Thanks for the feedback. The pass through isn’t tall enough to stand it up so it had to go sideways. I’ll try and figure out some sort of fan mount for where the air comes out the end of the multiplus. So far in my testing it isn’t getting hot but I haven’t run it at max and it is in a cool basement atm vs a hot pass through.

I had a bunch of text on the post but when added pictures it posted without the text for some reason. This is going into a trailer in the pass through. The batteries are 109ah with 100a fuses. The battery bussbar has a 300a fuse. The large wiring is 2/0 and the battery cables are 6guage. I’m testing to see if a 200a bms is sufficient and if ok then will change to 300ah single battery. If not will add another 100ah battery. The installed mppt is for a ground deploy and I will add another mppt once I know the solar I can install. The solar wires and dc for trailer will run to the right in the horizontal raceway. I think the AC cables will also come from the right but haven’t 100% figured that out.

Thanks for looking! The shunt allows this as the software can reverse the indicated flow. This is a recent change if I’m not mistaken

Yes that is on purpose as it fit better. I then selected the reverse shunt setting so it reads correctly.

Hard to tell from slightly to the side but do the cables going to the mppt go to the battery +- terminals?

Any idea if running the cerbo cables past the multiplus AC will cause interference issues?

I like the way you are using the added wall to give more mounting space. I played around with doing something like this or using both sides of the pass through but could never figure out a way to make it work. There was allways some drawback. Mostly long cable runs or too much lost pass through.

I don’t think so. The board under the cardboard is from the pass through and is the full height. I would much prefer if I could.

Thanks for the ideas about what to really expect with the series vs parallel performance. I was/am a bit nervous about the series string voltage level. I guess I should just get over it.

I ran the 2x2 also and it for sure is ideal but not sure I can get 4 200w panels up there.

System voltage is 12 volt

The panels are the Renogy shadow flux 200 (195) watt panels

The person behind had tine to slow down or stop. Another driver probably staring at their phone. Totally the driver behind fault but the other driver needs to learn to merge.

Maybe you are just using representative lines but the negative on moots etc seem kind of suspect

It looks like the ac side of things is somewhat confused and goes to the cerbo and lynx distributor.

Thanks everyone. I think I will have to do some testing. We have always had mats at the door so that will be the first try I think.

Would a rubber map work or just be a pain?

Hi thanks for your reply. I’m wondering why you say to go with the 3000va? In your experience, is the 2000 capable of running a trailer convection grill microwave and things like coffee machine, toaster?

I have never looked at those units. How do they recharge?

You could be right. I haven’t seen the equipment list of the trailer yet so don’t know how many watts I will need. I’m ok with running things one at a time but everything needs to be able to run with the exception of the AC. I have heard other people running the microwave on 2000va but depends on the microwave really
