The panels, inverter/charger, and battery make up the majority of the expenses. Obviously the exact configuration (i.e. lengths of wiring, etc) will be different for everybody. But roughly - what were your costs for all the little things and with what # of panels? Wiring, terminals, mounting...

I'm considering pairing a Victron Smartsolar MPPT with an EG4 LifePower4 Rack. I've been reading about the different BMS and communication systems from each manufacturer but nothing that really talks about connecting the two together and guiding through that process. It's not just plug them...

I'm planning an "off-grid" setup for a mini-split AC running off most likely EG4 system/battery and 4 solar panels. The AC compressor and 4 panels will be near each other in my backyard with the EG4 in my garage. I will need to run both the 120v line and the solar panel feed through the side of...

I'm planning on putting solar on my roof but I have to wait on a few other things first. I'd really like to get a couple panels that I can pair with a 5kw 48v battery (such as the Eg4 rack) in case of a hurricane or other extended power outages. I have a 12v inverter but I don't want to invest...

I just cannot get the end cap screwed on even with pliers. It will start by hand but then tighten up and go no further. These are name brand Stäubli from Signature Solar and TEMCo 10 gauge solar panel wire. I bought name brand quality to avoid issues like this! I did exactly what all the youtube...

Meant to be for emergency power and also run a few small things to reduce my electricity bill. It's a temporary solution until I can put a full solar system on my roof. Might add an AC to DC charger later but for now, don't really want to expand beyond a bare minimum (which is very tempting!).

So battery wiring needs to be the same length, I got that. If I wanted to space out some solar panels - physical location maybe 50 feet apart, but with different wiring paths into the house where they would eventually meet. The wire lengths would obviously be different by dozens of feet, would...
