We have a house boat at Lake Powell, Utah. At the lake, we are completely off grid with just a back up 12.5 westerbeke generator. We have been updating and upgrading it over the years. This past year we upgraded the ac system to geothermal and 12v to 24v conversion. Here's our current set up:
9 panel 320w each for 2880 total watts
Batteries are storz battery 30.7kw
Sol-Ark 12 k inverter
We can run the ac for 4-6 hours at night just on the batteries. Ideally, I'd like to be able to run for 10 hrs on just batteries. We do have kitchen appliances, lights, and pumps hooked up as well. I'll take some pictures to upload later.
