Aloha From Hawaii!
Brand new here and have scanned through looking for info and answered some of my questions. I just want to lay it out here and see what kind of advice I get, and where I need to educate myself and do a bit more research. I am intending to build a 24v set up to go in a chevy express extended van.
Using 8 cells to make a 24v 400 ah battery, Are these BMS's quality enough?
Bms 400A 24v - https://bit.ly/33HyUEQ
400 AH DIY Lifepo4 cells - https://bit.ly/2FKiZh1
800Watts Total Solar 4 x 200 Watt Rich Solar Panels https://amzn.to/32KFnzE
3000Watt Inverter https://amzn.to/35NmfCX
80A Mppt solar charge controller - https://amzn.to/3kuFsxb
I am not well versed with How big of an MPPt solar charge controller I need, is this overkill?
I have tried to research the difference between "24v" and "12v" panels. from my understanding, as long as the combined panel voltage is high enough, the panels can be configured for 24v charging? Guessing its still a better idea to get 24v panels for this setup if they are available?
24v https://amzn.to/32KFnzE VS 12v https://amzn.to/35OuoHd
Has anyone Installed an additional 24v Alternator to charge while driving?
Also links to preferred wiring, Fuse Boxes, ETC.
Am I missing anything?
THanks!!!
