Zwy
Emperor Of Solar
Next build is as follows.Zwy has a great custom rack.
7000 60KW of 300AH batteries
0500 4x 100A BMC
0030 standoffs and mounts for the BMC's
0400 6x4ft Threaded rod + Bolts washers etc
0015 2x8ft 1/2" PVC pipe
???? Interesting cabinet
???? 300A BUS WIRE/Infrastructure . . 4/0? $8/ft paired 2/0 or 1/0?
Realistically closer to $9-10K, with the cabinet but still a big savings. Kind of, tough to move around. Weak aesthetics not that that really matters.
Cells $91 each from Luyuan includes shipping- $5824
4 JK BMS with screens, includes shipping- $585.55
4 T Class fuses with holders from Don Rowe- $239.96
Cabinet- $200
Copper busbars 1/4" x 1" x 48" - $150 includes shipping
That comes to $6999.51. I will need 4/0 cable and some 1/0, maybe some 1/8" x 3/4" wide copper bar (which I already have left over). I don't use breakers on the bank for each battery, instead I use T class fuses. I will need some square tubing for the shelves, sixteen 5/16" redi rods and some pvc for covers (I have a pile of scraps), 4 end plates from 1/2" aluminum plate (I have a pile of 3/4" I might use instead I gave $40 for the whole pile). Luyuan free gift of the cell separator panels which I might use instead of poron.
Can I build it for under $8000? I sure hope so. This build is to see how cheap I can build it unlike my first build which used the Batrium and cells cost more then. That one went $11K but the Batrium Core, expansion board and 4 K9's don't come cheap.
