Connecting solar controller to inverter or converter feeds
I have a PD9280 and a Xantrex 600 watt inverter up front in our trailer under the front sofa. Each one is connected to my golf cart batteries with it's own 4ga cables, fuses are on the A frame in a weatherproof box, 100 amp fuse for the PD, 80 amp for the inverter.
Now I'm adding solar panels (3-120'S) and a Tristar 45 watt PWM controller; I don't want to remove the trailer underbelly to run more cables to the battery for the controller, so do you think it's ok to connect the controller to the 4ga going to the inverter, or should I change the wiring so the inverter is fed by the same 4ga going to the PD converter allowing me to connect the controller to the 4ga that used to go to the inverter? (Hopefully you know what I mean?)
( ... or am I worrying too much) ;)
Thanks
