This was for a customer of mine - we wanted to do a trial run to see how effectively we could build a turn-key weatherproof outdoor ESS system. They only purchased 6 batteries but normally we would pre-load all 12 batteries, prewire, test and allow the BMSs to balance everything out. Also, the heat pump heater/coolers aren't shown installed in the doors but there is a cutout for them. I am working on sourcing them but in the meantime there is a filler plate. The rack is fully insulated with flame resistant insulation.
The main panel is 200A rated and has feed through lugs on the busses so this way you could just run a 2" conduit out of the panel straight to your home's load center without needing to add a 200A breaker to the panel. 3/0 AWG L1/L2/N and 6AWG grounding conductor from the Sol-Ark to the panel so it's ready for full 200A passthrough. We also added 2x 20A circuits with GFCI outlets on each (bubble cover on the left) and a NEMA 14-50R for an RV/welder/EV charger hookup.
Solar panels can go on ballasted ground mounts super easy and then just tie into the inverter (or run conduit in the ground for a permanent installation).
Fed with 2xParallel 2/0AWG from the bus bars that run to the batteries to the inverter (Sol-Ark 15k).
What do you guys think?
