Altpwr project

The bus runs on 24VDC, and i have ~1200Wp of solar panels installed on the roof of that beast. The house battery bank is 24V/200Ah lead acid, of questionable quality due to old age, but can still power the bus overnight with some capacity left in the morning. The bus is fitted with a 3kVA Victron Multiplus inverter

I plan to use one Victron Orion TR-48-24 to consume from the grid, and one Victron Orion TR-24-48 to provide to the grid. Those DC-DC converters are galvanically isolated, so there would be no risk of accidentally bridging two 230V grids from camp infra (The ground of the bus is connected to the chassis, which is in turn connected to the ground of the shore power plug) via the ground wire.

The transfer switch will be a 3 position switch that will control the soft remote control of the Orion converter, and provide an interlock to prevent both devices from being on at the same time.

Let's see if i can get that hardware in time for MCH2022
