Solar options/upgrade

[k3ogh]

Evening all, i want to upgrade to solar and a lithium leisure battery, I have a orion Tr smart 12-12-30 non isolated DC DC charger with EHU in the van already (apologies don't fully understand it) would it take much to add solar without to much wiring?

I only want to run a fridge/ diesel heater/ TV and USB charging etc.

I'm in the Andover area

Post some pics of your current setup including chargers, battery, connections, fuses etc so we can work from there.

The Orion is lifepo4 compatible so that’s a good start. You will need to ensure the cabling and fusing are sufficient.

To add solar you will need an MPPT (suggest Victron to match the Orion) between your panel and the leisure battery. How this is all wired in will depend on the existing setup and where everything is.

Have a look at Nohma.com and Explorist.life for some great explanations of how this all works.
