Hi everyone. Just joined this forum. So excited to continue my education.
Just starting my solar journey. Spent all last week going down the rabbit hole to try and educate myself.
Because I live in Vegas and it's freaking hot decided on a 24v system so I can run a portable AC unit.
Already ordered two 12v 100ah LiTime batteries that I will put in series. Originally was looking at the MPP 2724 because I've seen it in a few of Will's videos. But I've heard concerns it is really, really loud. It will be in my living space so that's a definite concern.
Are there any other alternatives I could consider to the MPP that won't break the bank? btw, I found the MPP at an MPP reseller for $391 out the door so I think that's a pretty good price.
The reason I was trying to put together a system with and all-in-one inverter/controller is because I have zero solar and zero electrical experience so was just trying to make it a simple as possible. But didn't want to buy a "power station" like EcoFlow or Anker because I think this would be an invaluable skill to learn. But to go with all separate components scares me a little.
What do you guys think? Am I on the right path?
oh, if anyone needs the MPP specs they are here: https://maximumsolar.online/product/pip2724lv-mr/
====================================================
UPDATE 04/15/24: Thanks you guys for all your comments, advice and help!
Between the MidNite and Growatt which do you think will have quieter operation? It will be in my living space most of the time, so noise is a definite consideration
