First, my apologies, I know there's a couple threads surrounding this topic, but I'm still unable to find the answers I'm looking for.
I have a shed I'm converting into an office and want to power it off grid, with a AC input for charging batteries
The plan:
- 24V 310AH LifeP04 - Homebuilt - I'll probably have questions about BMS's in the future
- 4x 405W-445W Bifacial panels on a pergola
- And either a Growatt 24V 3000W or MPP LV 2424 MSD... and this is where I have questions...
Questions:
- Which one is better? haha, ok, maybe that isn't as straight forward, so I'll break it down into specific questions
- I've heard that both the MPP and Growatt units are noisy. I've read that while they're very similar, the Growatt might be a little quieter. This unit will be in a 8x12' shed/office, where I plan to be working (desk/computer work). How much am I going to be bothered and which one is actually quieter? I was thinking about placing the unit into the sheds attic, but they're not rated for Canadian winters.
- The MPP is rated for 2400W and the Growatt is 3000W. As of now, the plan is to feed the AC power from either one of these inverters into a subpanel where there are 6 circuits on 15amp breakers. The two hot lugs will be bridged, because neither of these inverters are individually split phase . Based on that, from what an electrician told me, I realistically won't be able to draw more than 1500W total. True? I thought the math was 1800W. If so, then there's no point in upgrading to a 3000W output, correct? I feel like I'm missing something here.? In the shed, i'll probably have 1-2 desktop computers running, with <30W of lights.. but in the winter I plan to run a small crypto mining rig for heat, or find a smaller <750W heater.
- Are there any other all-in-one units I should consider? What's the deal with amazon's PowMR? Worth considering?
- Are there any 24v units with split phase in a single unit? Is that even possible? I've seen a couple 48V's.
- What are the actual differences between LV2424 - LV2424 Hybrid - LV2424 MSD?
