Glad to participate in this website. Lots of good info here. My projects focus on backup systems for power due to the frequent power outages we experience. Not a good thing in the summer, but can be deadly in the Winter.
Completely rewired our home, and set up multiple panels that are all fed by a master panel in the tool shed. Wired each of those panels with a generator feed. Purchased Victron 48v inverters, which I am setting up now. Currently have 39 kwh of ESS batteries. Kind of did the whole thing backwards from how some do...spent years putting in more efficient appliances, heating, cooling, lighting, insulation, windows, etc. This summer will be installing the first couple rows of solar panels. Have a difficult solar site...our goal is to run basically off-grid from batteries, but still retain our grid connection.
I'm building racks now for the batteries. At first, we will just charge the batteries from the grid, but later from solar panels. Can use generator to do so too.
I need to learn a lot more about BMS's. I watch videos, but really get lost when it comes to tutorials like with Batrium. Just puchased my first battery level BMS from Battery Hookup. Medium term goal is to start buying whole car batteries in order to help friends out with their projects too. Got to get something set up to handle the heavy batteries.
