Roof solar, victron, eco flow question

[Dellmassive]

Yes, you can do that.

- use the solar to maintain the starter battery when I'm not using the van

Just fit a solar mppt controller connected to the starter battery, voltage hen plus your panels into that.

Look at the Victron Bluetooth smart controllers above.


.

- charge the EcoFlow from van when on the move

Yes, it's limited to 8A so just at trickle charge. You need to run a fused xt60 cable from the starter battery or fuse Box to the Ecoflow location.... Then plug in while driving.

Thanks @Dellmassive ,

I take it I would need an isolation switch to divert solar to smart solar>>starter battery? Could you please sanity check my logic/config in the diagram below for me, I'm a computer and tech geek but electronics isn't something I've don't much of but I wanna get stuck in.

Also, I want to run some LED lights in the headlining from the Ecoplus, how would I provide the power to those in this config please?

The logic diagram looks about right.

Just make sure all battery connections are correctly fused, and cables are the correct thickness.

There is a post on here where someone had a very similar install.

I'll see if I can find it.

The Ecoflow only has one XT60 input for solar OR van ignition fed 12v though - well my Delta Mini does.

So you would need one XT60 connector to plug into the EF and some kind of change over switch for the two feeds (solar and van 12v) at that point.
