Good question.
The setup is:
Victron 75/10 Solar Charge Controller £80
Victron Smart Battery Protect 65 Amp £47.50
Victron Smart Battery Sense £33.99
Victron Phoenix 12/250 Inverter £97.34
Victron Globallink 520 £195
Renogy 50aH LiFePo4 battery £260
Photonic Universe 120w panel £165
Renogy PV stand £40
DC distribution panel, bus bars, cable, fuses, cable lugs etc, £200
Which stands me at just over £1,100.
A bunch of those items are "nice to have", you could do without:
Which would knock almost £300 off, I wanted that lot for system performance and monitoring, and to give me some flexibility (if I understand it correctly, I can operate the switch on the smart battery protect via the Globallink 520 using the Victron App, which will kill all power to the distribution side of the setup, for example).
