Hello. I'm new to solar and I'm trying to make a simple and cheap system just to power the following:
4 mobile devices
1 laptop
1 fan
4 lights
I decided that the following system will be able to satisfy these needs (please correct me if I'm wrong)
1 12V 100W Solar Panel
12v 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery (I will be making this with prismatic 3.2V 100Ah batteries in series and a 100A BMS)
20amp mppt controller
750W psw inverter
Fusebox
I'm inspired by the basic 12V BMS Protected LiFePO4 System here on the website but when I check the other systems (like the diy solar generator), a battery protect, circuit breakers, etc. were being added and it's confusing me on what I really need to properly take care of the system.
Did I size everything correctly? To maximize the system, do I need to increase or decrease anything? How do I connect the BMS to the fusebox because the wire gauge is different? The fusebox I find online only has one main port and not the ones in the video. I'm also concerned about the temperature because I live in a tropical climate. If I wanna add another solar panel then do I do it in parallel or series?
I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
