Hi Guys
I am looking at this smart inverter i would like to get some honest opinion on it has anyone heard of them before etc
what size battery bank can i hook up to this thing and what would the best aH rating be , i know it would be a 48VDC bank and probably 6v cells i guess
also the panels i was looking at are ReneSola : Virtus II 300W : Solar Panels, 10 of these should give me close to the 3000w the inverter can handle correct??
in South Africa we expect around 5.6 hours of good sun per day
I am planning on running this mostly in off grid mode with the option of also using the grid if needed
any advise or help will be very much appreciated IE dont be shy to tell me im talking hogwash
Cheers
