Exciting News: New Millard Caravan Semi Off-Grid Setup Completed! 😊
Recently, we completed a fantastic enhancement on a brand-new Millard Caravan, elevating it from a simple 12V system to a remarkable semi off-grid configuration! If you are dedicated to off-grid camping experiences, enhancing your power system is essential. Below are the high-quality components we utilized for this particular project:
Components Used:
🔋 PowerPaul Australia Pty Ltd Scout 300ah Lithium Battery
☀️ 2x Victron 100/30 MPPT Smart Solar Controllers
📊 Victron SmartShunt
🔌 Victron 30A AC Charger
🔋 Redarc 40A DC Charger with External Solar Input
🌞 2x 200W Alvolta Solar Panels
Key Features:
Efficient Solar Power Management: We utilized two Victron 100/30 MPPT Smart Solar Controllers to manage a total of 800W of solar power, split into two strings for optimal performance and to mitigate shading issues. This includes the existing 2x 200W solar panels along with the new 2x 200W Alvolta panels.
Seamless Integration: All Victron equipment is networked together, ensuring maximum charge efficiency and easy monitoring through the Victron SmartShunt.
Vehicle Charging Solution: The Redarc 40A DC Charger with an external solar input provides a robust and reliable method for vehicle charging while on the move.
Optimized Space Usage: Everything is neatly mounted in the tunnel boot area, maximizing internal storage under the bed and keeping the living space clutter-free.
With this setup, keeping the Scout lithium battery charged is a breeze, ensuring reliable power for all your off-grid needs.
