I would really appreciate any constructive criticisms / inputs / suggestions for my first system.
I have taught myself the fundamentals in so far and I now feel I have a decent grasp on the terms used in Solar I could use some feedback.
- 4x Roof mounted 270W Trina solar "24v" panels in 2S2P, providing 70V @20A. (6AWG tinned copper cable)
- Victron 100/50 MPPT (Board mounted)
- Victron 24/800 PSW Inverter (Board mounted)
- 3x 2P DC Breakers (40A, 50A & 125A) in 8 way mini consumer unit (Board mounted) Do I need to swap the 50A for a 65A?)
- Victron Smartshunt 500A
- Kepworth 24v/100Ah LiFePo4
- 8AWG leaving the 40A breaker and throughout entire system
- 2.5mm Flex spliced into A/C Breaker from Inverter UK Socket & Plug
- SC10-8 Copper lugs & Heat shrink on Battery & Shunt (Using a cheapo hammer / vice punch for cold welds, seems decent for the price though)
Planning to mount the battery on a shelf on a timber stud wall to reduce cable distance, is this a bad idea? (Will be firmly secured)
Also planning to build an enclosure for the battery out of an ammo case, with pc fan, heat mat and ITC (batt. has no U/T probe) will this be ok?
Thankyou for any input you may have.
