Sounds like you'll need separate: charger/inverter, battery isolator, and solar charge controller.
Newbie question about Charge Controllers
I'm still in the planning stages for my camper van conversion, and need some help figuring out what parts I'll need for the electrical system.
I want to be able to recharge the house battery from shore power, the alternator, and solar. Is it possible to purchase a charge controller that can handle these three power sources? Or do I need separate devices for each of them? Any recommendations?
On the output side, I will only run 110 devices when I'm actually plugged into shore power, so I don't think I need any sort of inverter. I'm planning to have an AC/DC fridge, which will run off AC when I'm plugged in to shore power, otherwise, off of the house battery (most of the time).
Other than that, I plan to use the house battery to recharge the phone and chromebook, run a few LED lights, and the Maxair roof fan.
