I’ve purchased all the large components and need help hooking it all up. Here is the parts list I have put together. Can someone tell me if I’m missing things, what to call the things when I search for them, or where to source them quickly. This generator life is killing my wallet. I will gladly PayPal or Venmo someone that can help me out together an Amazon order with everything I need. I’m desperate.
I believe I need 10ft of 4/0 for wiring my (2) 12.8v 206ah SOK batteries in series and then wiring that in parallel to my 24v 200ah ampere time battery to create a 24v 406ah battery bank. Is that correct? And then I need 4/0 to go from the battery bank to a bus bar? What kind of lugs do I need here?
I also believe I’ll need around 10ft of 6awg to go from the bus bar to the charge controller. What kind of lugs do I need here, what are they called?
My inverter came with pre lugged wire to go from the bus bar to the inverter. I just plan to use that.
Where can I get a fuse holder or something to protect in between each component? What’s the easiest method to protect equipment and how do I determine the size of the fuse. My panels should never put out more than 70a so is a 70a fuse okay for in between the panels and charge controller? Or is it even necessary with my victron 250-70 charge controller?
What about a fuse for in between the battery to the bus bar? Or a fuse between the bus bar and the inverter or between the bus bar and the charge controller? are those necessary and what size will I need?
Also, can I buy 100ft of preconnected mc4 to mc4 cable? Or what kind of cable do I buy if I have ti out the connectors on myself. My ground array will be 100ft away or less. Open to suggestion if that’s too long.
Also, I have 4 325w panels that need ti connect in series. They each have a positive and negative mc4. I suppose I need 4 t splices that will allow me to connect them in series and eventually to my long run from the array to the charge controller? What are these called and do I only need 4, 1 for In between each panel?
I will literally PayPal $50 to someone that can help me put together a parts list and get me rolling.
Also, will hand crimpers work or will I need hydraulic crimpers? what other tools, components, or parts do you see me needing? I’d love to make one Amazon order with all components and tools necessary. Thanks in advanced for all your help whoever you are kind soul!
