Hello everyone!
I'm planning to set up a solar installation with the following equipment:
- Around 8kW peak solar panels
- 2x Victron Multiplus II 5kW
- 1x Victron Cerbo GX
- 1x Victron Smart Shunt
- 2x LifePO4 DIY batteries (16 cells in series, 13.4kWh each, both in parallel for a total of ~26.8kWh)
- Either Victron MPPTs or PV Inverter (this is the actual question)
My goal is to produce as much energy as possible and not let the system throttle, meaning I will be producing all the energy the panels can offer and either be sending it to the batteries, some loads, or back to the grid.
My question is if I should use Victron's MPPTs or a PV Inverter like the Fronius Primo. (or the new Fronius Primo GEN24 that can actually directly charge the battery too)
I'm sure I'm missing some important information so please bear with me, really looking forward to your opinions and ideas! Thanks <3
