I’m closing in on finishing my solar setup. Just need to mount my 30 Trina panels and wire them to the inverter and eg4 mppt. I live fully off grid, is this single unit enough? I currently have 1 6000ex, 5 eco worthy 48 volt 50ah batteries in series.”gonna add 3 more soon for 2 banks of 4” I used all 4/0 cable on all the batteries and then sig solar recommended 2awg from the inverter to the buss bars. Also used 2 awg from the eg4 mppt to the buss bars. i have 30, 250 watt Trina panels that are gonna be facing directly south, strings of 10, series parallel and the last 10 will be wired in series to the charge controller. Inverter is wired to the main panel with a 2 pole 40amp breaker with 8 gauge stranded wire. I live in eastern Kentucky if that helps.
I left space to symmetrically add a second 6000ex if needed but seems to me that eg4 decided to axe the production. Is this due to un reliability? Should I try to find a refurbished unit or, wait til finances allow and switch to something different. I bought this unit a couple years back while building the house and then a flood hit and knocked out our budget to buy more as we had to fully re build the home.
House uses a 240 well pump, 240 water heater, clothes dryer, range is propane, we heat with wood and propane on occasion, then of course the normal 15 amp and 20 amp circuits. I do plan to add a couple mini splits later on down the road. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim.
