I am jumping right into solar and making my own solar generator. I’m a complete newbie with batteries electronics and electricity. however I have been getting a crash course on Wills videos and feel maybe moderately informed where I should be. Can an expert look at the parts I have already purchased and make sure I didn’t make a 4 figure mistake? Lol
8 catl 310 amp hr lifep04 cells for 24 volts
Overkill solar 100 amp 24 volt bms.
debating to go with the 2000 or 3000 watt Giandel 24 volt pure sine inverter. Bms can only handle 2560 watts. My thinking is do I want to stress the bms or the inverter? What’s ur thoughts? A 2nd bms?
at the moment I have 1.6 kWh of solar panels.
finally I bought this to run an window ac unit the keystone 5000 btu ac seer 12.1 I think max 415 watts continuous? I want to run the ac unit during the summer 24/7. I know the battery bank is the absolute minimum but I’m hoping the unit thermostat will kick off the ac long enough to save battery juice to save it to charge up the next day.
I’m also considering getting a 2nd Everett mppt to charge up at a max 2kwh.
I have breakers and wire and shunt and what not that i am in the process of finalizing the details with.
Side note, I live in an extremely hot environment like Will I live in imperial ca. I plan on putting this into a plastic tool box maybe 50 gallons. I know I need to keep the system cool.
