Just checking back in, so I went with my diagram as above and got everything hooked up, not yet finished but it's coming on.

Ok maybe I was being really naive, but I did some research and this is the wiring diagram I have come up with.

This should help anyone looking for a simple solar only setup.

Hey Mike,

Thank you for replying, I really do appreciate it.

This is the fuse box I bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231588204020?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

So looking at it, it has a point for the power to come in, and then places for fuses, and places to connect the positive terminals for the various devices but I'm not following you with the negative connections -have I bought the wrong one?

This is the switch panel I bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252595250592?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Now, here is really where I'm struggling and I'm a little ashamed.

So how are the lights (for example), the fuse box, and the switch panel interacting together?

Looking at the switch panel, each switch has three connections, and again this is confusing me as surely I only need two?

I appreciate all you're doing bud.

Guys, I need your help, I'm willing to pay someone for advice if needs be.

I am planning my solar setup for the van, it'll be 12v for now, just a very simple setup.

I have pretty much everything I need, but I am a novice when it comes to electrics, I do pick stuff up quickly though so hoping for some advice.

Firstly please look at my diagram, how I have grounded the battery and coming out of the controller, is this correct?

When it comes to the fuse box, how am I wiring this up, I have attached in the diagram the fuse box I'm using, how is this being wired up and then wired into the switch panel?

So on each of the switches on the panel, it has three points, how is all of this being wired up in relation to the fuse box?

This is the bit I'm struggling with.
