Hello Folks,
I'm looking for some feedback regarding if I should replace my existing 12V setup with another 12V setup (keeping my batteries) or starting fresh with 48V. The key concerns are budget and longevity.
Planned Equipment (regardless of voltage):
Tentative 12V Setup: $1389, 5.76kWh
Analysis:
I'm looking for some feedback regarding if I should replace my existing 12V setup with another 12V setup (keeping my batteries) or starting fresh with 48V. The key concerns are budget and longevity.
Planned Equipment (regardless of voltage):
- Solar Input = 500W, no room for additional
- MPPT = Victron 150/35
- Other = Victron Cerbo GX
Tentative 12V Setup: $1389, 5.76kWh
- $0 (Sunk Cost) ==> (1) 12V 280Ah LFP EcoWorthy Battery (Not Self-Heating)
- $800 = Victron Multiplus 2kVA 12V 120Vac Inverter
- Plan would be to add (1) extra battery, preferably self-heating, and increase the storage capacity
- $589 = SGP 200Ah Self-Heating (link) = Best deal I can find right now
- or DIY ???
- $824 = Victron Multiplus 2kVA 48V 120Vac Inverter
- (2) x $650 = Renogy 50Ah Self-Heating (link) ~= 4.8kWh
- or DIY ???
Analysis:
- Unless I'm missing something, the analysis shows I should go for the 12V setup.
- I think this makes sense especially since it's such a small system
- Otherwise, DIY Battery would make the most sense, but that's a lot to play with
- ==> Does the forum agree?
- I have a crapton of parts in my cart at Current Connected.
- Does anyone have a coupon code? Free shipping? Anything?
