Recommendation of DC distribution system (Busbar) and connecting cable

Hello, I would like you to recommend a DC distribution system capable of supporting the amount of batteries I have installed.


My installation consists of:


- 16 Pylontech US200C batteries


- Victron Quattro 15000VA


- 3 MPPT Victron Smart Solar


The batteries are in groups of 4 units so in this case I need a DC distribution system for 7 positive cables + 7 negative cables (In both cases, negative and positive, 4 for the batteries and 3 for the MPPT)


On the other hand I would like to know what type of connection cable should I use to connect the DC distributor with the inverter. I understand that the maximum power that the cable must withstand is 300A. The distance between the DC distributor and the inverter will be approximately 1 meter.


Could you tell me what type of DC distributor and what type of cable would be suitable for my installation?


Thanks.

Victron makes some very nice bus bars to handle exactly what your asking for. Totally worth the money in my opinion

I use the Victron Lynx Busbar system on all our installs. Works really well.


You can install Fuses in the Power-In but you will need to add your own Stainless M8 bolts, washers and nuts to the middle. Distributor already has them installed.
