Made a little progress this morning

Made a little progress this morning... Got the inverters hung, got the new (to me) breaker box hung... And cut down some really strong wire racks to use as battery and miscellaneous shelving

That is going to be a loud room.

Good thing nobody will be in there huh.
. Lol

Luckily it's a shed that's about 40 or 50 ft away from the actual house

I went through an insulated everything... Eventually I will be adding a small air inverter air conditioner as well as some type of heat... I may just use a diesel heater.. But I imagine with it being such a small, insulated space that the heat of the inverters and batteries charging should be more than enough to keep it warm in the winter

Awesome, Sounds like a great plan and a good start.
What size of battery bank are you putting in service?

Why is there a large breaker box in the shed?
Why wouldnt you run some service cables to the house and put the breaker box in the house?

I can already hear the 4 inverters doing their beep countdown when you turn them on

To answer the first question I will have a 16S, 280 amp hour, Eve cells with a 200 amp BMS and a 16s, 304 amp hour, Eve cells with a 200 amp BMS

So the plan is to use a 50 amp double throw breaker for each pair of inverters... This will bring them together inside the box and put them on a common bus...

From there I will feed power out through the main breaker to 2/0 triplex direct burial cable and run that into the main breaker of the house... The house is not and never will be on grid power so this solution is not an issue

Additionally the breaker box is not actually as large as it appears... The box is actually a three-phase box so I will be skipping every third slot in the box

All sounds well thought out and a great plan.

Thank you... It took a little while for me to figure out exactly how I wanted to bring everything together and have it actually be clean... I figured this gives me individual protection for each inverter and overall it should just be a good setup... I'm going to try using 50 amp breakers cuz that's what I already have... But I might move up to 60 amp breakers as these units can theoretically put out 55 amps at 120 volts that that
