Thanks again @Hedges I'm going to take your suggestions and create some concept diagrams and see if it makes sense for my home. -V

@Hedges I like where you're head is. I'm trying to do just that. I guess I was wrong to think that batteries was the solution. I need to think about it in terms of PV now. The only problem I have with PV is permits and safety. I'm kind of clumsy and would fall off the roof haha. I'll think...

In place of those breakers, I have the BMS set to 100A over current protection would that be enough?

@smoothJoey Thanks for the replies. That makes sense. I've decided to make my setup smaller and solve 1 problem at a time. The first problem being the Air Conditioner in the garage. The weather here is HOT and the rates during the day are 0.50 kw and at night its 0.12 I just wanted to be able...

@Hedges That's a really good point that I didn't think about. I will do that by looking into buying more PV of 200-300watt each panels instead of doubling the 100watt panels. Appreciate that useful feedback

Thank you guys for replying. I've only been reading and learning for the past few months, so excuse my inexperience. Thank you for pointing out mistakes. @smoothJoey those AC inverters output aren't tied together. Correct me if I'm wrong but since they go to different loads it should be fine...

I was thinking of building the system with an all-in-one hybrid MPPT 5kw inverter but that didn't seem like enough power for everything. Maybe I needed 2 in parallel? I ended up with this setup because I thought it was more affordable for me and my needs. The attached diagram includes the...

Thank you @svetz I'll read that and make some changes. I'll also make the diagram bigger. I read somewhere you can make the MPPT charge your battery from other DC inputs. Is it possible to just wire in the server power supply into the MPPT? Maybe with a switch to toggle between PV Array and...

I've been reading a lot about battery and BMS from here and the RCGroups. From the wealth of information that I've gathered I've came up with the following setup. I've gathered all parts and haven't completely connected everything yet. The only thing that is connected at the moment are the...
