@T6Project welcome to the rabbit hole! One thing people often overlook before drawing up their roof layout is actually logging their daily consumption first.
So I've been running a 400W panel array on my static caravan up in the Peak District since last spring and the drop-off in December has been genuinely shocking.
Great thread! Just to add something that might not have come up yet — worth checking whether your BMS is cutting off charging or discharging (or both) at low temps.
Really useful thread, cheers everyone. One thing I'd add — when you first connect, make sure the battery has a decent state of charge, ideally above 50%.
