I had to go on grid power for the last few days as well as it's now raining here in Northern California. I only have 1/2 the battery capacity as you right now, but, I just bought x4 165ah 12v batteries from dj house for $180/ each.
A guy checked the idle consumption of one of the newer MPT (all in ones from Taiwan) and it was like 110watts. That was about a year or two ago. If you buy another one you might want to ask what the self consumption is. Just a thought. He had bought two of them and that eats into batteries at night or with poor sunlight. I think the company in Taiwan was the first or close to the first with the all in ones. But many companies have copied them and improved on their design. If I build a large system I like the EG4 stuff. They have some new systems that are lower cost and some have fewer options to get the price down. Keep making videos.
Mine is the older model I think it's about 65 watts idle. My solar input max voltage is 250 volts. The new ones that have the high solar voltage ( 500 volts I think ) are the ones with the high idle consumption. EG4 stuff is nice but a little to pricey so far.
Excellent transfer switch in the service panel! Really nice looking power station there sir,

Awesome too many people think lithium won't accept DC from a lead acid charger lol I know it's nuts.
