Off-Grid Innovator
Hello!
I am new to solar and have been learning a ton over the past two weeks. I am looking into building an off-grid system that can provide 6000 watts per hour (144kWh per day) 24/7. I’ve been looking at combining some wind to compliment the solar. Maybe one or two 1000w turbines. The average sunlight in my area (west Texas) is about 12 hours per day.
It seems like there are a lot of options to build a DIY system. It gets a little overwhelming with the inverters and voltages. The complete kits I’ve looked at online also seem to greatly increase the costs however so I’d prefer to do DIY if feasible.
Is it feasible to build this type of system? What do you think it would cost if I did do DIY?
