Ive just built a similar portable system but went with 48v instead and also had the same problem with included inverter cables being undersized. This is my opinion , you dont need a fuse between a charge controller and battery but u need a fuse between the battery and an inverter . That PWM will produce probably 30amps at full tilt which is nothing to your 200Ah battery. Even if the charge controller doubles its output to 60amps (which is never) your battery bank will handle it like its nothing unless u using the fuse as a breaker ,its not protecting anything
yes that's exactly what it used for just to separate the battery completely if needed...cables get warm so the next size up would be better may upgrade we are doing more work today on it!
For anyone putting in their own solar, please be aware that the system in this video is quite a bit underpowered. My math says he needs at LEAST one more battery, and at least 500W in panels. With this system, it's not likely to charge well enough to keep up, and the heater can only be run for a couple of hours before you're in the cold.
So there is a total of 400w on the roof mixed panels in the video some were offline and dirty. Yes you are correct at 200aH the battery will last around 2.5 hours on full load…..on low provides around 4 plus hours…..check our other videos out on our large system. Thanks for your comment!
Nice setup!!!
Thanks man!
Great work ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
TY!
MPPT charge controllers are not that expensive and well worth the money. Capt you gonna need more power if you want to Run an AC
@@mannyfragoza9652 absolutely agree! We have a 40a MPPT on our larger system. This is just a tiny house that we use occasionally

The inverter has 8 blade fuses internally that are replaceable.....I have a 100A fuse but it's too small ordered a 200A waiting on it
Hope its not cold there…
sometimes this is only used once in a while on high get about 2.5 hours on low over 5. we are upgrading some things. Thanks for stopping in!
