Just going down the path of adding a victron solar panel and controller to my 99 Bessacarr E695
The solar panel will be at the back of the motorhome and the leisure battery is right at the front under the passenger seat. I remember from my small van buld year ago the idea was to just introduce the solar power from the controller to the 12v system, not necessarily needing to be connected at the battery itself (wire size and fuses permitting).
The cables I think will be coming down into the cupboard where the battery charger and consumer unit is housed. Would i be able to tap into the cables that are running from the battery charger or distro panel to the leisure battery, or am i best running a fresh cable to the battery along side the ones already running the same route?
Just conscious of how some of the relays work and if i will effect that in any way?
See wiring diagram below (ignore the red circle, that was for a previous post)
