I recently purchased a 14'x8.5' vnose cargo trailer. Primarily to carry a side by side and camp in. I have been interested in solar for years but have never built a system. My plan is to fill the roof with panels. I want to know what would be the best system. I've been thinking 24v. My plan is to purchase a roof rack or do it myself. Should I do 12,24, or 48v. Should it be 100 watt panels or larger panels? Also, should it be individual components or an all in one system?
Lastly, my idea is to have a big enough system that could be plugged into the grid on my house. I live in Temecula CA. Would that be legal? If so approx. Cost of the grid tie part. And does that change what type of volt the system needs to be. Also I have 2 Honda generators I want to be able to plug into the system along with shore power. I originally thought I wanted my alternator to be able to charge the system while driving. But if that's a problem I was thinking I could just run the extremely quiet generator while driving. Thanks in advance for imput
