I am planning my solar system and have some questions. I'll be doing a 48v system with 2 EG4 LL 48v batteries and a Eg4 3000 W inverter/charger. The inverter contains an mppt so that's why that is not part of my system. The manual emphasizes wiring the batteries in series with a 600 amp bus bar. It comes with a 125 amp breaker switch, and both batteries have a 125 amp breaker switch on them. Both the inverter and the batteries also have power on/off buttons.
Here are my questions.
1: Are there any obvious real red flags in the system?
2: The manual for the inverter says 10 AWG for AC in AND out. My breaker box will be very close to the inverter. Will 10 AWG be good? What size wire should I send to the DC Fuse Panel if it'll be about 3 -5 ft?
3: Do I need to add a circuit breaker before my DC fuse panel or DC to DC converter? I've seen other diagrams with one and I want to know if that's necessary.
4: Since both the batteries and the inverter have on/off circuit breakers, is it reasonable to think I don't need an emergency on/off switch?
5: Do I need to ground to the chassis, and if so, from where? The inverter has a grounding terminal and my 30 amp shore outlet says grounding on that.
6: I'll be consulting my dad about wiring my breaker box, who is an electrician. But he doesn't have much solar or DC experience. Any feedback on what an typical electirican may not know about such things?
7: If I add alternating charging in the future, will I be able to route that to the existing bus bars?
