I had a previous idea but delayed it to do some research and am now trying something different.
I'm trying to design a ground mount Victron system that provides power for home and includes 230V power for a dryer, range, water heater, etc. I was going to use a couple of Victron 5000/48 inverters with a couple of Victron SmartSolar MPPT 450/100-Tr charge controllers for a split phase system but on further investigation I realized the number of bi-facial solar panels I want to eventually have (24 ea. BlueSun 460W-->575W potential) would exceed the limit of the 2 inverters I was thinking of using. I am seeing that Victron makes an Inverter (Victron Quattro 48/15000) that will take the input and will supply the 230V output to supply current for the 230V appliances (if I'm understanding correctly). I also see that Victron has a Charge Controller (Victron SmartSolar MPPT RS 450/200-Tr) that might be appropriate for the 15000/48 Inverter....... I'm confused about whether one MPPT 450/100-Tr will suffice for the 15000/48 Inverter. I'm learning but it's a lot to unpack before going through the process and making the mistakes most people make to learn what's what..... I'd like to get a little help with this first decision. Am I on to a solution or is it flawed.
I just thought of something I may have gotten wrong/misunderstood- This Victron 15000/48 doesn't say that the output is 120/230V so is there access to 120V ? I think I'm over my head on this and I can't find anything about this inverter other than the sales information.
TIA......... rci
