Solar on Conversion Van: Complete Set Up
Off grid electric supply.
We got an estimate for a solar install: $4,000 for the equipment only. They wouldn't quote the labor costs! What?! Yikes!
We considered a variety of complete solar kits and knew we could get a decent one for under $1,000 (minus the lithium batteries, of course).
We also considered piecing our own system together.
After all the research- and learning more about solar energy than we ever intended (see our condensed list of helpful info) - we knew what we needed.
Our DIY Solar Kit
2 x mono 24v solar panels (minimum of 300 watts total)
60 MPPT charge controller

2 x 20 MC4 in line fuses

5 ft. red and black wire
