Here's the latest diagram. - I added an Automatic Transfer Unit for connecting to shore power. - I increased the fuse in front of the inverter to 200A - I added a 4th PV panel - I added my controls for the water heating setup

Well I can't seem to find a low power thermostat, so I think I will go the DIY route. I will likely use a raspberry pi (since I'm using this anyway to log the Electrodacus data). This way I can use a one-wire DS18B20 and 4 generic 5v relays. I may include an LCD that I can turn on and off to get...

I intend to have a 24v battery system (8s3p). I will have a 24>12 converter (as shown), so that is an option too. The panels have Vmpp of 33.3v, and Impp of 9.46A as per the documentation. Remember that I have 2 panels in parallel for every DSSR20, so the effective I will be 18.92A. I was...

This is quite a point of contention for most. The SBMS0 does not have a low-temperature cut-off (no thermometer). In any case, I would be using the temperature reading in a different way. I need to measure the temperature of the water and set a high-temperature cuttoff.

This thermometer is 24v and seems to have approximately 19mA / 50mA (456mW / 1.2W) consumption when the relay is open / closed respectively. https://www.banggood.com/XY-WT01-Digital-Thermostat-Switch-Display-Temperature-Controller-Module-Cooling-Heating-6V12V24V-Adjustable-p-1477048.html I...

I guess I need a thermostat too. Any ideas for a 12/24v low-consumption thermostat with a relay to engage/cut power to my heaters? Most that I have found are 12v/20A like this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Temperature-Control-Switch-Thermostat-Thermometer/dp/B00Q6WQJ2O The panels that I am...

I figure I'll be running something in the neighborhood of 10G tank (this will be an RV setup). The nice things about the Electrodaccus setup is that it is fairly scalable, so I can add PV panels two at a time.

Here is the first iteration of my concept for solar and water heating (i.e. component and wiring diagram). I am posting it here to get constructive comments and a bit of help selecting a water heating element. Note: red lines typically connect positives, and negative lines typically connect...
