Go Power Solar AE-6 All Electric System for 2016 Jayco Pinnacle
Question:
I am looking to purchase the AE-6 package 342-75011. I have a Jayco Pinnacle 2016 38FLSA. It appears to be somewhat pre-wired for a solar system. My questions are 1 How many batteries are recommended I believe at least 6? and what are the part numbers if you sell them? 2 What inverter should I get? and what would a inverter in this setup do? I am unsure if a inverter is a must at this point and what is functions/use as in this.

The quantity of batteries is less important than the amp hour (AH) rating of each that makes up the battery bank as a whole. Four Power Sonic group 24 RV Lithium Battery's, # PS34FR rated for 75 AH will provide a 300 AH bank. Four Power Sonic Group 27's, # PS44FR, will provide a battery bank of 500 AH as each is rated for 125 AH while consisting of only a slightly larger foot print. Also consider that if you have a battery bank of lead acid battery's, you can not do as deep of a discharge or you will potentially ruin the battery. Lithium chemistry allows for an almost full discharge. This is the best chemistry on the market today for RV use.
I suggest that you first calculate your expected daily usage of energy and clarify your objective. Are you wanting to full time RV off-grid. Occasional boondocking where you can conserve energy usage relative normal for a period of time and if a generator fits into the equation.
If you select the Go Power Solar AE-6 All Electric System with 2 MPPT Solar Controllers - 1,140 Watt Solar Panels, # 342-75011 then I suggest you consider at least a 1000 AH battery bank at minimum and the 3,000 Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter, # 34278157. Or the 3,000 Watt Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Charger, # 34275013 if you will be using a generator at times too.
A great set up would be 6 Power Sonic RV Lithium Battery, # PS64FR. These are 200 AH Group 4D 12V batteries. Match this to a 3,000 Watt Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Charger and internal transfer switch, # 34275013 to a Go Power Solar AE-6, 1,140 Watt Solar Panels, # 342-75011 and a generator as back-up. The use of an inverter will allow you to change your stored energy from its 12V supply to a usable 120V alternating current same as in your house connected to the nations power grid.
