Victron with Enphase System Build

Hello All, I currently have a 4kw solar system with enphase m250 micros. We suffer constant power outages in the area and I would like to add on a storage solution. I was hoping I could get a little input on system requirements;

Currently I am planning to order the following:

1x Quattro 48v 10000va

1x Smartsolar Charge Controller

1x GX Touch

1x Cerbo GX

5x Pylontech US3000c

1x VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS type A Cable

Anything I am missing? Would you change anything in this list?

I appreciate any input!

Will you add a generator to the Quattro or will a single ACIN 10kVA 48V Multiplus II suffice?

Do you plan on adding more DC coupled solar to want a Smartsolar MPPT?

Do the Enphase currently disconnect during power outages and are you looking to connect it to the ACOUT essentials loads output?

@ECT

Ve direct cable to connect the mppt to the gx.

There are quite a few posts on this forum about using Enphase with Victron. It may also be worth reading them before proceeding with anything.

There are alot of design considerations as @ejrossouw has mentioned.

Nice. If you can spring for one more battery as well. It will be most correct for the 10kva.

10 000 ÷ 48v is 208A from bank.

208 ÷ 37A (nominal current for 3000c) is 5.6 batteries, but since you cannot buy 0.6 of a battery.....

If you also want to see the Enphase system in Venus OS you can use this driver: https://github.com/mr-manuel/venus-os_dbus-enphase-envoy

It displays the PV input and you can enable the output to MQTT to track the production of every single panel.
