12 V distribution panel with three master disconnect switches. The three switches allow for battery bank switching for the converter, the inverter, and the solar controller.
The back of the panel is where all the connections are made with 4 AWG cable to the switches.
Below this distro panel are three power bus boxes, one (+) phase for each battery bank (two total)and one (-) phase bus for both. The device fusing is done in the bus boxes.
You can see the AGM bank in the above pic, 100AH total between the three. I also have a bank of two 6V GC2 golf cart batteries. The 6V's are 6' from the distro panel, inside in a vented box. I used 1/0 AWG for that 6'. The 1/0 is in 2" ABS pipe underneath the floor.
