I'm finally in a situation on some new land i can dive into solar. My plan over next 12 months is start small to learn and then more to larger.
My goal is understand how to setup and build a whole house solar solution myself (except for advanced electrical connection to grid). I have done some homework and research sizing the systems (even though I still have lots to learn).
Here are my plans of projects (FYI links to products i found is just me searching around, I have found it hard as a newbie to sift through and find the right products at best price, so I did my best, suggestions welcome):
1. Off-grid small pole mount solar charger to charge/run cell phone 24/7 (should look a lot like those solar powered road signs). All this plus pole, mount approx $100.
2. Off-grid small array for shed like this 200W kit in which i'd just need to add a 100A lead acid battery and inverter. All of it together from Renogy is about $800.
3. On-grid + battery back for new home with this 11.4kW system priced at $17k.
Will this sort of progression in project #1 and #2 prepare me to build and make good decisions on implementing #3? Thank you
