How Does Power Inverter Attach to Trailer that Uses Solar Panels with Converter
Published 08/08/2019
Question:
I have an off-road trailer with 36V 190W solar panels, 5000 btu AC unit, Progressive Dynamics Converter, and 2 120V outlets. I am interested in an inverter, I had my solar panels wired to battery and it got fried. I wasnt sure how to wire the inverter with the battery to get the best performance. I was looking at part number WC3720, but Im not even sure what kind of wattage I might need for all of his stuff. What would you recommend for this setup?

Expert Reply:
So all of your charging and power circuits run to your trailer battery so all you need to do to install an inverter on it like the Wagan part # WC7320 is run the power and ground wire of it to the battery and you're set. Since you already have a converter on the solar panel charge line for the battery that won't be an issue again either.
This would be a large enough wattage inverter for the setup you have as well.
