Hi Don,
Find a different space for the inverter. My Magnum caught on fire in August of 2016. You need LOTS of room for cooling it. DAMHIK
Another alternative is to not have an inverter charger. It is quite cost effective to do so. I'd consider the Prowatt line 2000 watt PSW that bestconverter sells for $350.00. Granted it is a "throw away". Use the money so saved to get a new PD converter. The new ones charge at 14.8 volts. The 80 amp model would be more than adequate for the very few times that the 920 watts of solar won't meet your needs.
BTW there are no dumb questions, ever.

I checked on the Victron inverter/chargers,
but find that they are too BIG to fit into the small electrical bay I have to work with, which is 18"x 20" x 20".
I can tuck the mag inverter/charger upside down from the above shelf, and just barely have enough room for the MS MPPT CC going in there along with the other equipment needed etc.
I had planned on getting temp senors for all equipment used etc.
