Hey all, I have a new off grid solar system I’m setting up on my 40ft trailer. This is going to be my off grid homesteading trailer in Montana while I build my cabin.
I have a lot of parts I’ve bought and horse traded for over the years but I’m trying to make the most logical and financial sense of these parts and how to proceed.
Currently I have 10 300 watt panels installed on the trailer in 2s 5p so 80v total system voltage with a simple victron charge controller charging a small 24v battery bank with a single growatt 120v 3kw hybrid inverter.
My question mainly is I recently procured a load of solar equipment from a friend of mine who decided to go a different direction. It included a solar edge se6000h grid tie inverter with battery backup and ev charging.
While looking over the specs it states that it requires minimum of 80v turn on pv voltage, and all panels must have power optimizers, the optimizers have a minimum string length for the 300 watt optimizers of 6, so I’ll need to find room for another two panels for two 6 panel strings@240v.
This is all fine and dandy however the other problem is I need to source the split phase power for the inverter to commission and run then go on battery backup which I’m not sure how well that will work without grid connection.
