Hi everybody:
I'm not working with Photovoltaic in my day to day work, so I would be grateful if you could help me to validate my set up or give any advice you consider.
I'm planning to install an off-grid Photovoltaic system with LiFEPo4 batteries. The main blocks are these:
Solar capture:
6 x 24V solar panels connected as 2S3P to get 48V and 2700Wp.
Accumulation:
A pack 16S1P of 3,2V LiFePo4 50Ah batteries. Resulting on a global spec of: 50Ah, 2560Wh, 48V.
A BMS device to work on 48V and 100A charge/discharge currents.
Inverter:
Growatt 3500-80A (48V) with embedded MPPT charger to provide 3500W on output.
I would connect the panels to PV input, while the internal MPPT controls the charge of the battery pack (through "battery input") and the BMS manages the pack itself. Please, find a general scheme to illustrate it below.
My questions:
Will I burn down the house with this set up?
Would you add any additional protection?
Is in general a good balance for panels/accumulation/load?
Will the BMS and internal MPPT work well together?
The bill of materials links I would purchase for implementing the above set up:
LiFePo4 batteries
JK BMS
Growatt 3500-80A
Thanks in advance!
