Add To Cart

This power system includes all the critical components to power a mobile lifestyle. Two different charging sources (solar and alternator) charge a sealed AGM battery bank. The DC output passes through a protection system to prevent overly discharging the battery bank, and can easily power LEDs, fans and cell phone chargers. On the AC side, a small inverter can power a laptop or an entertainment system.

What you get:

All the components needed to make a complete system
Installation manual with a full bill of materials
Connection diagrams detailing the entire system
AM Solar phone, email and Facetime support

Upgrade or Modification Options:

This complete kit is composed of five subsystems: Solar Charging, Battery Bank/Monitoring, Alternator Charging, AC Input/Output & DC Distribution. These subsystems can be removed or modified based on what you already have or want.

Solar

Changing the Panels:  The charge controller can support a maximum of 200W, so you are pretty much maxed out on the controller. You may consider removing one or both panels and switching to a single 170W panel or another panel rated at 200W or less.

Change the Charge Controller:  The current charge controller core is rated for 15A and uses 8ga cable. If you want more than 200W of solar, check out our 30A or 50A charge controller cores using thicker 6ga or 4ga cable.

External Port:  An external charging port can be added that would allow for the use of folding panels as long as the charge controller can handle the extra wattage.

Battery Bank

Different AGM Batteries: The standard configuration comes with two 6V 220Ah AGM batteries. If you want more energy storage you could get a single 12V 255Ah battery, or multiple 255Ah batteries connected in parallel. You could also add more pairs of 6V 220Ah batteries, or upgrade to 300Ah or 400Ah batteries. All batteries need to be the same make, model and age.

Lithium Batteries: With the Lithium Base Kit you can simplify the alternator charging kit and remove the BP65 from the DC distribution system. Add up to four Lithium Battery Add-on kits as long as all the kits have the same amp hour rating.

AC and DC Distribution

More DC Outlets: The standard configuration comes with a 6 position fuse block. We have a 12 position block available. You can also get more outlets.

More AC Outlets: The standard inverter has one built-in AC outlet. If you need more, you can plug in a power strip, or modify an extension cord to a sub panel with breakers and use that to feed additional outlets.

Inverter/Charger System

Add a Charger: With this kit, you do not have the option for shore power charging, but it can be added. It can be as simple as a 7A clip-on charger, or permanently mounted Progressive Dynamics 45A or 60A model with shore power cord an inlet, or upgrade to an inverter/charger all-in-one unit.

Upgrade the Inverter: For stand-alone inverters without chargers, we have 800VA and 1200VA models available. You may also consider the Victron Multiplus 2000VA and 3000VA inverter/charger systems with shore power cord, inlet, main panel, and subpanel.

Monitoring

Upgrade the Display: Add a wall mounted MPPT Control to monitor the charge controller or a Victron Color Control GX Monitor to show complete system status on a single animated display.
