That is very similar to what I built for my first attempt at feasibility of the concept. The only thing that I did different from you is the size of the wire run from the battery and the Anderson plugs. I only used 6AWG and 60 amp fuses. My BCDC is the 40 amp model and at full power it only draws 50 amps. I also put fans and vents in my box to keep it cool. When I was in FL it was sitting in full sun all day and inside the box was about 9 degrees above ambient.
My new system has all of that except the DC-DC charger is only 30amps and my pure sine wave inverter is a full 2000w. All that AND it is in less than 1/4 the footprint of my first attempt. The two system sizes will be 120ah and 240ah. Still waiting on the final pricing and how soon I can get my prototypes for testing. But it will be a better system at a far better price point than Goal Zero is producing. I’m also working on a solar blanket panel for charging so I can package and offer a plug and play system.
I think i went with the 25 amp dcdc charger. That pure sine inveter must be sweet. I added a 1000w mod wave to mine. Pure sine is in the future..but ya know $$$.
I also added a bypass so I could pull from vehicle mounted battery if needed.
