Thanks Ben - from what I’ve heard though, I expect they are still too much for our setting. I really need something with zero noise from the charger, and fans only running when the temp warrants it or when inverter load exceeds a modest threshold.
If the system could work with no fans running in charge only mode (like the Victron SmartSolar MPPT’s, or when you are running 50 watts of light bulbs, only coming on during heavy loads like many import standalone inverters do, then I would order the 3k and a rack battery right now, but it doesn’t sound like this is possible with this system.
I considered building an outdoor box for it, but our low temps in winter go well below the specs listed for the Eg4, and combining insulation in winter with suitable ventilation in summer has been a challenge to economically address.
