Ah, the ol' circa 2019 Will Prowse system.

Looks good. If you need to heat your home during an extended outage you should consider a diesel or propane heater. This system will be good for baseline loads (lights, fridge, etc..). I also watch Offgrid Basement’s channel and his 24V system.
-
neat job clean looking
-
Nice tour of your system.
-
Excellent video. I have several of those Epever in my main setup now and love them. I had 5 RICH Solar panels before and they always worked great for me. And I still have a few giandel inverters. Did a video on a smaller 12v model. Keep those videos coming! subscribed.

Great system and video. Thank you for sharing!
-
Looks nice! 🎉
-
Neat set up😊
-
Go for the thicker wire. Spending a little more on thicker wire is better than burning down your house.
-
😄👍Good Stuff, Great Tips

Another PowerQueen fan. We’re up up to six, 12v, 200ah Powerqueens, including the four in the bank we use to charge our Ford F150 lightning. We’ll be upgrading that from 10kw to 20kw in a few weeks.

With prices of batteries dropping 50% this year I’m adding more wh 😊
-
Nice setup, try with our 12V230Ah
-
The red and black + and - junction boxes at the bottom of your board...where did you get those, sir? And thanks for posting your build, sir. Also, do you use battery terminal covers?
-
how many watts from solar panels do you need to charge that battery bank in 6 hours ?
-
Did you mention what kind of battery you using lithium .
-
can you keep your battery bank charged using the power grid?

Hey, just to let you know The Wire that you got going to. Your inverter needs to be upsize. To the same size that you are going to your batteries. Because those wires oR way under size. I have tried. The manufacturer size and found out that was a cause of the emperor shutting down. And The wire was Getting hot.

I'm building a system very close to this

At 4000 w surge, the maximum draw from your battery bank will be 167A. Your 24v inverter cannot draw all the power from a 12v battery. It needs a 24v battery. If you have 2-12v batteries in series for 24v. The 167A will be shared almost equally btw the batteries. That is 83.5A from each battery. A 4awg wire is enough to connect 2-12v batteries in series if the max amp draw is 167A. 4awg pure copper can handle up to 85A.
