Hello to all. So, I had a solar guy try to sell me a 100k system for 21k of pv and 30kwh of battery... So after he quickly left I began stumbling through videos, forum, etc... I have a horrible electric company to deal with if I go solar and they really make it hard. Fist $45 fine (recoup fee), and then I pay a tariff of $3 per kw my system size is. Their idea of net metering is .03 . Well I am definitely not wanting to participate in that.
I cannot afford to attempt to offset my power consumption 100% but Id like to offset some and build on as $$ permits. I have 2 200amp panels that feed 1 meter. My thought was to take one of the panels off and put it off grid and adjacent to the grid? I have no interest in giving back to the grid and would only want to use them for what I cannot produce. Is there a way to achieve this without dealing with their theft? Or is there a better way to be thinking about this.
I thought about using victron however the AIO are appealing and seem like allot less clutter. I have so much clutter all ready with 5 kids and a farm lol.
Thank you all.
