Thanks, a;ways nice to see a good installation completed. The subpanel is a beauty!
Now all you have to figure is how you're going to use all the power, and beyond, lol.
If you have some time, please, post back to this thread or start another with the operation of your inverter powered devices (fridge!). There are members asking about 120V or 12V fridges and the relationship between batteries, inverter, and fridge while using solar.
Thanks. The subpanel is 1/4 aluminum plate that I rounded the edges over, sandblasted, and powder coated. I bought the vents from McMaster.
It's removable since it serves as an access to the back of the panel. Jayco had just used a 12 x 14 furnace vent.
I'm hoping to get the rest of it finished up by next weekend. Tomorrow I plan to build the combiner box. The panels should arrive during the middle of the week, and then I'll install the panels and the batteries .
