I'm working on setting up a small solar system at home, mainly to keep my fridge and freezer going for a couple of days during power outages, alongside a few other small appliances (around 4-5kw in total). I'm planning to use four 12.8V 280Ah Eco-worthy batteries paired with an EG4 6000xp inverter/charger, but I'm curious if anyone has experience with these components. Specifically, how well do they communicate with each other? I'd prefer to manage everything through the EG4 rather than using a separate app for monitoring.

I tried Eco-worthy batteries myself, and I have to say, their customer support was a nightmare! I had a faulty battery, and while they initially promised to replace it, they went completely silent after closing my ticket without any resolution. Just a heads up if you're looking for reliable support!
If you're building a 48V system, it's best to get 48V batteries. It'll save you a lot of wiring hassle and make it easier to keep everything balanced in the long run!
True, but those 48V batteries usually cost more. I'm on a tight budget, so I'm trying to keep expenses down.
