1st System: Off-grid 48v w dual voltage EV input
Great thread @BoxerCamper — the jump from 12v van life to 48v on a narrowboat is a proper education isn't it!

Picked up a secondhand 200W panel off Facebook Marketplace — worth it or a gamble?
Del72 | 847 posts @RussGreen that Kyocera find sounds like a result — those old panels were built like tanks.

Anyone else struggling to keep a small cabin warm in winter without spending a fortune on propane?

Anyone else running a Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30 alongside solar — how are you managing charge priority?
Finally got my Orion-Tr Smart 30A wired up in the van last weekend and I'm a bit unsure how to handle the overlap between it and my 200W roof panel going into a Victron SmartSolar 100/20.

Anyone else running a garden office purely on solar through winter? Struggling with my setup
@VoltDai worth mentioning the consumption side too — garden offices can be sneaky little power hogs in winter. Heating is usually the killer.

Anyone fitted solar to a narrowboat with a curved/radius roof before?
Del72 | Posts: 847 | Location: Midlands Great project @Jock30! To add to what @Chunk85 mentioned — one thing people often overlook with narrowboat installs is the orientation trade-off.

Really useful thread this. One thing worth adding — have you checked your DC ripple on the battery terminals under load?
