I've been researching and have acquired virtually all my components to install solar in my trailer in the near future. I have one question that is bothering my a little and I can't seem to find an answer online. I have 3 sets of wires that will be connected to my batteries (two 6V 225 Ah golf cart). 1) Coming from my charge controller2) Coming from my RV panel3) Going out to a small inverter (450W) that will be stand alone (not tied into the trailer 120V AC) just for charging small electronics.Is it okay to attach all three connections to the battery terminals? Just one on top the other, on top the other, then screw it down?

If by RV panel you mean the 12v distribution panel, yes.

Yes, but the inverter and charge controller should be fused.

Great, thanks. Yes, I have fuses for the system.

I'd prefer using a buss bar system.

Pianotuna, I have three attached at the battery and its hard to get the bolt on. Your idea of a buss bar is a good one.

I picked up my +/- buss bars at my local West Marine for cheap.

I bought 100W + 150W Renogy panels. The 100W was a package, so it came with a renogy 30amp charge controller.

And the bus bar is good idea if I'm struggling with space. Thanks.
