Guys. I’m swapping out my Mpp 5048 for some more power, going from a 5kw to 12kw will I need to upgrade my battery bms and fuses?
I currently have 2 - 48v 280ah battery packs with the Jbd 200a BMS on each pack. 200a fuses protecing each battery and 2/0 battery cables.

What do I need to upgrade to? I’m hoping to get by with bms if all possible.

Thanks
 
12k at 48VDC is around 250A total or 125A per battery. The question is how much peak power will you need? I have the Growatt 12k powering my panel via a 30A breaker, so I only see around 130 amps total from my (4) 5kWh batteries total. I have a 200A fuse between the rack and the inverter. Your fuse should be rated for the wire you are using. I'm using 1 AWG.
