This is my first real solar system setup and i am not sure if i got everything i need and how to hook it all up. If you could please read and see if i am missing anything i would greatly appreciate it.???
On the way i have the following items ordered. They all should arrive in the next few weeks via mail and freight
Battery-
I freight shipped a 48 v power wall from big battery. cost was $1400 Capacity: 3.8kWh
Inverter-
I went to diysolars ebay link and got a pip. 5000w 48vdc 120v/208V/240V Split phase Solar inverter 80A Dual MPPT charger. cost was $1445 with shipping
Solar Panels-
I contacted the used panel link from diysolar and got 8 panels pallet shipped to my town that are 250 watts each. Total solar 2000 watts cost with shipping $503
battery to inverter connections-
I ordered a Anderson SB50 Connectors - SB50 w/ Open leads. Cost was $8
I ordered a selterm marine graded UL listed tinned copper eyelet 8awg to 4/0 awg with 5/16 ring. Cost was $5
I ordered a temco hammer lug crimper tool to install the eyelet. Cost was $20
Solar panel install and wiring-
I ordered windy nation 8 awg guage 80ft solar pannel extention cable wire solar connectors. Cost $107
I ordered renogy 8 sets (4 count each) solar panel mounting Z brackets $70
Total cost $3558
As i am new to this i have a few questions............
are the mounts going to work for these panels?
My biggest fear is i am missing something that i need to order causing my system sits 6 weeks while i wait for one piece. 3.5k is a lot for me. If something needs returned i do not want to get the run around for not returning it as soon as i get it.
I hear from the reviews some of the used panels may not have connector ends? Can i just solder them to the extension cable if no ends are present? Then shrink wrap them
i do not know how to hook up the solar to get the correct volts range into the inverter. Do i wire 4 in parallel and then attach it to the other 4 in parallel? they seem to have a higher voltage than off the shelf panels. keep in mind it is going to a pip lv-5048. Specs for the panel are
Specifications:
Do i need anything else? I would like to get it ordered asap if so. Thanks for taking the time to read. The system is going to run most of my Mobile home and the panels are getting mounted to my overhang room that is 30x12.
pics to come as i get stuff.
