Long ago in a state far far away . . . I planned on having 2 SCC due to buying different sized panels. Those SCC would both supply a common bank.
Now, with 32 cells on the horizon (well actually slap-assed opposite the earth) I am reconsidering the permanent location of them and dividing the 2 x 48v banks, each located on either side of the RV from each other. The entire banks would be paralleled, not the cells of the banks. So I'm looking at about 12' min of cable between the locations.
Each bank could have it's own BMS and SCC and ideally I could get 6 of the same exact panels on the roof - 3 per SCC.
Then the two 48v banks would be cabled to a common inverter. A BIG manly inverter. The Binford I-5000 . . .
This is quite literally - load balanced and the weight better distributed in my available spaces without major fabrication work.
Of course there are still a lot of what-if's and could be's, but on the face of it, do you seen any reason this is a bad idea, doesn't work, or proof that my public education just really wasn't what I thought it was?
What say ye?
