[Todd & Mary]

We installed 6) 100AH lithium batteries and a 3KW inverter. I used all Victron equipment and canadian 350 watt bifacial panels.
Our first test has been boondocking in Quartzsite for 2 weeks, our lifestyle has not been affected at all running on solar. We use approx 40% to 50% of the batteries overnight and charge time is 4-5 hrs. in 2 weeks the only time we have run the generator was on a totally cloudy day. We have a residential fridge. It would figure those 2 weeks were the coldest we've seen since being in Arizona, so we ran the furnace quite a bit! It was all a challenge to install. I tucked the batteries in the generator bay because we don't have a built-in gen. then the equipment is in the empty spot behind the passthru wall behind the control center. I was appalled when I first opened the space as it was a tangle of wiring, couldn't even really organize it without disconnecting a lot of the wires! I ran the bundle of wires in a cable tray to make room for the equipment. It was terrible fun! I used a solar company to help with suggesting and calculations for the system. My only regret so far is not installing more batteries.
