More solar panels and a new controller

Swapping out the pair of 95 Ah AGM batteries for a single 280 Ah LiFePO4 battery necessitates an increased demand for power from the solar panels. I also have a desire to elevate the panel voltage to 24 volts to enhance charging efficiency during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Another measure to harness more power from the solar panels involves replacing the current solar charger with a MPPT-capable charger from Victron.

The original solar charger to be removed:

The new Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100-20, I later moved it down to the Victron box with yielded shorter wires to the batteri and thinner wires to the panels:

The two new solar panels being glued, with weights on:

Yeah, more power:
