I guess I never really mentioned what I got, as far as batteries. They are Some off brand amazonian 12.8v 100ah, got 4 and wired them in series for a 48v system, got the powMr 60 amp charge controller, and some kind of 48v-110 inverter, cheapest possible from amazon as well. I drove out to Gilbert az to SanTan solar to pick up the panels. They are the “cracked vinyl” 240watters. I painted the backs with some henry brand elastomeric roof coating, hopefully that was a good idea, who knows. We will find out tomorrow.
I got 9 20’ sticks of 2” x 1/8” angle iron for the racks.
So far I have spent 2500$ on this project including 225$ in fuel to drive 800 miles round trip to pick up the panels. I got 14 because I figured I might drop one of the roof or who knows, so I wanted 2 spares.
I will mention that I had a pleasant expirence at San Tan solar, I dealt with David, he answered all my questions, and within 45 min, I had the panels loaded and a box full of custom made wires/connectors. The gal that built the wires was quite attractive.
