Hey guys, first post but have been lurking. Big fan of Will's videos. I've ordered and received my 16x 280AH 3.2v grade A eve cells with busbars from alibaba through Shenzhen UNIS with trade assurance for about 1600$ delivered to my door.
I have also ordered and received 2x overkill solar 100a 8s 24v BMS's
Currently I'm in the process of specking out the rest of the system. I am leaning towards a 2P8S 24v system for redundancy in case one pack fails; cell goes bad, bms goes bad I won't be left stranded without power. Will be doing a lot of boondocking. I plan on putting a minimum of 1000watts of solar on the roof. the 24v setup is capped at a continuous draw of 4800 Watts.
This will be a full time rig. The pack should be large enough to support all electric appliances for a couple of days without access to solar. The conversion will include:
- Mini split for heating and cooling
- induction stove top
- on demand water heater
- microwave/convection/airfryer
- various other kitchen appliances
- Gaming laptop with monitor
- Lighting
- Whatever else I need
I plan on using a 4000 watt inverter, and want grid and generator charging options for cloudy weather or days I can plug in.
Budget for MPPT, inverter/charger, ATS, various other fuses wiring and busbars is about 1500-2500$ Although I don't mind saving money here or expanding the budget if needed. Solar panels will have a separate budget.
I'm hung up on whether or not to build the system with individual components or just taking the easy way out and getting all in one unit. Any input or advice is appreciated.
