Hi All,
Phase 1 of my modest solar project is wrapping up.
Here is what i have done so far:
Added 3 170 Watt panels to the 165 Watt already on the roof. Wired series for the 2 panel arrays and parallel to the solar controller.
Changed roof entry gland to accept MC4 standard connectors.
Pulled out the Furrion MPPT/50 solar controller and replaced with Victron 100/30. NICE
Added the Victron Smart Battery Shunt.
Added Raspberry Pie connectivity to the Victron Remote Management cloud. Also NICE.
Phase 2 will be add a decent Lithium battery and an inverter which brings me to my current question. While i have 2 breakers in the AC panel for an inverter with wires attached, i have no idea where they go. Clearly they do NOT go into the front battery bay as i have seen pictures from others rigs with the inverter prep and I have spent a lot of time now in the front bay and there are no inverter prep wires there. I have traced the wires from the breaker panel and looks like they head down into the frame area, but then its anyone's guess. My guess is that they were just left lying in the underbelly, but would like to hear from anyone with a 28BH that may have found theirs.
Additionally once i find them, not sure what to do with them. I want to add an inverter that feeds a couple of outlets in the coach but now quite sure how to do that given the factory installed inverter prep. Happy to get others feedback on appropriate next steps.
thanks
Al
