Im considering going with an all-in-one 24V. Probably a Growatt or an MPP.
Has idle consumption improved as these types of unit mature in the market?
I say idle, and not standby because I don't think, in my use case, they'll ever get to standby, or at least, very rarely.
The unit would be installed in an off-grid cabin. The cabin has a number of motion sensor flood lights on various out buildings and walking paths. The breakers for these lights are left on 24/7 while the cabin has visitors. If the cabin is vacant most breakers are turned off with the exception of the on-demand water pump which may occasionally cycle if water system pressure drops for some reason.
I will say that we are currently running on a 12V 1500Watt square-wave inverter. It is not exactly a high quality unit anyways.
The system will have 1.25 kw of panels wired to it. Battery storage is an issue, and initially we will likely only have 100ah of LiFe storage. More would be added in the future years.
Thoughts?
