Solar/inverter upgrade question (powering all sockets)

[82125]

At the moment I have a 500w panel, 30a MPPT controller, charging leisure batts only.

I also have an old, smaller, 100+w panel, PWM controller, charging just the starter battery.

I want to replace the 100w panel and PWM controller with what ever size I can fit (probably about 350w) and have it charge both leisure and starter batts, but I also want to upgrade my 300w inverter so I can run the microwave, kettle and/or induction hob possibly (3000w PSW inverter). I also want B2B fitted but probably not during this upgrade.

At the moment my inverter only feeds power to a single twin 240v socket in the living area, some usbs and a 12v socket (to charge my laptop/phone e.t.c).

What I dont understand is whats the best way for the new inverter to be able to power the appliances in the kitchen area?
Can it be wired to simply power all existing 240v sockets in the MH somehow or am I going to have to have a new run of 240v cable to a separate socket in the kitchen (similar to what I have already in the living area) and then have to move the appliance plugs from the existing vehicle socket to the new inverter socket when I move between EHU and off grid?

Thanks

Yes this is a good way to do it. Usually a changeover switch is wired in, to switch the sockets between the hookup power and inverter power. The changeover switch can be manual, or could be a relay for automatic changeover. You will also need a manual switch to trun off the inverter when it is not being used - big inverters can have a high no-load drain on the batteries.

Some inverters have a built-in auto-changeover switch. It is important that the switch is a 'break-before-make' type that definitely disconnects one power source before connecting the other one. You don't want two unsynchronised mains voltage waves connected together, even for a fraction of a second.

A manual change over switch would suit me perfectly, Im like to keep things simple where possible. thanks
