An update on assembly of my solar power wall in my MCI bus.
I have configured my power wall that contains the SCC, Inverter, bus bars, DC converter (24 to 12vdc), 12v fuse block, in-line dc fuses and the three on/off switches for the solar power, scc power and inverter power.
In the course of planning and executing the cabling, I realized my 3000watt Aims inverter/charger does not suit my inverter and AC power needs. I am replacing with a 6000watt Aims inverter/charger. I will have 240v AC input and 120v/240v AC output. The new inverter will handle the automatic transfer between shore/gen and inverter power to satisfy the load. It can also charge the lithium battery bank when powered by shore/gen if needed. Primary charger for the lifepo4 will be the Aims MPPT Solar Charge Controller (SCC).
In the current picture shown, the 3000watt inverter is on the right. It will be removed and the 6000watt inverter will occupy the space where the manual rotary 64AMP DC switch box is on the left. This will optimize space and automate power management.
I am building a 3-shelf battery enclosure that will be attached to the wall that joins/corners with the solar power wall. It will house up to three, 24v, 100ah lifepo4 battery packs. I will have second 24v pack this week and the enclosure will have 'barn doors' that I can open to access each shelf. The shelf will be just a few feet from the bus bars and inverter so my 4gauge TEMco cables will have short, equal-length cables to support proper balancing. Each pack will have 4gauge cable that runs to the 250amp bus bars pictured. My two packs will be paralleled to produce 24v and 200ah (4.8Kw).
The white plastic box will have the AC and DC monitor panels that I bought for under $25 each. I will also have the Victron Monitor with the iPhone app.
I have purchased my superstrut rails (4, 10-foot 1 5/8 rails) and associated L-brackets. I have the rivet nuts and tool for install. I will be purchasing the attaching hardware and starting mockup and install of the rails after October when the hot Florida temperatures pass.
