Hi there first time posting. We have an EPever 5kva hybrid inverter model# UP5000-M10342(PK),which we run 8x200ah gel batteries off but are now wanting to change to lithium. Question is can we run the batteries from our existing EPever system and if so how many batteries would we need ,we’ve been told 4,3 or 2(by 3 people) we are very solar conscious (led lights,only use energy rated appliances,gas oven and cooktop,log fire) we do have starlink internet which is on 24/7,and swan security cameras. We have a 150 watt smart tv which I would say runs anywhere from 2 hours a day up to 8(on the weekends)our water pump is 250watts and is probably used 1 hour a day. Are 2 batteries enough? Also we have 2 different wattage solar arrays (because of an accident) if we replaced them with all the same panel(watts) would we need another MPPT. And how many more panels could we add to the array.
Attached are photos of what we have now.
It was suggested we get a MPPT for the solar array,that’s about $700, but if we buy the same panels that we have for only $300 each wouldn’t that be a better option
