Starting to plan out a simple solar / battery home backup to solution to cover essential circuits in the event of outages. Appreciate the help and insight of the experience found here.
My thought is to use the EG4 3k all-in-one, and wire it directly into the power input of this Reliance Controls transfer switch which is a dedicated 120V model. I would go with two EG4 or SOK 48V batteries - just not sure on which would be better. Would also run AC into the inverter from my main panel to handle charing the batteries under normal conditions - I would only plan to connect solar panels if needed during an outage.
Thoughts or comments on this implementation?
I'm concerned with installing this in a Texas garage with the heat of summer. Is that something I should be concerned about? Ideas on ways to better locate the batteries?
Appreciate the help very much.
