I'm interested in learning how to do this kind of work. I ultimately plan to install it in a van or trailer, but I'm thinking of starting with some kind of portable solar system to use while camping. Do you have any recommendations for resources to learn about these types of systems?
Renogy is a popular brand for solar systems, and they have some great resources. Also lots of YouTube vids that walk through solar installation on RVs and vans. Once you know what you need (panels, charge controller, batteries, inverter), it starts to come together pretty quickly. I’d just make sure to scope out your typical watt usage so that you size the system to what you need. For me, I can run everything for a remote work setup _except_ the air conditioner and things like the microwave (I’m on a 800W system with 200ah of battery). My fridge can run on propane, otherwise that would be a non-starter for off-the-grid remote life/work.
