After purchasing the 6000XP and 4000 watts of panels (10) in a single string with one LL_S battery, I have since bought another two LL_S batteries. I have a 300 to 500 watt load on the system that drops the (3) LL_S batteries to about 50-60% SOC every morning and reaches 100% charge by 11:00 ish. I purchased a transfer switch to utilize the afternoon power, have not completed the install. I have also purchased the EG4 mini split that draws 600 watts and have installed it yet either. (Building a 300 square foot addition keeping me busy)
Should I be looking at batteries, or a second string of panels?
What is the best use of the SOC in a 24 hour period? Attempt to pull it down to 20% as the sun rises?
With the additon of the Mini Split, will (3) LL-S batteries carry it overnight in summer/winter?
What are the common stategies among veteran users of solar? I am 6 months into the process and will install the minisplit and transfer switch to analize the affects before my next expansion purchase.
Thank you all for any opinions!
