Very thorough, clear and detailed system description, thank you. Sensible equipment selection as well. I only see four terminals on your SCC; panel input and battery charge output. Does this mean that your invertor is connected directly to the battery? Also, your lifepo is a 'deep cycle", how so, I thought that the lifepo's in general had pretty much the same discharge specs.? Have you, or do you expect to experience low solar gain periods that will not provide sufficient power to keep your freezer on? ☮️

I updated the main post with the new info.
 
What is the running watts of the freezer on the AC line side?
In 24 Hours if pulls 2 KW(2000w if im converting that right) So I needed 200Ah or more to run it. I was not running it till now we will see how imt handles it.

in 24h it may pull 2KWh... not 2KW... 200Ah would store 2.8KWh if charged to 14.4v
2000W is a draw, not a usage. gotta use the h and make it KWh to be a usage statement.
Ah is a formula based on the battery peak voltage. so, saying you need 200Ah is only helpful to calculate if the charge voltage in included in the sentence.
 
I cant edit the main post anymore.

I added in 4 more 40 ah batteries and 2 MC4 branch connectors so now all 8 panels are up and running. Im now on 420 AH with 800W :cool:
 
I just ordered 4 more 100w panels for $76 each, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM!
