Got this from jaboni about the factory solar set up
Adam,
Currently, the 2000w inverter is wired to the Recliners, Living room TV, Fridge, Bedroom Nightstand outlet and Kitchen GFI. It is not wired to the AC and it isn’t strong enough to run one. To run an AC you really need a large battery bank, 3000w inverter/charger and the AC should have a “Soft Start” installed.
You can add a second panel to the existing system without overloading it. If you go any larger you would need to run a second set of wires or wire the panels in series and go with a larger MPPT charger that could handle the higher voltage and upgrade the wire and fuse from the Solar Charger to the batteries. Technically, the 10awg wires from roof to charger can carry 30 amps dc. If you had 4 265w panels wired in series that would be about 9 amps at 117 volts. You could then run a 75amp 150v charger and only change the wiring in the lower compartment.
We will have our own 60a charger fairly soon but we do carry the full line of Victron chargers if you want to go larger.
Thanks,
Matt Wolkins
