I have an existing 25 panel solar array utilizing Q-cell G6+ 340w each with an Enphase IQ Combiner 3 panel. Excess production feeds back into the grid.
I am considering a DIY project by adding battery backup to the system to provide sufficient backup during a power outage to run my 3.5 ton AC system plus a couple of appliances including the refrig/freezer.
I am looking at the Ethos battery module and inverter promoted on YouTube (

My power panel is in the garage with sufficient adjacent space to mount the battery equipment.
I would like your help in recommending and sizing a system that is simple and cost effective.
