    MPPSolar & AC Charging?

    Planning stages - BMS & Inverter compatability?

    Hi all, I'm planning to build a 16S 48V bank with 280Ah Lifepo4 cells. The setup is for a remote property (4hr drive) and will need to be somewhat mobile (excluding panels, worried about theft). The biggest drain will be intermittent power tool usage <2400W. Everything else will be far, far...
