My grandpa is gifting this 11 acres to my dad and grandpa lives on the adjacent property. My dad expects to live there for a few years and he eventually wants to take the solar system back to his house. I have been put in charge to do the research and I'm trying my best but this is beyond my ability to design. That is why I'm here!
This is what I have so far:
The panels themselves mounted on those ballasted ground plastic mounts. No digging or any extensive work!
The inverter + batteries going to be housed in an insulated ventilated metal shed that's going to be next to the RV.
Inverter/Charger: I was completely overwhelmed by all the options but it looks like Victron is time-tested. I was thinking the 48V Quatrro because of the dual AC inputs. Solar + generator
Sunlight: Extremely good view of the eastern sun with no shade.
Location: Pacific Northwest. Lots of cloudy and overcast days.
50amp RV: 2 AC's /electric heater/12V Refrigerator/Microwave.
Battery Bank: I can't figure out what they would need!
I have no clear idea of how much is too much or too little. There is no frame of reference. Quattro 10kVA too little or too much? or should it be 2x Quattro 10kVA? and how many LiFePO4 batteries?
Is 48V inverter the right call for this application?
They are going to need an electrician, so labor is also factor in overall cost.
Anyone done anything similar to this? Any brands or suppliers or "kits" that I should look into?
