G Good point. Thank you

So PVC pipe for the PV cables? (about 120'). Would you then run a separate ground wire in there as well? I have 6AWG now going to the MPPT. I have EMT there now and also between equipment shed and house/panel (about 20').

That makes me so happy :). Which conductors do you think will not fit?

Ah thanks for that. Will explore further

I know there's been some questions like this before but I wouldn't mind a check. I have an offgrid only system (currently no AC in and 120V single phase only) with dual 24/3000/120V multiplus in parallel. I am working on my main panel wiring (200A Siemens). I've added a jumper between L1/L2...

I have but for the moment am trying to do bare min to get my plans approved. Will def expand later with one of those, split phase, generator etc but want to work with small bites (i.e. less $ too)

Thanks for all your suggestions. I've revised my plans to use a couple of Lynx Distributors in "reverse" mode as I have seen to manage multiple batteries/inverters. That allows me to have dedicated fuses for each battery string. Im not totally sure I wont need to add a copper bar to connect the...

Im confused as to when they should/should not. Every Victron schematic (which is what this derived from) grounds the multis to the neg busbar.

Ive looked at this setup but it didnt seem to save much. Id be replacing the current 2 prong busbar to the DC disconnect with this. I suppose I could consolidate some of the neg busbar into it - the ground cables can prob go in one... Did find this which might be a solution though still got this...

I am working on a parallel battery setup (so two wires going out) and a dual inverter setup. My diagram.... works but feels messy with all these 3 spot busbars I would need. Wondering if there is a better way to manage all this? Ive looked at the Lynx Distribution and Power In but I dont think...

Thanks everyone. Got some choices.

I am building a system with dual Victron Multiplus (24/3000/120) in parallel and wondering what people do to join the two (or more) AC outs into one to go to panel. None of the busbars from Victron are rated for AC 120 and all the diagrams always just show nothing as in attached image. Do ya...

So my solar array will need to be 150 or so feet from cabin. I'm trying to figure out what the most cost effective solution will be. My system will look like: - 4 x 270Ah 12V LioFePO4 Batteries - SA-8K-N Inverter/Charger, Sol-Ark 8K 120/240V-3P - 24 x 200W 24V PV Link to SolArk...

Well I am sort of bound by the 12v batteries I have so I think 24V is gonna be it. I had a loose desire to wite some of the stuff as 12V in the house such as lights - running it through 12awg 120V wire sounded doable and easier than a second set of wires. But people are sort of dissuading me...

My current setup is 8 200W/24V panels, 2 270AH/12V Li batteries (I actually have just one now but the other will come soon so I can put them in series if needed), 2 Victron 100/50 MPPTs. I currently have a 1200w inverter for powering mini fridge etc while I build a small house. I am currently...
