Installing Solar System in Cargo Trailer

[@APC93]

14 mins into the video and Im impressed with how he is explaing it all

[@johnmcneil1681]

Look at this guy set up. I gotta put a bench like that. I want to make the same thing he’s got he turned his into a little workshop. That’s exactly what I want.

Very helpful! Thankyou bud!

[@johnmcneil1681]

I have the same solar set up in my car trailer, but I need to put a bench just like that one that’s a nice set up you got

[@steelbak-customs]

Cool setup. I was thinking that I would put a disconnect on the positive from the battery. That would eliminate the sparking. That's obviously not a big deal, but I looked up the NEC and 690 says that there should be one. Thanks for the video. I'm doing my homework to put a panel on my rig. I have a two battery inverter system on there, but I want to add solar.

[@braaap690]

Great job! Did you keep this system separate from the charging of the batteries from when you are plugged into the tow vehicle? Similarly, if you have a DC to AC battery charger when hooked into shore power, is that system isolated from your solar system? Thanks for your feedback in advance!

[@KevinHall-f7h]

Thanks exactly what i was looking for, thanks again.

[@stoneoriole]

Any wires that carry current should have some form of overcurrent protection. All positive dc wires should be fused and have disconnects.

Is your lights on a separate system or can you tie them into the 12v fuse block?

[@Studio-jk1tv]

Nice video

[@bigplansranch]

do you have this grounded anywhere to the trailer frame or within the system?

[@Jimmy2Tech]

It is grounded within the system. But you could add another ground to the trailer frame if you want.

[@johnmcneil1681]

I think you’re supposed to leave the batteries hooked up to your charge controller when you’re hooking up your solar panels, do you want to keep power to the charge controller?

How much did all the parts cost

[@loganorr9969]

What solar panels did you use and how did they go in?

[@Jimmy2Tech]

That was the first part of the series, we left a link in the description.

[@johnmcneil1681]

Your breaker needs to be in between the solar panels and the charge controller. I believe

[@skylaraguillard232]

will this charge the battery when plugged into generator power and when unplugged run off of 12 volt

[@Jimmy2Tech]

I don't have it set up that way but yes it can be arranged in that configuration.

[@skylaraguillard232]

@@Jimmy2Tech thanks how would it have to be arranged differently from yours?

[@andrew7202]

Build cost?

[@Jimmy2Tech]

Give me a little bit so i can tally up the cost and get back with you on that.

[@russellcorcoran2231]

How much wattage does your system put out?

[@Jimmy2Tech]

We have 300 Watts of solar on the roof but in reality you never get a full 300.
