NOTE: As mentioned in the video, the electrical fuseboard is NOT to current regulations; it is a temporary installation allowing us to make this video.
Also, you may have noticed the untidy brown tape on the DC cables. The tape is temporary until the heat shrink is installed.


We made this video to help novice and experienced installers alike. Please note that we detail how WE installed the inverter charger. Your electrical system may be different. Always read the manual and seek expert electrical help if you need it.
