Welcome back to the channel, ya kookz! Today we are going through a complete guide on how to wire a 12 Volt Solar System for a Van Conversion or off-grid power in an emergency. This is a simple, straightforward, kook-proof way to wire your van conversion. In this video, we will be going over step-by-step how to wire your van conversion.

We will start with wiring our 12-volt batteries in parallel and how to ground your batteries to your van chassis. As well as installing a battery shunt to monitor our batteries and a master on /off kill switch. Next, we will move on to wiring bus bars to distribute our positive and negative cables through a common ground.

We will also walk you through wiring a fuse panel and how a fuse panel works, and how to wire your cables, wires, and fuses accordingly. From here, we will move on to how to set up an MPPT charge controller so we will be able to charge our house batteries via a solar array. We will then move on to wiring a 2000 Watt power inverter and how to size the wire and fuses for your inverter.

Lastly, we will go over how to charge your 12-volt house batteries off your alternator so you can charge your batteries while driving. We will go over how to install a DC to DC charger or a Smart Battery Isolator for those of you with AGM 12 Volt Batteries.
