Ok just signed up here and glad to be here, I have been wanting solar for a good long while and have finally started pulling the trigger on some parts to a system. I have almost everything I need and ready to start hooking up soon and I just want to make sure I am wiring correctly.
This will be a moderately temporary system. Well let me give a little more background first, I have 4 off grid cabins on 10 acres and have been powering everything through generators for quite a long time. I’m tired of hauling fuel and filling cans.
So back to this system, I have decided to get my feet wet on my cabin 3 to replace a 2k watt generator, highest load devices would be 1000 watt microwave or vacuum cleaner. It also has a tv, fan, and small propane / electric refrigerator. It is heated with an oil drip non electric stove.
Ultimately I intend to have all 4 cabins on their own individual systems this is just my starter set up for a single cabin.
Ok back to the system
4 x 250 watt solar panels trina solar
4 x 12v group 31 deep cycle Duracell
1 mppt 24v charge controller epever model4210
Need input on 24v inverter
I had a 1000 watt inverter already someone gave me but it’s only 12v and I’m committed to 24v system so I will buy a new inverter. I was looking for input on what wattage and brand I should buy for the system.
I intend on hooking up the batteries series parallel as per diagram below.
I will try to attach a diagram, sorry for my bad handwriting.
