Thanks again. I really appreciate you assistance. I'll post when I get it installed

Thank you !! So: (3000/24/.90) X 1.25 = 173.6 Would a 175A fuse work or should I go larger ? 2/0 cable for the battery connections together and to the inverter. The batteries are Renogy 12V 200AH AGM

The plan: 24 volt system Solar panels 37.6 Open circuit voltage 8.39 amps. 6 panels wired in series parallel = 112.8 V and 16.78 A Growatt 3000 Max PV input 145 VDC 2 12v 200 ah batts wired in series 24 x 200 = 4800 ah 4800 ah / 2 = 2400 usable. I think I’m down to a DC circuit breaker...

Looks like I've got most of the components. The plan: 24 volt system Solar panels 37.6 Open circuit voltage 8.39 amps. 6 panels wired in series parallel = 112.8 V and 16.78 A Growatt 3000 Max PV input 145 VDC 2 12v 200 ah batteries wired in series 24 x 200 = 4800 ah 4800 ah / 2 = 2400...

Thank you. I'll get into the manual and let you know what I learn about the charge rate.

The batteries are (2) Renogy 12v 200 AH for 4800 W. I was concerned about the charge rate. I will take a look at the charge rates. I just saw that on a video. Lot's of things to consider...

OK I did a little research and I like the 3s2p array design. That will give me approx 1500 w array. 113 volts which works with the Growatt and the 2 200 AH AGM's providing 2400 w usable should manage my loads. Battery recharge rate of 1.6 hours. The growatt will also allow me to add...

Sounds like I will start out with 3 in series. That will give us a recharge time of 3.2 hours I have never used series and parallel together. I'll have to do more research on that.

Here is the data on the solar panels: I'd like to oversize the array. You stated 3 in series. Can I use 4 or more in series ? You've really enabled me to move this forward. My plan is to purchase one 3000w Growatt 2 12v 200 ah Renogy AGM's wired in series. and #____of my solar panels...

Yes the micro inverters can be unplugged. The panels are rated at 29.8V and 8.39 Amps 250W. With the output voltage of 29.8 do I need to wire the panels in series ? The battery link takes you to the 100 AH battery; But if you look under the price they have an option for the 200 AH battery...

Watched the video on the 24 volt system. I already have the solar panels. This seems like a pretty solid option. Does this make sense ? LV 2424 - $891.00...

Thanks, I'll develop a list and post it for comment.

Thank you very much. I'll start collecting materials and get her built. I will reach back out when complete. Your help is greatly appreciated.

OK so the micro inverters won't be used off grid. That's correct the 4.2 is peak kw Switching to LED lighting is a great idea. Thank you. So stick with 12v 4-5 250 watt panels AGM 12v 200ah battery ( would a lithium 12v 100ah battery be comparable ) 1000/12 = 83.33 amps charge controller ...

Hello. First time posting. Just retired from the Navy and have been working on isolating my 3,000 sq ft greenhouse from the grid. Located in San Diego, CA. I have the last twelve months of power bill but that includes a well pump that won't be part of this system. Also I would like to...
