Thank you!

Thank you sir. I made some of the sizing decisions (i.e., Victron 1/0) given that's what it calls for, but I could have read it wrong. Perhaps it meant max size? This is all very good feedback. I appreciate it so much.

Thank you!

Excellent! This is an off-grid cabin. I have the generator wired up currently. Now incorporating the solar plans. Thanks for all this info.

Thank you. This is a stationary off-grid system. I really appreciate all this info.

@Capt Bill - Thank you. @Dzl - That's exactly what i'm asking. I could easily ground the negative bus if that's required.

All - Life distracted me from this project. I now have all these components except for fuses and wires. 1) do i need to ground the panels? 2) do i need a lighntning arrestor on panel combiner box? 3) any critique on my design? Installing memorial day weekend. So pumped.

Hi All - Attached are my plans. Please critique any elements of my design I have purchased all components except fuses and wires. Could use some help understanding if I need to ground my solar panels themselves. I haven't installed anything except for the generator (which has been powering my...

Thanks. Going to start with a pair of 12v battleborns and then add up to 2 maybe 3 more pairs over time as needed. It's a weekend cabin so I'll play it by ear.

Thanks Craig. I'm curious, would you mind sending the components in your setup. I was noticing your profile write up and pic and curious to learn what you have in your installation and how it's working for you. I'm now on the hunt for a pure sine wave inverter charger (thinking 4kw continuous...

Thanks! So it’s that simple, i.e., take daily kw generated by the of array and divide by 24v battery set (2.4kw) to get theoretical amount of set you could charge. Nice. Of course I need to account for my usage/draw vs charging and times when I’d generate more or less than 9kw. Thank you!

Hi all - with a 1.46kw 24v based solar array, what's the max 24v battleborn-based battery bank I can charge assuming 6hrs of sunlight if I draw an average of 5kw per day from the bank? what's the algorithm to figure out that max amp hour battery bank size given these params? BTW theh battleborn...

Thank you

Thank you sir! Edit: I forgot to answer your question. My cabin borders the Gila National Forest in SW New Mexico

Great point. I plan on drawing anywhere from 4kw to 9kw in a day. I plan on generating anywhere from 7.2kw to 9.4kw per day. Does that help?

Great!!! I was hoping I could power both legs without a split phase. I don't and will NEVER use a 240 breaker on such a system. So basically I can jumper the L1 and L2 legs of the panel and feed just one with the inverter. I only have plugs and a apartment size fridge and compact combo washer...

Thanks so much Will. I'm a huge fan of your videos which I discovered this past week. I'll look into a split phase inverter that accepts a generator. As far as budget, I am more concerned with quality/longevity of components and scalability. With these panels, what's the max amount of 12v...

I just got a deal on 4 new 365W (39VMPP, 9.33AMPP) panels for my off-grid cabin. I'm new to this and have some questions. Can you help a brother out? My goal is to buy some components (inverter/charger and charge controller) which will allow me to: Start with minimum 24V Lithium battery bank...
