Continuous Solenoid And Solar Panel Together For Charging House Battery

Well assuming there is a charge controller fitted on the solar installation then both charge sources the battery charger and the solar system are regulated.
Continuous solenoid and solar panel together for charging house battery. If the voltage on either one is above 13 3 volts indicating the battery is being charged it closes the isolator relay paralleling the batteries charging both. The bird operates in conjunction with a continuous duty solenoid to provide the isolator battery charging functions of a motor home. So as i m getting everything installed i picked up a continuous duty solenoid to keep my batteries topped up on days when i can t get good solar. People globally have gone solar since it helps reduce the ever rising power utility bills.
I had a 40w solar panel for charging my batteries with a 7a solar charge controller. I found this useful. Work trucks boats recreational vehicles long haul trucks and fleet vehicles all have a battery isolator if the alternator is being used to charge both the house and vehicle batteries. So the worry is that if solar panels are running at the same time will they overcharge the battery because it now has two sources charging it.
It will be about 20 25 feet to route the cable between my house batteries and the front of the van. I just upgraded to a 120watt panel and 30a solar charge controller. Jump to latest follow 1 3 of 3 posts. Problem i have is that i have no idea how heavy cable i need or what fuse to put on it.
Dual battery charging continuous duty solenoid. The vehicle chassis battery is typically an automotive type of battery that provides high cranking amps to start the engine. Solar battery charging basics. Solar energy has become one of the most valuable sources of renewable energy.
