I bought 4 - (will be 6 shortly) - EG4LL (v2) 48v batteries w/rack and a 6500EX-48 inverter.
In future there will be 2 inverters for 240, but for now just a 1 inverter system is the plan.
It's off-grid house backup for outages for now and will add solar.
Signature solar just told me "For the EG4 6500W inverter, we recommend 1awg battery to inverter cables"
- I look at will's blueprint and he has 4/0 and 2/0 battery to inverter cables.
Will's is a 240v 2-inverter system, with 2 sets of batteries apparently connected, so that may be the difference, and 1 or 2 awg is sufficient for me; but I don't know.
I'm reluctant to oversize now for a future 2nd inverter/more batteries as that seems the wrong thing to do, and of course don't want to undersize either.
Please advise. thank you for your help

48V Offgrid Solar Power System
If you wish to build the ultimate offgrid solar power system, look no further: All-in-one units make setup a breeze. Each unit has it's own Inverter, MPPT, Transfer Switch and Battery Charger. Budget...
