Although I have lots of experience in both consumer and industrial electronics and electro-mechanical systems, I have never tinkered with solar power. For my very first solar project, I am considering putting together an off-grid system to charge my 2014 Chevy Volt (level 2, 240VAC supplied charger, Volt internal charger is 3.6kW).
I just don't know if it worth the expense, even though the experience alone may make it worth it.
If I could also use the system to power my well pump during a power outage, that would be a great bonus!
Here is what I am considering:
I'd like to try and get everything from one seller, if possible, to help with any possible service/support issues.
Is this not enough power, or overkill?
Am I on the right track?
Would it be worth it?
Thanks for any feedback!

- EG4 LiFePOWER 48V 100Ahr -----> $1500
- Growatt 48V 5kW LVM-ES 240V, 100A MPPT PVm=450V (Split Phase Capable?) ------> $900
- (6) 195W Monocrystalline 96cell 48V (Voc=69V) used Sanyo solar panels ------> $325
