Only thing I want to do at this point is fuse each battery, but need to regenerate some funds as fuse blocks and fuses are 'spensive. (Also potentially get 3-6 more batteries later)
6x EG4 Lifepower4
EG4 Rack
Communication Hub
Blue Sea Class T fuse holder and fuse
Blue Sea Switch (Mistakenly bought a Spartan Power as it came up on blue sea search, swapped that out as it got warm)
Amomd 400a bus bar (to the right of 2nd battery)
Temco Wires and Terminals
Homemade splitter to have Solark plugged into Solar Assistant and Comm hub.

Fuse Holder, Bus Bar, Comm Hub held in with screw rivets

Closed loop with Solark 15k (This was installed by electricians as part of removing Enphase microinverters and combiners, putting in Tigo optimizers)

As far as I'm aware, this should be up to code should I ever need to get it inspected.

I laughed because you said “for now”. I said the same thing three revisions ago. Batteries and solar panels both fall under More’s Law. If some is good, and more is better, then too much is not enough. Congratulations on your first steps down the rabbit hole.

I already know what modifications I'll do to add in 2nd battery rack...
