Your video just popped up on my yt, thanks for sharing... A couple of possible improvements if you like, is the fuse should be close to the battery or your unswitched busbar whichever way you have connected the solar .. The second thing, it depends on the size of your solar array but blade fuses dont cut it on larger systems, its the constant current through them which is the issue, but if they're not getting warm at all then they will be fine, i generally install a circuit breaker on the pv side and whatever is most appropriate for the system on the battery side anl fuses or a switched breaker. although many dont recommend fuses on the pv side, its nice to be able to disconnect the panels if you're changing out controllers, batterys or working on the unswitched part of the system.
Hello. Hay thanks for your info. Yep all of that understood. I have been completely rebuilding it all since the video you saw. If you subscribe to my channel you can see the next one come out in the near future. Let's just say it's light years ago that video lol
Hi there. That must be grounded to the Chassis. The best way to understand it, is it is not just another negative. So many people do that. Victron would never put an earth screw on for it to just be another negative. Any earth on Victron gear must go to the frame. Cheers
I love the use of a cutting board as the mounting plate for the CC and other stuff, it really adds to the décor of the build. Greetings from Jamaica.
Ha ha yeah I liked it to but I got stuck in and re did the whole cabinet. You can see that in my latest videos
@@tom18181 And i'm here thinking to re do mine and add a cutting board..lol
@lawrencedavidson6195 Well. If you to , go for it. The main this is you have to be happy with how it looks
Sounds good.

That wiring aint gonna cope with 40 amps continuous though so the fuse probably won't pop.
Well if you look on though my videos you may see some changes.
Where abouts on the van did u run the earth for the solar controller
