From what you've shared, it seems like you're trying to make sense of the BMS, which is a 200A pace BMS. It might help to double-check the manual or reach out to others who have installed the same inverter for some tips and tricks. S

Two hours down the drain is no joke. It's great that you found success with the Vitron system instead. Sometimes simplicity wins out over fancy features.

When switching to 48v, reconfigure them in series. Hook each charge controller to half of the battery bank for balanced charging. For the Renogy battery monitor, calibrate it to match your charge controller's reading. Adjust the monitor's settings until it shows the correct voltage.

I'd say you're on the right track with the 2 AWG cable for your setup. Since your BMS is 100A and the distances are short, it should handle things fine. For the inverter, considering the 3000W max output and the short distances involved, 2 AWG seems like a solid choice. If you ever upgrade to...

It's great that 18650 Battery Store replaced the faulty cells from your first order, but it's a bummer that you didn't get a response regarding the dented cell from your second order. And now, receiving the wrong cells in your third order is just adding insult to injury. It's understandable...

Yep, you're on the right track with your understanding. With a 100A controller, it's generally good practice to aim for around 90A into the array terminals. And for those 12v 100W panels, since they peak at 4.3A, you're correct that you shouldn't really go over 16 panels per controller. It's all...
