Hello all!
We recently purchased a cabin in the Parry Sound area (Ontario, Canada) and are looking to go solar and mitigate the need to run our generator (5500w yamaha). The cabin is typically used 3-4 days once per month and for a week twice a year.
I have been researching for a couple of weeks now and believe I have spec'd out my system but before I start purchasing the components I wanted to get some feedback.
Key Requirements:
1) System that can often power our requirements (1500Wh/day) - I am okay running the generator if we have multiple days of no sun
2) Budget - $3000 CAD
3) Expandable if we find the cabin is used more often or we require more solar power
System Components:
1) 3x Renogy Eclipse 100w panels ($500 cash - new in box)
2) 4x 6V Crown CR-205s - 410ah total storage ($140ea - $630 tax inc)
3) xantrex freedom sw3012 12 volt 3000 watt inverter charger ($1000 cash - used)
4) Renogy Rover 40amp MPPT controller - ($200 tax inc)
5) Misc components (cables/fuses/DIY panel mounts etc) ($500)
Do you guys see any major issues with this plan given my requirements? Any alternatives you would suggest?
