Help with solar install

We are in the final days of our build and really need help putting together our solar setup.

So far we have the 150/35 charge controller and we just purchased the Multiplus 24/3000 130v inverter/charger.

Our plan is to be able to charge the batteries (lithium) via alternator since our panels will not be accessible while driving. I found this diagram earlier but it seems like there is way more than we need and I do not want to start modifying plans for something I don't fully understand yet.

We would really appreciate if someone could help us come up with a parts list of the rest of the stuff we need in order to get this setup in the coming weeks.

Thank you!

Hi @sasquatters Typically system design request/assistance is not allowed in the forum. I do however suggest you clearly define your requirements. Of course you won't necessarily need all the same equipment, but that depends if you will charge from the alternator, type of batteries, loads, solar etc. etc. Maybe consider contacting a dealer to discuss.

We have four 24v panels, a 24v battery bank, and will likely use a Sterling Power DC battery to battery charger so we can use the alternator for charging.
