    Lightbulb First 220RK Solar / Lithium install

    There aren't that many 220RK's out there and as far as I know, this will be the first one to have a full blow Solar / Lithium setup!
    I'll post a list of the major parts I bought tonight, including links, if anyone wants to "nerd out" with the details.
    The parts will start arriving in a few days through the next couple weeks.
    I'll post up photos of the install which will begin next month, once we've vacated our storage unit and headed down South.

    This will yield a 400aH LiFeP04 battery bank (equal to 800aH of AGM) yet it only weighs 116 lbs.
    Also, we'll have 990 Watts of Solar with a total cost of just under $10k.


    4x Battle Born 12V 100Ah (1,200Wh) LiFePO4 batteries.

    3000W 12VDC Pure Sine Hybrid Inverter Charger.

    Magnum Energy ME-RC50 Inverter Remote

    2x Blue Sky Solar Boost Charge Controllers 3024(D)iL

    Blue Sky IPN ProRemote(-S)

    6x 165 watt Solar Panels

    First 220RK Solar / Lithium install

    This space reserved for photos.

    Install started today, it will be finished up tomorrow.
    Ended up adding an additional solar panel so 1155 total watts on roof. Turns out we have room for another 200ah of Lithium in the front compartment so we’ll probably add that later on. Also, even though our Reflection was a 30a unit, the 3000 watt hybrid inverter is 60a so we now have gobs of power to spare!

    Here are a few photos, I’ll add more tomorrow!

    I bet the 2 3/4" wide solar panel is a typo

    I doubt it. Heck, the batteries will be nearly $4,000 alone! I would love LiFeP04 batteries but they are just to expensive for me

    Wow I have no clue about how expensive this stuff. Sorry I’ll plead stupidity.
