My van was "pre wired for solar", which appears to mean there's a run of cable from the cupboard at the back of the van to the Elekroblock under the passenger seat. It's currently got a 175w panel and a 75-15 Victron SmartSolar attached to it.
If I were to add another 200w to it (because it's cheap and I can't help but modify)... what would I need to do?
I know I'll need another controller. And more holes in the roof.
I know the EBL input won't take more than about 15A, so I'll have to go straight to the battery, which is under the driver's seat. Which isn't an issue as I already have a busbar on the negative side and a midi fuse box with a spare slot on the positive.
But can I throw >30amps through the pre-wiring that goes to the front of the van? Or will I need to create a new cable run?
