Beginner question for battery to inverter connections
I bought an off grid cabin in Maine that was powered by a small inverter and a single deep cycle battery. Good for a few lights but not much more. Over the last year on a budget I have added 3 solar panels (275wt each) a super cheap basic charge controller, 4 deep cycle batteries (200ah each wired in Parallel) and a 5000watt harbor freight

Freedom Forever is the shadiest company I''ve ever dealt with
I''ve burned $10M+ over the last 4 years on figuring out solar EPC and eventually went with Freedom because they, above all else, have their act together. And trust me, I''ve worked with and vetted hundreds of installers and EPCs. If you were my customer, our warranty would fall in second position, and I would fight Freedom on your behalf.
Tesla inverter went bad : r/TeslaSolar
They already changed out 5 inverters and don''t really seems to want to find the culprit. Currently 2/4 inverters are working barely and I have to reset them periodically as they go down. It''s been 9 months of hundreds of phone calls and emails and it still doesn''t work. I''ve been working with energy resolutions since February and they are awful.
Compensation for Failed Inverters : r/TeslaSolar
The system has been active since Nov of last year, so it''s still within the warranty period. Has anyone experienced anything similar and dealt with Tesla regarding this?

I''m in south TX and just got a lvl 1 appointment. Ive had an inverter go out every summer for 3 years running. Takes them about all summer to actually fix it. Its been a giant regret going solar. Im lucky i have 2 inverters so i at least generate about 40-50% of my total.
My 4 year old system hasn''t produced a watt in over three months.
Every time I emailed them I got a passive aggressive response, basically telling me I needed to wait longer. It took them several more weeks to send someone out. When the guy came out he confirmed it was the inverter. Now they''ve been saying that Solar Edge takes a long time to ship parts. I''ve lost another month of production on that excuse.
Solar system down for over a month. When should I get angry?
It''s been a month and a week since my solar abruptly stopped producing and tripped its breaker incessantly. It was June, so I lost my best production month for the entire year and I''m on track to lose July too. My Solaredge inverter went out about 7 months after system installation. I was down for about 3 weeks in June. This was in 2018.
Reliability of SolarEdge Inverters | DIY Solar Power Forum
So, I''ve had 4 inverters in 6 years of operation.

Batteries not fully charging | DIY Solar Power Forum
This may not be much help, but after a couple of months I''ve not been able to ''fully'' charge my 5 rack mount batteries from solar only. I have been able to do so a couple of times from the grid through the Sungold 10k inverter. I''ve been able to get most of the 5 up near 100% SOC but even via grid one battery is still only hitting 99% SOC
FYI: This is what an Inverter Fault and Failure look like
First picture is not always true or an inverter failure as this is seen as clipping if you have to many panels on one inverter and it''s maxing out. This can also happen with clouds, like we see in Florida I see this all the time and the inverter is fine. The second picture I''ve never seen so that seems more likely.
