Getting Started FAQs
Q | Where do I start? |
A | The best place to start is to make a list of all the electrical equipment you want to run, the current each item will draw and the cable length needed for each item. This will help you plan your build and you can then use our guides to help you with each stage, such as cable selection, battery charger sizing etc. |

Our Knowledge Centre has lots of helpful articles to guide you and our team will be able to provide support if needed. |
