I would agree and am trying to avoid that. As someone stated.... I believe in buy once, cry once. ;) Not going to throw $20k at a 3000w system for example when more can be had for less and at the same or higher quality/efficiency/etc. As a beginner I'm looking for others real world experiences...

I used a load calculator from AZ wind and solar, the specific appliances I will be using, and upsized for future expansion to determine my estimated max usage. My cabin is totally off grid and everything I've read says to go/plan bigger than you need. Average daily usage is probably going to be...
