Note there is no wiring installed yet to the panels. Both the disconnect and controller are mounted on the wall of a closet just above the deep cycle batteries. In the above photos, a standard one-pole air conditioning disconnect is used to allow the panels to be disconnected from the controller.

It is our intent to be able to live normally (except for running the air conditioners) and bring the batteries to a full state of charge on reasonably sunny days without plugging in to shore power or running the generator. Here is some info on the solar battery charging system that we are currently in the process of adding to the motorhome.
