I thought I would start a thread with links to forum member's solar installations that have been documented with pictures. Thought it might be a good idea to have a one stop thread for anyone planning on doing the same so you can get any ideas without having to search the forums. I have linked the ones that I could remember or find but feel free to add yours or anyone else's that I have forgot.I have edited the list to show all installations in the thread.sleepy's installation2oldman's installationFire Instructor's installationCJW8's installationWanderMan's installationrenoman69's installationJManatee's installationMello Mike's installationnina_70's installationMrWizard's installationTechWriter's installationsonicsix's installationbigfootford's installationDave 1131's installationsmkettner's installationwatchthebox's installationSCVJeff's installationCallThisCamping!? installationsabconsulting's installationCrazyCooter's installationRickSo's installationgaryhartz's installationbogen2's installationJersey Shore's installation12thgenusa's installationGrodyman's installationCA Traveler's son's installationsteve8679's installationcruz-in's installationHeynow999's installationMARLANDO's installationTom M's installationBFL13's "Contraption"marcindy's installationBull Rhino's installation/videoSnowman9000's installationEsoxLucius installation

Just connect one of the main feeds to the pink side and you are good to go.

I prefer this drawing. Basically the same either way.

Hello all, I hope it is ok that I post here. I am worried about installing the batteries. I am going to set them in Series/Parallel. They will be (4) 6volt at 220 amp/hours. I have the room in the compartment. Just the wiring them up scares me. The rest of the work was done by dealer. Please no horror stories but advice about hooking up wire would be great. Mainly how to tie it all together without it blowing up on me.

Thank you,
Dave
