This has been a great resource, I'm combing through posts - if there's anything glaring that's already been answered feel free to point me in the direction, thanks!
Daily needs: 1.09 kWh, Solar zone 2 (SE Utah)
I'd be appreciative of any input on the off-grid system below, and have three main questions right now:
1) do I need a remote inverter controller? The wholesaler I'm buying from recommends it (specifically the Magnum Energy ME-ARC Inverter Remote), they say the inverter (Magnum Energy MMS1012G) needs to be reprogrammed for most folks use
2) The panels will be 50 ft from the structure where energy will be consumed. What would be the best distances to configure? For example, keep everything at the panels, run a cable to the structure - or house everything there
3) What is the proper application / place for breakers? One between charge controller and batteries and then between panels and the controller?
Thank you in advance for your time!
