Solar Newbie
Good day and thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
So I am working my way through Wills book and am in the process of building my first DYI solar system for my detached garage. So far I have already acquired one of the new EG4 3kW Off-Grid Inverter and still need to get a battery and panels. I have been considering one of the EG4-LifePower4 Lithium Batteries as they are made to work with their Inverter and its what I saw Will test in a recent video. However since this is a garage that does not have constant heating and is only heated when being used I was considering one of the Trophy heated batteries. Right now I just want to get started so the plan is a 48v system one inverter, one battery and panels. At some future point maybe a mini split or some other method of heating will be considered. I use a propane heater now when I am in the garage during cold weather. Am I making too much of the heated battery need I live in NJ and we did get some really cold winter days and nights the last couple years here.
