Hi - I'm trying to plan an off-grid system and have run into a problem with selecting an inverter/charger.
The system needs to handle 22 kWh per day (most days won't need that, but just being safe). I plan on using 48v for everything, with LiFePO4 batteries.
Based on that usage, this site says I'll need 24 x 365 watt panels. My own calculations are roughly the same. A 365 watt panel has a max output of 10.62 amps.
So, 24 panels x 10.62 amps = 254.88 amps. But I can't seem to find a charger/inverter that can handle that many amps. For example, the largest Victron on this page (Quattro 48/10000) can only handle 200 incoming amps (assuming I'm reading this correctly).
What should I do? Thanks!
