Ok so here is the plan...I ordered 8xFortune LiFePO4 3.2V 2C cells and a ECPC-Smart-BMS-24V-100A-200A 24V 100A or 200A Smart Simple BMS
For a 24v 800ah battery bank.

And I ordered a PIP LV2424 MSD 24V 2.4kW, 120V Output, 2kW Solar Input 80A Mppt charge controller/inverter.

I'm building a solar array for a 38' class A motor home. My plan for panels are 2 https://a1solarstore.com/longi-445w-solar-panels-144-cell-lr4-72hph-35.html
I put the link so anyone can look up panels.
I just want to make sure I'm on the right track and if there is anything that seems off about my plan.

Appreciate the assist
 
Just wanted to say that the Longi panels are great. I just bought a pair of them (currently only one connected) and it's a real beast :cool:

According to my micro-inverter's app, I am producing around 370w AC with just one panel connected, at full sunlight. There are probably some inefficiencies in the inverter, but for me that's a great output.
Previously I had 4x100w panels connected to the same inverter, and the maximum I got at full sunlight was around 260w AC.

Unfortunately the inverter doesn't measure the DC output of the panels (or maybe it's just not displayed on the app), so that's why I quoted AC output.

I am planning to put both on my pergola for a small grid-tied DIY setup. Just haven't had the time to install the second one.
