Any suggestions?
Looking mostly at the 24 5000 victron quattro but open to alternatives. Schneider electric looks like it has some good gear. Shore charging is important.
Run various appliances through a killawatt and done an energy audit with the spreadsheet in snoobler's signature https://diysolarforum.com/resources/system-energy-audit-and-sizing-spread-sheet.12/ My current pack will get me about 2 days of backup at estimated use which is fine for me.
This puts me little above 5000 watts continuous suggested by the spreadsheet. I think this is overkill for my actual usage at peak, I'll watch what I run at the same time. It's nice to have a safety margin though.
Despite the benefits of a 48v system, really would like to stick to 24v. The battery pack is already purchased. Have 14.4KWH of 16 cells of EVE 280 and 2 overkill solar 24v 100 amp cont BMS'. Don't think there's more room to shove 16 more of these cells into the project and the redundancy of 2 8 cell packs seems a lot better than 1 48v battery if one of the cells fails.
