What I'm aiming to get settled soonest is my battery bank, as I'm looking to buy from the current batch that Amy Luyuan has ordered. My plan is to create a 48v battery bank with 48x Eve LF280K 3.2V 280AH cells arranged as 16S3P. I am also considering 4 strings instead of 3, which would be 64 cells instead of 48 - but kinda thinking that might be more than I need and would likely die of old age long before reaching max cycles (6000). I'd estimate about 12-15 KWH normal daily usage, and they'd be stored in a basement due to more ideal year round temperature. I am looking for BMS recommendations - Amy sells JBD, Daly, Chargery, and JK. Also interested in urls of similar builds, happy to learn from others experiences.
I'm thinking 16 KWH in solar panels and 12 KWH inverter capacity, ideally with a high 30sec burst capacity somewhere in the ballpark of 20 KWH. I've always liked the Schneider Conext inverters from past years of research, but as I've been trying to catch up on more modern info I've found them to not be as favorable as they once were? I think I read that they don't yet support charging lifepo4 batteries? I have no idea what solar panels I want, I intend to ground mount them, not roof mount.
I am happy to receive advice on or field any questions for any component of this build, I have a lot to decide and to learn still, but I need to get it done this year for an off grid home I'm building. My first purchase is the battery system components, as I'd like to get that going since the lead time is so long from china currently, and then I need some time to learn/tinker with building out packs and balancing them. I'll be spending the winter researching, no doubt.
Thanks
