When I checked the led lights, they were both solid on and when I checked the definition on the victron toolkit app, it means inverter is on but overload mode. Has anyone had the same problem and how...

    ring terminals

    those wires are very tiny, usually they dont grip firm when you only crimp. i usually make the copper strands protrude a little and then solder after crimping to give me a tight connection

    Using JK-BMS. Do I need a smart shunt?

    i gues you have a bms + fuse on each bank which should keep you calm. for as long as your cells are healthy, and bms balancing them well, the two banks connected in parallel will always have matching SOC

    Using JK-BMS. Do I need a smart shunt?

    point F is the best location if he is only connecting one inverter to the bus. otherwise if you plan to connect other components such as CC, inverters etc then the shunt should come just before your distribution busbar

    New system lasting less than an hour.

    I imagine if you managed to buy those two giant LIfePo4 batteries then I guess you can just add a few more panels, even for the long life span of the batteries its worth keeping them above 50% charged. Even for worst days with no sunshine your TV and lights will remain on for a few mores days...
