@Samsonite801 - I was looking at the 3000EHV-48 ($674) either that, or using Victron components to piece together a system. I'd likely be using 6x 250w New Powa panels (1500 w total). I used the calculator on explorist.life's site, and it's showing array voltage would be around 205v, with...

Thank you! from what I can tell, the victron mppt will turn on once the voltage is 5 above the battery voltage, so around 53 on a 48v system. the EG4 all in one doesn't turn on until 120v? makes me wonder why I would go that route other than the significant lower price.

is there a way to tell the voltage required for the MPPT to start operating? asking about on 48v. I believe in one of Will's videos, he states it requires 100 or 120v for the batteries to start charging. would this be the same requirement on a victron charge controller?

wow I cannot believe all the replies in less than a day. I can tell this community is going to be great for this new adventure of learning solar. Hopefully one day I'll be able to contribute more.. I think I'll be able to squeeze 6x 250w panels to start, and possibly add a 400w suitcase...

New to the forum and already learned a ton just by browsing. I wanted to get the expert's opinions on which route to take while adding lithium batteries to my travel trailer. I'm considering going 48v because I've read that it would be more efficient than 12v, however my trailer already does...

newbie question here. does the voltage remain the same on the solar array, or does it drop depending on how much power they are producing? I'm currently deciding between a 12v system on my travel trailer, or going 48v. I believe I can fit 6x 250w panels up top, VOC being 27.28 per panel...
