Rv Solar Panel Disconnect Switch

We ve connected the solar panels to the combiner box ran wire inside the rv to the location we are going to mount the solar charge controller and installed a solar panel disconnect switch.

Spotting the switch in the rv is quite easy. It also shows making crimping bat. The switch disconnects the battery s electrical power or isolates from the house portion of your rv. Pretty simple so far as we have basically just brought the power produced by the rooftop mounted solar panels inside the rv.

I m thinking that i don t want my battery s always connected to the solar panel while the trailer is in storage. I ve read if the lithium bank is only charged to 80 90 percent capacity it will increase the lifespan of the battery cells. Having a disconnect switch installed will essentially allow you to turn off the power your solar panels are producing from the rest of the system. In this video i install a remote disconnect switch for my 500 watt solar panel array.

Also it would be nice to turn off the solar juice in the winter when i pull the battery s and take them home for storage. This prevents parasitic loads such as the stereo clock and other appliance circuitry that lead to discharge.

This switch should be sized larger enough to carry the maximum amount of amps and voltage your particular solar array can produce. I wanted a solar disconnect switch so i can manually disconnect the charging current to my new lion energy lithium battery bank before they come to a 100 state of charge. I pull the main battery disconnect switch so the trailer isn t drawing power while setting.
