Great job! I love the way you tiered the batteries. With a system that big (almost 21kwh) I would have gone with 48 volts instead of 24 to half the size of your wiring. I went with 48v on my smaller 16.4kwh battery. I have a separate 7.1kwh (560ah) 12v battery that I can also draw inverted power from. In fact, I did just that for this hurricane, as the week leading up to it was overcast and rainy the entire week here in NC, so to stretch my big battery, I ran the TV and computer off my 12v, 1kw inverter, saving my 48v, 5kw inverter to run my A/Cs, microwave, fridge, etc. Now that the storm has passed, both batteries will be full before the end of the day with over 5kw of solar. It's smart to have a 12v battery for brief, high current loads.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! We love hearing them. We do 24v in large part due to the nature of these 50 amp 2 leg RVs. Victron does not make a 2x120 48v multiplus (that we're aware of). Using these we preserve the full 50 amp capabilities of the RV , put both inverters in parallel for perfect balancing of loads and we're good to go. We hear ya, we do plenty of 48v systems and like them, lots of trade offs. Great to hear your system helped you through the storms, sounds pretty bad in some parts.
Hi Shaun, great video as normal. 800Ah a lot lol.. planning a 1400AH @24v, running 2 MP2 in parallel @240v.. Would love to pop over and use some wire but Australia is a bit far to come for wire lol.
Your installs just keep evolving!!! Can't wait to see what's next!

Great video information. Thanks Don
thats a beast system you guys did.. nice job SotaS
Do you have part numbers for the digikey sourced terminal blocks?
that’s a nice one!
It certainly is.

Costs a LOT of bread!
That's true, but we can only put more life in our years , can't take any bread with us.
