I currently have a 24v Off-grid System. Battery bank is 24v Rolls FLA and it is about 9 years old. Getting Cloudy up here this time of year and the generator is running more than usual. I have a FM60 Outback Controller and an FX2024 Outback Inverter. I definitely plan on going LiFePO4 for the new battery bank and I'm leaning toward the SOK Brand. And I'm fairly certain I can use my current FM60 Controller for a 48v System. But my big question is should I stay loyal to "Outback" for the new 48v Inverter (since I already have the FM60 Controller), or are there better options out there. I'm not married to Outback, but they seemed to have performed well over the past 9 years, so that has built some loyalty on my part.
I know I will also probably have to upgrade to the Mate3S, as well if I go 48v. Outside of the LiFePO4 battery bank, we are probably looking at $2500 minimum for the 48v Outback Inverter and new Mate3S. I'm not sure what is the most logical path at this point. Stick with 24volts on the SOK battery bank since I already have the Controller and Inverter set up for 24v? Or go all in, and purchase the new Inverter and Mate3S with the 48v Battery Bank?
Open to all input and options. Thanks everyone in advance.
