First of all wanted to say how thankful I am to those that are willing to give their time.
I have a question/or wanted to confirm some design considerations on buying an All-in-one system vs components .
I'm planning a 7Kw system using 13 550w panels.
I have a 48v battery I'll be using for storage.
So because of placement I have to spread out my panels in 3 areas with very different shade/sun/position characteristics.
Does that pretty much relegate me to buying a separate charger/inverter and solar charge controllers to accommodate the different characteristics of my strings?
FYI I have built a few solar batteries for myself/friends/family so I'm comfortable with the tech and I've been in computers for 30y. That said, the AIOs do hold some attraction for me.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I have an electrician helping me with stuff on back side of the inverter.
I see this question gets asked a lot and I understand it's an "it depends" answer but I haven't found my exact situation posed; or my Google fu is failing me.
Thanks!
