Like most of the projects I have tackled on this Off Grid adventure, putting together a larger Solar Lithium Battery system was a big deal. There is so much information out there on the inter webs, perhaps too much or it is too fractured. But being a "maker" I had to give it a go myself, with a bit of help. (Zero sponsorship or incentives etc, all funded by Judy and myself).

If you are going to take a project like this please do your own homework. This video is not a specific "how to do" this project, rather I'm giving you a little taste of the adventure. I hope you understand.

My system is as follows;
4600watt Solar input 13.44 KWH battery, totally off grid giving 4000w of 240v useable power.

Solar panels 12 Hyundai s390UF
Clenergy racking system
Victron Inverter charger 48/5000/70
Victron MPPT 250/85
Victron Cerbo GX and touch screen
Victron Smart Shunt
EVE 280 Amp Hour Lithium Batteries (liFePo4) x 16 (3.2V each)
Cable from MPPT to Battery 35mm2
Cable from Battery to Inverter 70mm2
2 x DC 25 amp breakers
1 x 80 amp MCB (need to replace with 125 amp)
2 x Roof Top Solar power DC Isolators

Thanks to my Mother and Father In law - Gloria and Michael for the help in getting the panels up. xoxo

Thanks to Tim Lawton for the advice and help in wiring up the 240 volt section and Solar Panels. Oh and the great feed, thank you!!
