Currently I have an off grid cabin that I power with a 3100 watt inverter generator. I want to switch to battery and solar with generator standby. I just ordered the MidNite Solar DIY series MN3024DIY inverter charger, I Have 4 Lifeline GPL-6CT AGM batteries, I am this is going to be a 24 volt system, I would like to find out the size of breakers and fuses I would need as well as cable size. Location of fuses and breakers would also help me.
Right now I am going to run off the batteries and use the generator to charge batteries and run bigger stuff while I work on cabin like saws and such, Then mid to late summer add solar panels to the system.
Any recommendations as to design or equiptment needed ( fuses , wires and such) would be greatly appreciated. I will post links to the batteries and inverter that shows specs.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give me.
If I turned on every light and appliance in the cabin I would have a total of 1380 watts I would be using , this would include the microwave and mini fridge.
