After watching Will's Vid on the Canadian Solar System I'm tempted to buy the Kit from Signature.
"Canadian Solar EP Cube Energy Storage System - All-In-One Solar Backup Power - 19.8kWH [KIT-C0000]"
Though Will is recommending the Aptos solar panels right now so I will have to see what the swap would be?

I'm building a 3-4 bed 2-3 bath off grid home on the western slope of Colorado, Elevation 6500, so we get snow.
I'm planning on building a mechanical shed first to house the Solar Controller and Battery system, water pump and RO system.
Just outside that a ground mount solar array, I haven't looked at racking systems yet but I'm thinking of something that I could move so I can play with the angles.

What do you think?
 
We used to have an off grid property in Colorado, and all I can say is you better plan on putting in a backup generator. We also used a surprising amount of power from a little wind turbine.

Personally I'd look into a Victron system. Modular systems are much easier to repair and Victron is known to last forever.
