I have one comment though, I see you are using a PWM regulator. Have you thought about using a MPPT regulator? You will end up getting aroung 25%(I'm not 100% sure? about the exact value) more power out of your panels. By the way, are you in the Philippines? I have an off-grid system of my own and I am planning on posting a video about it soon, just waiting for good sun. Nice set-up. I have one comment though, I see you are using a PWM regulator.

That ally and the efficiency has a direct impact on the energy bill.Well I think your government to give incentives for those who inject power into the grid. Eu usaria um sistema de 24V e um inversor Grid Tie. Isso almentaria a eficiencia e teria impacto direto na conta de energia.Pois acho que seu governo dar incentivos pra quem injetar? energia na rede.

If you combine your panels in parallel at the panels it takes a bigger wire. If you bring each panels wires into the controller as a separate pair,? just use wires the same size as they come with. I would connect them in parallel at the panels and then use 12ga. wire from there to the controller. Keep the distance from panels to controller as short as possible. Use 12ga. from controller to batteries and 4ga. from battery to battery. @barnone11967Depends on how you do it. If you combine your panels in parallel at the panels it takes a bigger wire.

Under ideal conditions it could operate at max draw for 4.5 hours but since DC-AC inverter cuts off at around ~10.5v I'd say ~3? hours or so. Still not bad to keep just the fridge running for close to a week after a power outrage if not opened too much. true that the batteries can pump out 4800w at 12v however the inverter is a 1000kva or around 900w so the maximum it can ever draw in is 900w/12v=75a more likely 85 due to inefficiencies.
