After thinking about my system, I came up with an idea. What if I ran my house, inverter and solar all to a buss bar. Then 1 single main to the battery. This would be to clean up my battery box and just have 1 single connection going to the battery positive. Another reason I was thinking of doing this is because when I replaced the batteries last week, pretty much all the connection lugs and wire are very corroded and need replacement. I saw those and was NOT happy. I want to replace them with tinned marine style to help prevent further issues. It looked as the previous owner didnt really take care of the lugs or the connections.
I am also thinking of installing a Blue Sea battery type switch to the inverter positive so I can just use the switch to turn on the inverter. It would be between the inverter fuse and the battery. The current setup to get the inverter to run is to go outside, open the battery box, and attach the inverter cables to the battery when I want to use it. Then disconnect everything to turn it off. This way I could control it all from inside, andeliminate having to open the battery box every time I want to use it.
What Im thinking:
House ----->
Inverter ----> All to high amp buss Bar -----> Battery
Solar ------->
