I'm not totally up to speed about solar, but I've learned a lot since hitting the road 3 years ago. Still, I find some things confusing.
I have 320w of solar in the roof, a 2000w Victron inverter charger, a 50 amp mppt Victron charge controller (planning to add solar) and 2 100ah Battle born batteries. I did not do the installation. I don't know if this is to be expected given my system but, my Dometic only runs off solar so, when it's cloudy outside or overnight, or my charge drops below 13.2, I have to run the engine and plug the fridge into the van 12v instead of the solar 12v. At 13.2, when the fridge runs, it drops to 12.1 and charging stops.
Is this a function of too little solar?
Thanks for any insight.
