You went all out. Looks like all the phone calls and planning was well worth it. Build looks amazing. Very well done. You made this old nerd proud.

[@TrailMedic911]

Well I could not of done it without your help getting all of this straight in my head. 👍😎👍

[@MtnWanderer-TieDye-]

Damn you're smart!

[@TrailMedic911]

All shucks!!!! 😇

[@SarahStuff-p5u]

Make sure you double check that continuity between panels, prob be a none issue by the looks of it, but really quick and easy to check to be sure.

[@SarahStuff-p5u]

You do not want to become ground for 3100 watts, trust me on that, personal experience.

[@SarahStuff-p5u]

Worth once a year verifying continuity out of caution, take 10 mins at most.

[@TrailMedic911]

Thank you for all of your advice & wisdom! 👍

[@SarahStuff-p5u]

If you upgrade at some point to split phase 6kw inverter combo, the bare min for a budget build I would look at 4kw of panels and 20kwh of batteries.

[@TrailMedic911]

Yep, but for me it was all about the money and getting the most for my buck.

[@SarahStuff-p5u]

With all those panels, not sure how much battery you have now, but 15kwh of 48v will really let you get full use of them about 95% of the time. I squeck by with 10kwh for a 2.1kw set of panels myself.

[@TrailMedic911]

I have a 100ah 12v LiFePo4 for the small array and a 100ah 48v LifePo4 for the larger array.

Do they use lp gas as back up? I will need something to run the my house and go to lp generator when solar is l9w.

[@TrailMedic911]

AC 120volt power is the backup. Where you get that power, grid or generator depends on what you have available. Thanks for watching! 👍
