Summary
All critical load devices are powered by a 30A supply at 14.6V, backed by a 100Ah LiFePo4 battery with automated switching for seamless transition. Upstream from the fuse block, I’ve installed a Victron Energy SmartShunt for real-time monitoring and load management. Non-critical loads run on a separate 30A supply without battery backup. In the future, I plan to add 1-2kW of solar capacity to extend off-grid runtime.
