Greetings All,
This looks like a good forum for me in my, now over a year, research on building a solar system. I live in West Virginia and live solely on my SS income. I have an over powering need to construct a hybrid solar system in my back yard. Inasmuch as I have an exceedingly low spending threshold, and I need a 10+Kw system, the approach I have chosen to take is to start by building something like a 3Kw system that I can expand as my capital permits, until my needs are met, and hopefully, exceeded. It would also be pleasant to sell my excess to the power company and make some little bit of income instead of paying a couple hundred $ a month.
So, any way, my plan is to get the best stackable split phase inverter I can get for around $1400, as a base, and start building from there. Work on getting enough panels to put together a simple grid-tie system with the intention of eventually accumulating enough hardware to have a fulling functioning hybrid system that meets my needs, and keep build from there.
Some of the advice I've read here is NOT to buy something from China (for various and sundry reasons related to support and quality). I'm hoping to draw on experience from knowledgable, informed people here to help me complete my research before I make my first inverter purchase.
Well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. So, where do I start?
With immense hope,
Clark
