I really like the new powerpro battery..

EG4 MPPT 100-48HV: $399/55= $7.98/Kw

"40A Battey Charger" "$513.59"

40A x 48V = 1920W.
$513.59/1920W = $267/kW

That's why I buy Sunny Boy GT PV inverters (new old stock where possible).
I like to pay $500 for a 5kW model. $100/kW (only processes PV DC to AC, my battery inverter separately converts AC to battery DC. Or, I use the AC directly, e.g. power air conditioner. Only what I don't use has to go to battery.)

My Bad,
Victron 250/100 is max 5.8kW
$613/5.8kW = $105.70/kW

$520/40=$13

Thanks. I'm missing how you did the calculation.
You also get the 5kw AC output.

To bad it weren't waterproof, slap it and a power pro on a heavy duty handcart and you'd have one heck of a portable setup.

What's this come out to?

Looking up the specs for the EG4 MPPT 100-48, I see max 5500W output, ie 5.5kW
so the math is $399/5.5 = $72.55/kW unless I am missing something. (still the best deal per kW I have seen)

Seems to me the 250/100 is best "bang for charging buck" ? No?
150/100: $517/15 = $34.47/kW
250/100: $613/25 = $24.52/kW
450/100: $1230/45 = $27.33/kW

higher voltage may also mean smaller ga. cable run that would affect the total cost per option, especially important on long cable lengths.

They all have the same max 100A output, so 5400W at 54V. The 250/100 is a good balance bumping you up from three to five 40V panels per string. So going from say 900W to 1500W per, three strings for 4500W. The 450/100 you could do ten per string and 3000W, two strings and 6000W, light over panelling. At double the cost per kW on the SCC end.

Will definitely work.
May not communicate, if that's a concern.

Both SS and CURRENT CONNECTED told me that. Kinda glad they did, I bought a Ruixu battery rack instead. My back hurts enuff from moving 100lb. batteries, a 300lb. unit sounds deadly.

My solar panels are under 50lbs.
The next heaviest thing in my system is 27lbs.
This is on purpose, because I'm not getting any younger.

Yeah it has to be best deal currently for dedicated mppt

I was just doing the calculation the same, apples to apples.

You also get the 5kw AC output.

"Gadget Blue" no less - perfect name!

If I can't afford Victon, Blue spray paint is a low cost option!

 

[FilterGuy]

I don't like the Victron Blue color, but I have to admit that when I see a wall of blue, I see a willingness to spend money on good equipment and most likely a very solid system. Weather intended or not, the Victron Blue Market branding is working well for them.

I've liked the color for over 40 years. Notice the color in these machines? Hah. If you've ever played baseball in the US at any level, you probably recognize these: https://jugssports.com/pitching-machines/
