Hello everyone!
I have been reading this forum, and it has been a great source of knowledge. Thank you all for sharing.
I have been designing a PV (Photovoltaic) system for my country house. I have extensive knowledge of electronics, but some power aspects are challenging for me since I usually work with low-power devices (3.3v...).
After reading and re-reading, I have designed the following system. I'm sharing the diagram, notes, and some questions.
Notes:
Thank you!

I have been designing a PV (Photovoltaic) system for my country house. I have extensive knowledge of electronics, but some power aspects are challenging for me since I usually work with low-power devices (3.3v...).
After reading and re-reading, I have designed the following system. I'm sharing the diagram, notes, and some questions.
Notes:
- 2x Fuse holders. 2x 16A 1000VDC 10x38 fuses.
- DC Surge Protector 2P 500V 20KA-40KA.
- 2P 50A 400V AC Circuit Breaker.
- 50A Main power switch
- 40A/30mA Residual Current Device (RCD).
- Household Appliance Circuit Breakers / Lighting / ... 25A/16A/...
- 200A DC Fuse.
- 12V 24V 48V 275A Battery Switch.
- Does the system seem appropriate to you? Is anything missing or unnecessary?
- I haven't placed anything between the AC output of the inverter and the house electric panel. Some designs include a circuit breaker there. Is it necessary? Wouldn't the Main power switch, RCD, and circuit breakers in the distribution board be enough?
- For protection between the battery and the inverter, I've installed a 200A fuse. Additionally, the battery has a switch connected to the BMS (Battery Management System). Is there anything else necessary?
Thank you!
