Electrical setup question
Hey guys and gals, i am looking to uppgrade my electrical system and i´m wanting to use the Simarine system, trying to wrap my head around everything i need i have alot of the system already, but it´s the simarine and lifepo4 batterybank that is the biggest change am i missing something here ?

7) DC LOAD & CONVERTERS
-
Victron Orion 24→12 V DC‑DC converter (for 12 V loads) (already installed)
-
12 V load fuse box and branch circuits (installed)
-
24 V load fuse box and branch circuits (installed)
8) CABLING & CONNECTORS
Already have a system in place that has been working for many years but some cables will need to be checked and replaced, i think for example i used oversize solar wires that will work but ill have to check ofcourse, already have a 3000w 24v inverter so i may be able to use the same wires on the victron etc but i will go over everything.
I know it´s a massive list but i´m just trying to make sure i get everything i want for what i need it for. The simareine system is going to help me automate somethings with the alarm/relay functions like heating pads on grey/black water tanks, and it´s really just vanity i like seeing the data in and out i´m abit of a nerd
here´s my home, this is from Denmark 2 years ago
