This is the video detailing how I installed my entire solar setup. It's long and slow, but that's just how I do. More videos of the slowest bus conversion ever... coming soon.

There was a lot of research involved in the process of deciding how to do these things. The number 1 resource was Handy Bob's Battery Charging Puzzle. It's long and full of rants about the solar industry, but totally worth the read and multiple rereads. I recommend you print it and use a highlighter. Link below:
