Building a demonstration 1000W battery 2400Ah power station

Image
I have wired (with fuses) two Renogy 12v 100Ah batteries in parallel and connected to a 12v 1000W hybrid inverter. This was then enclosed in a wooden box with: 1) a weatherproof mains socket. So mains equipment can be plugged in and draw 240 vac at up to 1000W for 2.4 hours. 2) a mains plug (for overnight/cheap rate charging of the batteries) 3) A pair of MC4 PV panel connectors. So the batteries can also be charged for free on a sunny day via a PV panel. I still have to weatherproof the box and add a webserver to allow its operation to be monitored via a mobile phone. It can then be a portable power station and used for demonstration purposes, say, to power laptops on our information table :)
