Recommended 1500 Watt Solar Set Up
Question:
I am embarking on a tiny home build and looking to get advice on our needs for a hybrid electrical system. We will be doing 50 amp shore power with a traditional Converter distro panel as well as a solar setup probably around 1500 watts. Is this something you could assist with information on for what I need to purchase and install?

I would be happy to! The Progressive Dynamics 4500 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution Panel item # PD4590K18LS8 would be a great option for your setup. It's rated for 240v to handle your 50 amp service and has 12 branch circuits rated at 50 amps.
Our highest rated solar kit is the 6 panel Go Power AE 6 kit item # 342-75011 which is capable of putting out up to 1,140 watts per hour. You can add a couple of the Go Power Overlander Expansion Kit - 200 Watt Solar Panel item # 34282182 to get you closer to 1,500 watts.
You'll also need some high amperage Lithium batteries like the Go Power Sun Cycle Advanced Lithium RV Battery item # GP99QR which is rated for 100 amp hours.
