I am going to be setting up solar in my new home. I plan to run off solar/batteries and will still be connected to the grid in case no sun and batteries are dead. I also have a whole house generator that can be incorporated into this as well. These batteries are the first thing I have bought...

Anyone use KB Solar Panels? Are they any good? I am just starting my diy solar install and looking at panel options. I see they are made in the usa (parts sourced from china I presume) and they price seems okay at 225 for 450 watt panels. What are the most recommended panels to use, I plan...

Which are recommended panels to go with? I will be starting off with about 14kw of panels. I see KB solar has them that are made in the US, anyone have experience with those, the price seems good. They will be ground mounted if that makes a lot of difference. Thanks all

Hey all, I am new to solar so have a lot to learn. My wife and I are purchasing a new house in rural area with some land. We have lots of open space to put up a large solar array. To start I would like to tie into our current electricity provider but eventually add batteries and go off grid...

I am still in the learning phase but so far I think this is the route I am taking. I want to set it up so I am on solar when there is sun, batteries when there is no sun and grid power when there is no sun and batteries are dead. I also have a whole house generator already I would like to...

I am having 20 panels installed on the roof of my pole barn (I have the panels already, hiring someone to do the work), what are some recommended roof mount kits I should look into getting for this, it is a shingle roof. There will be 2 strings of 10 that will be go to one of my inverters (EG4...

I have batteries and inverters (eg4 6000xp's, 3 of them to start with) but not sure which panels to go with. Are there big differences (besides wattage) between the ones sold for instance on current connected or signature solar? I was looking at 2 pallets of the Hyperion 400w bifacial panels...

I am building some 16 cel battery packs and need a bms for them, are these a good option? I will be using Schneider inverters. https://batteryhookup.com/products/7s-21s-24v-75v-300a-lithium-ion-bms?variant=43085312884898

I am having a contractor install 20 panels on the roof of my pole barn, they are Talesun TP7G54M 400 watt (up to 500 watt) bifacial panels purchased from signaturesolar. I will have 2 rows of 10 panels each, each row wired in series, so two strings of 10 panels in each. The data sheet says the...

Does anyone have an example of what a solar plan looks like. I am about to get permits for my solar install and they require a solar plan, I am not sure what this is supposed to look like.

I am looking to hire someone that can consult with for a fairly large residential solar install. I already have the panels (72 panels), 3 inverters and diy batteries and plan to do the majority of the install myself but some of it I want to hire out. I would like to hire someone to help with...

Does it matter if you mount your panels horizontal over vertically, is there an effect on their efficiency?

Question for those how have ordered from Gobel Power. I ordered 32 cells (Eve MB30) and 2 Gobel Power diy cases from Gobel. I chatted with "Ellie" on their website for a few days about what I wanted and to confirm the Gobel Power case came with the new JK BMS or not and so on (which it does...

I had my eye on the EG4 18K inverter. I am looking for a solution to run panels, batteries, grid and generator. So it will auto switch from solar, batteries and to grid if the batteries get too low. I have a whole house generator right now that I would like to implement somehow as well to...
