Solar Wiring & Panel Sizing (525W Switched On!) | Transit Van Conversion E23

We're carrying on with our electrics this time and installing and wiring our mppt charge controller and the rest of our campervan solar system.

We already installed 3x 175W monocrystalline solar panels on the roof previously, so this time we're connecting it up the other end, wiring it through our IMO solar disconnect breaker and into our Victron 100/50 charge controller.

The Great British Weather strikes again, and we're wiring our solar system in the heart of Winter, so we're not sure how much solar power we'll be generating straight away... 😄

Thanks for watching! Any comments or questions? Let us know below!
