Summary
The solar and electrical system on the van was one of the most daunting tasks during the entire build process.
If I’m being honest
This was the project that I had the least amount of knowledge on, so it required the most amount of research. So hopefully this break down of my electrical and solar system will help you plan out yours.
One of the hardest parts of sizing your solar system is to determine just how big of a system you need to meet your daily usage. The reason it takes so much time and effort is because most people have never really had to think about their daily power consumption.
So if you want to be lazy and avoid the need for all calculations you can just copy my exact system and never have to worry about it. I run;
- Electric induction cooktop,
- Fridge / freezer combo,
- Kettle, blender,
- Lights, water pump,
- Charge a computer,
- Charger cameras,
and many other things and have never had any issues.
