I added a state of the art small solar system to my 2014 LivinLite CampLite 13BHB.
The system below maintains battery at 100% charge for over 4 days with normal use and I currently do not need additional solar panels to run the following system highly efficiently.
Here are the major components I used to achieve this outstanding solar performance:
Solar Panel:
▪ Solar Panel; Renogy 1x100 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panel , Short-Circuit Current: 5.21A
Solar Management Components:
▪ Din Rail Breaker Box; uxcell IP65 ABS Transparent Cover Power Distribution Protection Box for Circuit Breaker
▪ Solar Disconnect Breaker; 2P 250V Low-voltage DC Miniature Circuit Breaker For Solar Panels Grid System din rail mount (63A)
▪ Solar Charge Controller; victron energy SmartSolar MPPT 100/30
▪ DC Distribution system; victron energy Lynx Distributor
▪ Battery Monitor; victron energy BMV-712 Smart
▪ Battery Fuse Holder; Blue Sea Systems 5005, 35 to 300 Amp Anl Fuse Block with Insulating Cover
▪ Battery Fuse; Blue Sea Systems ANL Fuse 80 amp
▪ Master Disconnect; Blue Sea Systems 300 Amp m-Series Battery Switches
▪ Battery; Smart Battery 12v 75 AH Deep Cycle Lithium Ion Battery
The Solar Panel is mounted on the right side roof between the Air Conditioner and the wet bath roof fan.
The Solar Management Components are installed in front dinette storage space.
My system as installed works amazingly.
The Solar Management Components are sized to allow for easy solar panels additions if needed in the future.
Note! The roof space available after installing the one solar panel could fit 2 additional 100 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panel, however this would be a really tight fit.
