This is my current setup. Note that nothing is to scale (wire length etc, just a connection diagram).
This is what I'm intending to do with the upcoming Outback Mojave inverter to manage the storage/changeover and allow my GTI setup to continue functioning in the event of grid failure:
The 45A breaker from main panel to the Outback might not be right - It is a placeholder until I look at it further. The Mojave may be able to do a higher grid pass-through current, but I'm not sure.
I'm assuming I should have a rapid shutdown switch on the outside of the house in case of emergency, so my plan was to reuse the existing external PV disconnect box for that. There is a RSD switch input on the Mojave inverter. Should I leave it as-is, and add a second switch for the inverter RSD?
I am checking with Outback Power to see if the Mojave has a built-in precharge circuit. If not, I'll put one in. It does have a built-in set of breakers for the battery.
The breakers on the batteries are more for potential servicing concerns since the Mojave does have its own battery breaker already. I want to be able to shut down a bank if needed for servicing reasons.
I've been reading a lot and my brain is overloading. I mainly wanted to make sure I'm on the right path. Any immediate, glaring faults or things I should consider?
Things I still need to do:
1) Determine best bus bars (maybe the ones included are good enough)
2) Get wire
3) Get the large AWG crimpers and lugs
4) Get the small lugs for BMS leads (which I'll have more questions on, the wiring diagram is a bit weird to me)
5) Get the battery fixture hardware figured out
6) Wait until May for the inverter to be available for purchase
Oh, and I need to clean up the area around my breaker box as it is a mess and there's no room for all this stuff.
