This is what I have in mind for my system, I have attatched my design, note, I havent drawn the plans for ground, but I believe connecting all the elements to a common ground will do the trick, right?
What I have so far is:
-Victron BlueSolar 100/50 MPPT
-Victron Multiplus Compact 24/2000/50-30 230v
-OverKillSolar 8s 100a BMS
-8X VariCore 3.2V 280Ah lifepo4 battery
What I need is:
-Solar Panels.. I'm thinking JA Solar 450w, but I'm wondering if 2 in series (VOC 49.70) will be too much for the MPPT?
-DC Fuse/Breaker 120 amp+ from Battery bank to Multiplus (positive)
-DC Fuse/Breaker 30 amp+ from Battery bank to MPPT (positive)
-Cables
-Earth spike
-Positive and Negative Busbars
What I think I should get is:
-VE Direct Bluetooh SmartDongle (to configure MPPT)
-Interface MK3-USB (to configure Multiplus)
What I hope I don't need:
-Shunt
So my queries are..
-Solar Panels- If I went 2S2P with the 450W, would the voltage be too high for the MPPT
-Is there any device that would allow me to configure settings for both Multiplus and BlueSolar MPPT
-Is the LiFePo setting on the MPPT good enough to keep my batteries protected or will I need a Smart Dongle if I want to make them last?
-Shunt- As long as I configure everything correctly, is there a need for one or would it just help me see the SOC
-Any advice or recommendations are appreciated, do you see any problems with my proposed system
TIA
