Hello everyone! We have started the installation of our solar system. We are using Renogy 590w bifacial (740w) panels connected to 48v solar charger 3500w inverter with 48v 105ah lifepo4 batteries. The frame will be installed this week and panels installed Saturday I hope. The wiring will be done later next month. Does anyone know if the radar arch has a direct path to the engine room? Or do I have to go through the helm seat pedestal to get to the engineroom?
thx,
Dale and Sheila

We installed the batteries in the aft cabin closet, the inverter/controller panel is in the engineroom. it works pretty well. We can run one ac and all the normal loads, water heater is the exception it eats a lot of amps.
