Catch, make or grow everything you can.
Well ya just never know i guess!, at least the system can handle a hair dryer! - good to hear your system can handle the jet pump. Do you know the Hp rating on your pump? mine is only 1/3Hp and I am expecting to be able to start it.I am able to run my jet pump without any issues. Also runs my entire cabin with basic lights, outlets, a lcd tv and dvd player. It has also run my wife's 1500w hair dryer for those occasions she really needs her hair to look good in the woods!
I did consider the Growatt, and the very similar MPP Solar 3048 as these can be expanded with parallel units, and upgrade to 120/240 easily too.
In the end I chose the MPP 2724 (which does NOT support parallel inverters) based on it meeting my needs, lower cost, and since I already have twin MPP 6048's in my shop I felt confident in MPP's equipment. {there are some commentors that believe Growatt and MPP are made by the same factory, but I am not sure if this is true}
Playing with the 2724 and an undersized battery (all that I have until the 280Ahr cells arrive) I can report that the 2724 and the small battery has run everything I can throw at it around my pasture including angle grinder, drills, large electric impact & lights. The unit fits in a rack I have on the rear of my ATV so I can literally drive along the fence line, and run tools anywhere -even a 1000 feet from my nearest outlets - and pull out a grinder and cut steel using the small inverter and a battery alone in the ATV. very handy I have to say.
I believe I made one error when I ordered the 8S BMS for this set up - I assumed 100A would be sufficient, but the MPP specs list being able to handle up to 123A, I sould have ordered a 125 or 150 BMS, since the 280Ah cells can take that amperage draw, and the MPP will cut out if I exceed the 123A for too long. Darn. Should have read the specs more closely before ordering the 8S BMS.
