I would like to add my $0.02 to this thread.
Personally I have been on an ever expanding solar journey for the past six years and have a similar off-grid needs as the OP.
Plenty of bad choices, expensive choices, along the way. I upgraded my system last year with a 24volt Victron Multi-Plus and it is a fantastic piece of kit that does everything it's supposed to. An excellent choice for off grid use. But knowing what I do now I should have gone straight to 48volt right off the get. Don't get me wrong the 24V setup will get the job done but its just better if you have the cash to go straight to 48V.
Get a 100ah 48volt battery to start out and if you decide you need more it is easily expanded.
Right now the price of panels is way down, the price of LFP batteries is down and Victron has recently dropped their prices. A great time to assemble a new system.
You are getting excellent advise here in this thread from all the posters above. Current Connected are a perfect source for the newbie.
Good luck and happy harvest!
