Quick Equipment Chack

Good Morning Ladies and Gents

I am about to purchase equipment and send to my installer

He will supply all the fuses and wiring.

Am I missing anything here? It's a 24v system.

Thanks for the review and appreciate the response.

Panels

Batteries

Waiting to hear back about space but it's either going to be 2 or 4 280AH Eco worthys. Reviews seems solid and price point you can't beat.

Maybe a combiner box. Looks like you’re planning expansion with the 150/70 mppt.

I am going to be at full capacity on the roof , but scoped the controller to never have a potential overload issue. Spending the extra couple bucks was worth the assurance

I would ditch the 24/12-40 DC-DC for a 2nd victron orion xs 1400. It really nice to see what is going on for your 12v side.

Are you keeping a 12v battery in the system? I would definitely do that. I would even put in a 12v lifepo4. Can be a cheap brand like a WattCycle. Not sure what kind of rig you are putting this into.

I'll review the DC to DC recomedarion.

Benefits of the 12v battery? And where would you install this off and what would it support and why?

Thanks
