Question:

I am wanting to upgrade my 200w Renogy Kit I have had on my Fifth wheel trailer for about 5 years. I am wanting to replace them with 4 200w solar panels, a 60 amp charge controller, and a 3000 watt inverter. I will wire and designate 3 separate plugins in my trailer for 110v from my inverter. I will upgrade the battery bank to 4 12v lithium ion batteries 100ah each. I want to connect my 12v system from my RV that runs the converter to the battery bank. Should that be an issue with anything or should I have any shut off’s anywhere? I know I need fuses between the solar panels and the controller and between the controller and the battery bank. Also I will need a fuse between the battery bank and the inverter. Any diagrams that you could send me would be appreciated. Fuse types and sizes would help if you could send me them also. Thanks.

We can get you set up with everything you need with the solar panels, 60 amp solar controller, and 3,000 watt inverter charger. That said, the solar panels we offer are 190 watt and not 200 watt, so a total of 760 watts.

That said, the solar kit and inverter charger that you need which will work together are the following:

- Go Power Solar AE-4 All Electric System with MPPT Solar Controller - 760 Watt Solar Panels # 342-75010

- Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger - 3,000 Watts # 34275013

- Installation Kit for Go Power Inverters - 400 Amp Fuse - 12V and 24V # 342GPDCKIT5

This fuse block will go between the inverter and your battery bank, and connecting your 12 volt system from your RV that runs the converter to the battery bank should not be an issue. That is the only fuse needed for this system, and in regards to diagrams, I have added links below to the installation instructions for all three parts for you to check out.
