Hello all, first off I want to thank in advance for sharing your experience and having patience for educating those with question.
Probably, as most of you, I do not have a lump sum to put out for pre-wired power center, 20 300w panels and a 20kwh battery bank.
According from above, I was thinking starting small, and with the time building a stable system.
After some research and few quotes from solar installers I decided to do it on my own as I don't feel like overpaying for everything.
My goal is 8Kw solar panel array with 48v 200-250Ah battery bank. I already have 12v 250Ah battery bank, when it will be finished it will be 48v. At the end it will be grid interactive system.
I was thinking starting with 4 to 6 300w panels and getting 80amp cc. Should I go which 150v, 200, or 250v input? As I understand, a charge controller is one of the important parts in the system, that said, this controller should be able to handle 8Kw input in the future.
For now I am planning to run lights, fridge and other non-sensitive electronics as I already have 2Kw modified wave inverter that I was using in the truck.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
