Hi, thanks in advance. You guys are awesome. I've been reading a while but finally jumped in bigger.
I've got 40 x 250w 24v panels. I've also got 16 LiFePo4 cells. So I was originally just thinking 24v battery x2 and panels in parallel and good.
Now I'm thinking with this much wattage maybe 48v makes sense? 2 panels in series x 20 and one 48v pack?
Obviously smaller wire requirements. One BMS vs two. Any reason I shouldn't go 48v over 24? Inverters etc?
I'm about to line it all up and I'm stuck on the 24 vs 48 part as it changes everything.
Edit: forgot to add for BMS I was planning on the chargery 8 or 16 obviously if its 24v or 48v.
I figure I'll commit to one, spec it out and let you guys tell me what I've done wrong =)
