750W Solar install on TT
I am attempting to wire a 2800W Inverter/750W PV system onto a 2007 Kodiak 210DB hybrid, capable of shore or generator input. I am posting my basic wiring diagram in the hope that, if I've overlo...

Your drawing appears to show a 50 amp service, so the existing converter input needs a method to have its 120ac OFF when the inverter is on. Otherwise, you are wasting power by trying to create a perpetual motion/energy type of system.
I would wire the panels in series if you can. In a solar installation in an RV, this is typically a fairly long wire run. The higher series voltage will allow for significantly smaller gauge wire without power loss.
I don't see the need for fuses on the solar side.
In my opinion, MPPT charge controllers are the way to go with solar.
In my opinion, your battery bank should be fused and switched. And I forget, but there is a general consensus of which of them should be first in the circuit.
In your drawing, you will lose charge current through the shunt. I recommend the MPPT connections directly to the battery bank.
Lastly, every connection creates a small bit of resistance. IF you ever increase your battery bank to more than two batteries, I recommend that the MPPT charge wires, are diagonally connected across the battery bank from the inverter wires.
Hope this helps.
