So as my first Solar project after months of research I've decided to try a mobile tool cart. I'll be adding plywood to the base of the shelves with the black Neoprene Rubber over the wood.
Batteries:
2x206ah SOK in series for 206ah 24v with 2 gauge cables connecting to busbar after cut off switch. Then from busbar to the Growatt 3000 24V (Renogy in this image as a place holder) with a 150amp breaker.
Solar:
Currently only 600 watts (3x 200w Renogy panels) which will be in series and pass through 80 amp breaker to a XT60 connector (my current solar amps are less than 10)
Power:
From the Growatt AC output I will go to a 30 amp fuse that will power the subpanel bus bar when the breaker is kicked. A jumper to the second busbar for 120v x 2. Then a 20amp breaker will be wired to a Surge protected Outlet.
Input:
AC will be a outdoor grounded extension cord through a 40amp breaker. I'll probably jump the neutral from AC in to AC out so will have a bonded neutral when plugged into the wall.
Top Shelf:
Sub Panel
Using the 30a breaker to be able to kill power to the panel. Then when the panel is on the jumper will connect the 2 busbars. Keeping Ground and Neutral unbound in case need to use this setup during power outage to my AC Panel. I've seen Growatt recommends a jumper from neutral AC in to AC out if tieing to home breaker box. This allows the home panel to be the only bound point.
SOK in Series
Will be using 2 gauge wire. Hope to reuse the SOK terminal covers for added protection. Decided to remove the fuse and add the 150 breaker between busbar and input on the growatt.
Thoughts? Anything I can improve? Anything inherently unsafe?
