Newbie to the house side of things and sitting on these 10k of solar panels so might as well tie into grid. My homes electricity co-op has net metering and I don't care about power loss as its super stable and i have an RV and other homes. Energy usage is on average 2500kWh and bill total is about $300 so i'd like to hit close to that number.
Is there any point in having batteries or an output if I just want to pump electricity to the grid?
Whats the best inverter/charge controller for my needs? There seems to be a huge price difference for what appears to be identical models. Also I'm a victron guy and they don't do US grid stuff apparently.
Looks like the electric company has to come out and do something when I install, any idea on what they do or anything I need to worry about?
On top of this my RV sits in my driveway with 3k of solar and my trailer might have 1k-2k of panels. Any ideas how to connect this? The RV goes through Victron Quattro and has a 30amp shore so maybe send it through? The trailer will have some plug to connect to the RV when we use it but when at home would like some way to use the solar.
