So I bought an off grid lake property, cottage is wired for 120V AC and is run by a small solar array ( not sure of the config but 2x 150w and 2x 90w ). The battery bank is 8 6v FLA's that are over 10 years old and won't hold charge. There is Pro Star PS 30 Charge controller, Iota DLS 55/IQ4 charger, and a pro watt 1500 inverter, Iota ITS 30R transfer switch and a distribution box. For back up there's a Honda Eu 3000is.
I would like to keep with the 48 volt system, and my daily requirements add up to roughly 4.4kw. I have purchased 4 sok 12V 206 Ah batteries for my bank. I'm thinking I'll need a new MPPT and I'd like a larger inverter as well. I was checking out the Victron Multi Plus 2 48/3000/35 as an all in one approach to the upgrade.
I'm pretty sure I'd need to upgrade my array as well but would like to get the system up and running first before I do that.
This system would be in service approximately 8 months of the year with winter use largely by generator only so batts would come home to store.
I am totally new and looking for input. Am I missing info? is this practical? Should I seek professional advice?
