I am a beginner who is wanting to build their first solar setup. I would like some feedback after drawing a schematic.

Do you have an update schematic with the updates you made? I'm starting on almost identical, except mine will be 24V.

I do not, unfortunately. I abandoned my idea for a 12V system and am planning on using 48V. I have a separate post with a different, updated schematic on that post if you'd like to take a gander.

I was planning on splurging and getting Klein crimpers/wire strippers and a Temco hammer crimper for the larger AWG cables.

Fellow newbie here.

I went with a Chinese 12-ton $70 hydraulic crimper off Amazon and now wish I had put that money towards the Temco hydraulic crimper (https://temcoindustrial.com/th0005-...erminal-cable-wire-tool-kit-with-32-die-sets/) recommended in the thread I started regarding crimping problems with large cables and Anderson connectors: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/a...imping-large-anderson-sb175-connectors.84019/

I think the advice to purchase premade cables is very sound based on my initial experience. For a few cables needed immediately, and until you see yourself needing many more cables constructed, I'd go with premade ones.
