Independent starter battery size for 20kw gen??
#3

We went 48v growatt 8k split phase inverter but our coach had six 8d house batteries so I just kept two 8ds for the house and charged them from the 48v system which is charged from the solar system and growatt split phase inverter charger. The system works flawlessly for over 1 year now.

On another note we have a Prevost bus and did the victron conversion with 4000 watts of solar and if I had to do it over again I would go with growatt. Victron is great equipment but the only way to utilize your solar potential is unplug from the grid (boondocking) or turn on inverter only. Driving down the road the system will run the AC heat pumps with no problem long as the sun is out but if your plugged into a campground that charges by the kilowatt hour your screwed. The growatt has 3 priority's 1 solar (Solar energy provides power to the loads as first priority) first 2 UPS mode (runs on grid all the time till grid goes down) 3 Solar Battery (Solar energy provides power to the loads as first priority.
If solar energy is not sufficient to power all connected loads, battery energy will supply power to the loads at the same time) You do not have these settings with victron. Just my opinion from experience.
