HalfBaked
Ever the student
Longtime lurker, finally made an account.
I will begin just to express my gratitude for finding this community. Most everything worthwhile solar diy related came from reading here.
I have built what I intended to be an offgrid home that makes sense. It took me many years to build, meanwhile I bought a small second-hand solar setup about 4 years ago. 4 6v lifeline 300ah agms wired 2s2p for 600ah 12v and 300w panels, which I have upgraded to 3 strategic arrays totalling 3000w, strongly overpanelling my tsmppt60.
After enough completion of the dwelling, we moved in. It's been 3 months and now I can see we are extremely tight on making the solar work. A few mornings, like today, we wake up to the beeps of our plug-in CO/gas alarms telling me the power went out.
Enough rambling with backstory. I'm thinking about getting 1 (cuz poor) eg4 100ah 48v and getting a 48v inverter or aio. Looking for confirmation that this would take me from 600ahX12v=3600whX50%=1800wh
To 100ahx48v=4800whX80%=3840wh?
Over double my current system?
Follow up Q:
If this is correct, is it a problem to add more of these batteries later, like 1 per year?
Thank you for your time.
