I have a 44' RV 5th wheel with 50A shore input and onboard 5.5kw generator. I started putting a material list together for an off grid power system thinking I'd do what I see everyone else doing... 12v battle borns, rv solar panel, victron charge controller and multi plus ll inverter...etc.
After researching more I'm thinking there's a better way... like 24v or 48v, sever rack batteries, all in one growatt inverter/mppt/solar charge controller... thoughts suggestions??
Thanks

I'm out of lane on what you are asking but check out Ecoflow and see if they have something that meets your needs.

I can't help much either but you would be better off with a bank of 6 volt golf cart batteries, say 4 of them. Two wired in series for 12 volts and then connected together in a parallel configuration to increase the amperage capacity with the 6 volt batteries wired in series while keeping everything 12 volt.

I worked in the telephone industry and dealt with battery racks in our main offices where we had whole walls full of 2 and sometimes 3-4 shelves of single cell batteries all tied together for massive amperage and only 48 volts.
