How do you add the 3000w inverter. I’m new to all this. How is it wired to the aio?

What are your thoughts on the mpp aio. I also looked at the 1012 but thought I should go bigger. But overall are you satisfied with mpp.

I’m assuming the LV 2424 would be the same? So it allows the batteries to charge but not overcharge. Correct.

I’m looking at getting an AIO to run my off the grid cabin. The cabin is only used on weekends during the spring summer and fall months and completely shut down during the winter. I understand that the AIO uses idle consumption. So my question is since the cabin is only used two or three days a...

What kind of AIO do you have? Thanks

Thanks for the advice.

So your saying this system is worth the money for my needs with some expansion. I don’t see doing much more we go there to get away from the world. But it is nice to have some of the amenities we are accustomed too.

I plan on disconnecting the inverter and batteries in the winter a taking them to my home where they will not but in freezing temps.

That kit comes with a mpp solar unit And two lifePO4 batteries with 10 yr warranty As I price things out separate in the kit Inverter=$650 Batteries =$1100 Panels=960 Total without any wiring is $2710..

That’s why I thought about the 24v system for around $2800. Like the idea of everything come together with this setup. Inverter, battery, panels, cables. Etc. if I ever decide to add more to the cabin like a fridge I would have plenty of watts. Plus if I ever need to run a vacuum or skill saw...

So what is the advantage/disadvantage of 12v or 24 v. For example my cabin is wired like a normal house but fed by generator. Generator feeds a breaker panel. Panel feeds lights and outlets on 3 separate breakers. So in my situation would 12v or 24v be better.? Also looking at watt hours 2 12v...

This version of inverter PIP1012LV-MK In order to get 2000 watts do you buy two and parallel them together. Up to 9. If each unit is around $625. How is that cost effective?

Honestly I’d like to stay on a 12v system. Just wish mpp solar made a little bit larger wattage inverter for 12v as an All In One. Kinda like having everything in one little box plus could run generator through as well. Are their any other options? Would like at least a 2000 w inverter.

Thanks for the input. Still haven’t decided on what to get. Have been thinking about his system and would probably cover everything I have and room for expansion. https://shopsolarkits.com/products/complete-all-in-one-solar-kit-mpp-lv2424-2-400w-120v-24vdc-800-watts-solar-pv-hbk-2
