Appreciate the info as always, I will be expanding once stock/funding allows, as I was budgeting for the inverter/charge controller, cabling and ancillaries first, then expanding the system. The solar panel model is the JAM60S20 380/MR Mono premium Half-cell black short frame QC4, figures are...

So after our original plan for the house and complete off grid living has gone out the window. We’ve opted for a smaller off grid setup for the garage/workshop. Now due to constraints on available space, workshop side we have had to opt for smaller panels. Current battery setup is 24v 460ah...

It will be primarily as an off grid system, to cover circa 4-6.5kw used per day. If I was only using it to power the freezer in the garage I would have probably used a couple of regular lead acid but I would rather do a complete set up and cover the whole house.

Appreciate the reply didn’t think I could, thought I’d ask since I know they are all ok on the battery health wise, the leisure one has only had one cycle so will come in for something travel wise. Il do some more research as I’ve got a few pieces of kit in mind we also have several...

Yeah it’s completely south facing. Doing the maths for the plot and panel angle it works out for bigger panels up to around 2m height. Just didn’t look that big an area.

Appreciate your input. I’ve had the test panels hooked up to both scc’s without any issue, however on turning off the dc load (not using the terminals so thought no point having them live) for the EPEVER it gave off a lovely high pitched whine whereas the victron didn’t. I can’t stand the noise...

I may well be completely wrong as that was the info I got given ringing up the supplier not the manufacturer as their specs didn’t have a typical c rating. Looking at the data sheet: https://www.yuasa.co.uk/yuasa/datasheet/index/sku/L35-115/ (had to go hunting for it as they are made for a...

Appreciate the advice on the balancers, Il have to pick one up. So far the batteries have kept fairly well balanced in the above config, still need to put the busbars in and sort the wiring, just not had a minute spare ?. Out of curiosity how would you wire in another two batteries to the...

Just as an update, found a local company selling Ja solar 380w panels so going to order 4, just need to sort the inverter, (not sure if to go all in one or separate components) and at least one 100ah battery for now and see how things go. I’ve measured up for a ground based platform with the...

Just out of curiosity any particular reason your not upgrading to the EPEVER 4210AN? I’ve got this and a smaller victron unit but considering either sticking with the bigger 4210an or going dual Victron’s just a tad pricey.

I do apologise, I could have Sworn I replied to your comment. Anyway UK based and location iirc we get an average of 4.1 peak hours of solar irradiance. As say some days will be overcast all day for days on end, others we could have clear blue skies and sun all day just the typical English...
