I'm designing my first solar power system. I have the solar panels already (found a good price on them locally), but haven't purchased anything else yet. Could I get some feedback on the diagram below? Do the parts I'm choosing look reasonable and properly specced?
This would be for an in-house system. Half interested in just playing around, half in keeping essentials running during a power outage. In the latter scenario, I could dramatically cut back on water use and turn off the toys, to keep the freezer going. The freezer is out on the back porch, where it will need more power in summer than winter.
I like the ElectroDacus and the idea of being able to add more panels affordably using it, but I think the voltage on the CS3U-355PB panels is too high to make using the DSSR20 reasonable for them. Is the SmartSolar MPPT Tr 150V 60A a good choice here?
My thought with the battery charger is that I'd like the system to be usable in a power outage that comes after a few cloudy days.
I was leaning towards the EVE 230s because they were priced very reasonably at powerwholesale.net, but then registration wasn't working on their website, there were email issues, and I was told credit card payments are blocked, which is making me uneasy.
