In the process of a redo on the solar, mounting the two 80 watt panels on the roof. These will be tilt able in four directions. Just finished the Mid Night solar breaker panel. 4 AWG from CC to breaker and to the batteries. 6 AWG from each panel bank breaker to a tie point withing the Big Baby Box. 4 AWG to the CC.
Still have 8 AWG for the pair of portables which will now be 100 watt each. 10 AWG still from roof mounted panels.
Shunt for the Trimetric is mounted in a plastic electrical box. The TS-45 still uses remote sense and I added a remote temp probe last July.
Still haven't decided if I want to spring $30 bucks for matching battery boxes.
Once I complete the roof mount redo and get the new 100 watt panels in I'll up date the pics.
