This is my off grid cabin setup. It has been working flawlessly for almost 7 years. I am a retired electrician by profession, so connecting the system did not cause me any problems. The solar panels, otherwise of different types, are connected in parallel due to shading, but in sunny weather they charge easily with 100A my 1800Ah gel battery bank

Thank you for being the first to share.
How come you have decided for 12V system and not more common 48V? I suppose it was not that common 7 years ago?
Hello Lure. I decided on a 12V system because at the time I only had a 12V Solartronics inverter, a Steca PWM charger and quite a few 12V DC loads. Later I switched to Victron with second hand Multiplus 12/3000/120, so i have no choice but stay on 12V. The system works flawlessly, despite considerable currents on the DC side…
