Hi guys. I really like your content. Wish I had found you folks 6 months ago before I went down the solar rat hole with my 2022 28BH Reflection. While I did not go quite as bid as this customer, I Probably would have sone my layout a little differently if I had seen this first. I did go all Victron so got the major components right. Don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers as there is a lot to learn from your installs. Please keep up the good work..
Ah... Yea GD com'on. I'll talk bad :-) Furrion sucks with a lot of their products. I have the 2022 303rls and getting ready to do this exact install. Wish I had the money for someone like you guys, but barely can afford the equipment! So we scour TH-cam looking for great content like this to help us out. I like the shut off and shunt connected to the Lynx idea, takes up less space and wiring. Great stuff
Sorry we don’t cover all the details in every video. Eventually, we need to create specific video examples for those specific topics and then reference those I suppose. I appreciate the feedback.
Great set of videos, I love the experiments. I have a 2020 303RLS, and I was looking to do this kind of install, down to the same panels and 3 panels in series configuration. I am curious about your choice of 150/100 vs 150/85 charge controller. Spec sheet shows 150/85 is up to 1200 watts. I am guessing you want the overhead in capacity for longer controller? Any other pluses to the 150/100?
That’s about it. It goes the customer options in the future as well. Glad you’re enjoying the content. I’ve got some other experiments planned as well.
nice to see you doing installs, haven't chatted in a while, hope all is going well. was wondering if you know of a good solution for measuring ac use when using a non victron inverter. my pi4 is still working well as your videos were very clear, but i wanted to see if its possible to watch the ac use. best of luck.
I think just a hand full of wood screws. Hasn’t failed us yet. Edit: if hitting metal support we’ll use those self tapping screws included in solar panel mount kits. About the only thing they are good for.
Minute 5:37 appears you left the old battery disconnect in place? And the wires for the old disconnect show still in place at minute 6:29. The red from the bottom second from the left, and the black bottom 1st from the right.
Yes, I typically leave as much of the stock system in place as possible. I figure if an RV tech needs to work on the system, keep that part functional.
What size fuse did you use for the positive terminal that runs to the DC panel bus bar? I know the correct size for the output from the solar controller (100 amps for my solar setup) and from the inverter to the battery (400 Amp T Fuse). My DC fuse panel says max of 160 Amps, so that's what I'm leaning towards. I have the same Reflection model shown here.
Fuses protect wire, so whatever size wire you have you go 10-30% up. So 6 awg we do at 80 amps (rated for 50 amps) and so on. We commonly run 6 awg or 2 awg for DC main to coach. Would be 80 or 125 amps respectively.
Hey Shawn, what did you do to by-pass the Converter on this 303? Or is the shore power line going into the Converter first before going to the breaker and I missed that.
I’ll need to review it. Usually there is a plug on the back of the breaker panel you unplug and that does it. Worst case you unhooks the main positive from the converter.
Materials vary, but expect to pay $5000-$8000 in parts and $3000-$4000 for installation. Prices have come down quite a bit a bit from when this was done.

Thanks for the nice comment. If you need anything hit is up.
Our channel is still new, growth will come. You can say you knew us back when :-)

Another great install, thanks for sharing.
Nice job, as usual, Shawn. Can you share some details on the LED lighting that you add on many of the installs? Looks great not to mention functional!
It would be nice if you could go through how you wire your panels in , ie series , series parallel .

Kil-a-watt is a great little device to get a sense of AC loads. As far as long term monitoring and logging, I'm not sure.
@@sotasolar was looking at the victron ET112 connected to the pi4, thought you might have seen that?
Nice clean install! how did you mount board? Through bolt it to the existing backboard?

@@sotasolar Ok... thanks. I'll see about connecting it back in. It did work with it connected.

Hi do you sell the 12v to 5v step down?
Oh... Can this same setup be a 24v system with a 24v to 12v converter and 24v Lithium battery.
Yup. I love 24v systems
How much is something like this.
