Really useful thread this. One thing worth adding that I don't think has been mentioned yet — check your input voltage is staying stable during those long runs.

Haha, this thread is basically a masterclass in suspense writing at this point! 😄 Following with interest as I'm in a similar position — single-phase grid connection here in rural Shropshire, but...

@Tommo30 Yeah the Orion and MPPT coexistence is something I spent ages getting my head around. The key thing is they don't actually communicate directly — both just respond to battery voltage...

T6Dream | Posts: 234 @JakeShaw96 The 12V appeal makes total sense starting out, but worth considering your actual load requirements first. What are you running in there?

Great setup @LutonDream! Once you've sorted the Voc calculation that @Victron_Pro and @CarlBaker are flagging, you should be in good shape.

Great points from @LiFePO4Fan and @NeilSmith already. One thing worth adding — LiFePO4 batteries have a very flat voltage curve, so a voltage-sensing relay struggles to know when they're actually...

Really glad this thread is going in this direction — perimeter and sub-floor spec are so often an afterthought. One thing worth adding to what @SolarRachel and @DontPanic44 have touched on: if...
