Right on, thanks

@BentleyJ @ElectricIslander I'm curious what your opinions are on a Victron system vs the Schneider, any thoughts there?

This is something you build, not buy, generally speaking. I have a book on how to design and build them, I haven't read it yet but will soon.

Right on, thanks. For space heating I'll be doing a rocket mass heater, which is an extremely efficient wood-burning system - so no draw from my solar for that. I would also like to preheat my water in the winter by running it through the thermal mass of my rocket mass heater, that's something...

The panels are 400W on the front, 120W on the back = 520W total. Obviously that's under optimal conditions etc. but the 520 x 24 is the 12,400W PV. Appreciate the input on not putting all my eggs in one basket. I will keep that in mind. And I will check out the XW Pro, thanks for the suggestion

The 50kWh is the battery system. 10 x 100ah batteries (5,120w each) is roughly 50kWh. I have a small generator, but I have no intention of running a whole house generator to get through each winter. I understand this means cutting energy usage in the winter, which I'm fine with. Like I said I...

I am building a house this summer and will be putting in solar. Here's what I have planned so far, I'd love input on quality of parts and if you think it makes sense or if I should change something. Solar System 24 x 400w bifacial Canadian Solar Mono Panels - $207 each - $4,968 total 10 x...

I was looking at a local company for solar and they were using pylontech us5000 batteries which is about a 100ah battery for $3,300 - far more than many of the LiFePo4 batteries out there like SOK, Trophy, and EG4. I asked why they're so expensive and one of the reasons cited was the pylontechs...
