#solar #grownostr any good educational sources to build your own solar system?

I have a 200w system hooked up to an old car battery.

Looking to create a system with maybe 1000w solar + 100-200ah batteries.

Stick with 48vdc. Best overall price.

It’s that how you setup panels and batteries? Sorry, I’m new to the max :)

No, the inverter and batteries need to be/support 48vdc. It's easier/more efficient to get to 120vac from 48v than it is from 12v.

3 large panels, 3k inverter, 200ah lifepo4 batteries is a lot of power. Ran my barn all summer running tables saws, planers, fans, battery chargers, cooking, etc.

Check out some videos from Hack My Homestead.

Sounds like you’ll need a good charge controller, more battery, more panels.

I installed a grid tied system on my home but it’s a little different than an off grid setup.

Awesome, thanks!
