Ok, I could really use some input lol. Right when I think I know what direction I want to go, I second guess it haha.
I’m looking at jumping up from a 24v system to a 48v system. Here’s a quick rundown of the current system:
Victron 250/70 MPPT
1,100Ah worth of AGM batteries
Outback 3500w inverter
Victron BMV712/ shunt
2500w worth of panels
Breaker panel, DC disconnect and all the other usual odds and ends.
I use the system primarily as a backup but would like to slowly upgrade to 48v LiFePo server rack batteries and run off the system more and more to reduce needs. Primary function will always be for power outages from storms and well, the state of the world as we know it lol.
Here’s where I’m at now:
I love Victron products and the ease of use and monitoring. I’ve been doing a lot of research over the past few days and it’s changed my thoughts a lot. I was originally sold on the Multiplus II but since I’ve been looking, I’m seeing a lot more bang for my buck out of the AIO units. I’m trying to do this as budget friendly as possible, but not wanting to skimp either. I’m honestly leaning more towards:
EG4 6000xp
Sungold 8KW split phase
LV6048
I’d like to go split phase since I’m upgrading, so far the 3.5kw has run everything in my home with no issues (gas range, gas furnace, gas dryer).
I’m really liking the AIO units and the massive PV potential, even with my 250/70 I’m limited to around 4kw input.
What’s your thoughts and experiences? How’s the Bluetooth monitoring capabilities?
I have (2) backup 12v setups, I’ll just repurpose the unneeded parts and make one backup setup a 24v. I have another 1.5kw worth of panels on the backup setup as well. I
