Greetings and Happy Easter,
I've attached a photo below for the following:
I am not putting my passenger seat back in my G10 cargo van, the reason being is I'd like to take the metal partition and turn it into a battery/solar component compartment.  I'm going to insulate it electrically and for climate (as I've done for the interior of my van.  Included will be a door.  My (2) 100ah lithium batteries and the rest of my components will be sitting about a foot away from the where the very back of the passenger seat would be.  Again, there will be an insulated door and the passenger window is tinted.
I am doing this because I'm a big guy, it's not a large van and it makes it very accessible for me work on, plus I want to keep all my "nerve center"-like equipment in approximation to each other.

Is this a bad idea as far as heat goes since it is sort of near the cab area where the windshield can filter in sunlight?
The side not facing the camera is 2 feet wide btw, looks decieving.
