Hello everyone!
I’ve been doing some heavy research on solar the last couple weeks.
I just bought 10 acres in Belfair WA. I was hit with a $25k estimate to connect to the grid, plus the month bill for usage.
I’m exploring a solar alternative. With so many options on the table, I’m hitting paralysis by analysis.
I’m looking for DIY recommendations. I’ve been eyeing 3x 6500w EG4 inverters, and 6x 100ah eg4 batteries. Plus a 18k PV solar array. I don’t have a power bill to reference; my useage last year at the home I owned was average of 650kwh/month. However, I didn’t live there much last year and I can’t see the usage from the year before. The house was also very energy inefficient.
I currently live in a travel trailer. Im Working on getting the power bills from my family member, so I can compare their average useable before I moved onto the property to now, and that will give me a better idea of my current power needs.
For the next two years until I start building, I’ll need enough juice to power my trailer, a shallow well pump, dishwasher and some basic electrical in sheds I’m building. Once I build I’ll need to scale this up, and will likely eventually connect to the grid as a requirement to get my construction loan.
Is it possible to build a system that can provide what I need for under $25k
