We have an opportunity to do two small scale 24Vdc lighting systems at an off-grid location run off PV and batteries. We're talking maybe 8-12 LED fixtures drawing 30-50W each (on motion sensors). However, we might want to plan for future expansion. Question: what are you doing for DC distribution in cases like this? I am considering a Midnite DC disconnect box with DIN rail mounted DC breakers. Otherwise, I might go with a class T fuse and holder with a Square D QO load center.
In each case I am looking at a small battery bank and appropriate PV with a Morningstar controller. Any thoughts on PV circuit protection? The system we are replacing is kind of sad, using inline automotive fuses and a lot of exposed wiring. Ultimately, it would be nice to have a flexible but completely integrated system.
