Hi, I am new to the site and to solar. I just finished phase 1 to my solar project. 4, 305 watt panels, EPever 40 amp solar controller, MT50 programmer, Giendel 4000-8000 watt pure sine wave inverter, 2- 100 amp Battleborn batteries in series for 24 volt feed. This is hooked up to my house panel via an emergency transfer switch made for a generator. Currently running 5 circuits in the home master bathroom and closets, master bedroom lights and TV, living room circuit with TV kitchen lights and patio lights, kitchen fridge, and microwave circuit. Been running 24/7 for a week with no problems. Luckily we have had sun every day. Just ordered components to mirror the one the setup I just installed to run another 5 circuits. One circuit will be changed to a 220 circuit to feed our well pump. Hope this works. All in all very pleased. Inverter is a beast. Has no problem all all with the first loads attached. Turned everything possible on with those circuits and it maxed out at 3200 watts with everything running, not just on. The two Battle born Batteries worked flawless. Pricy but worth the money. Will let you know what happens when I finish phase 2.
