So I picked one of these up for a song (and a half) a while back on hopes of using at a later date. I have found very limited information on this system online which seems strange but it seems to be an early generation power wall type set up.
My later date is approaching now so I am trying to figure out my best way to utilize this with my future application.
I have 2 of these units; 1 is set up of 110v the other is 220v. The heart of the system is a Xantrex SW + 5548 inverter (or 2 with the sync cord in the 220v set up). These are 5500w true sine wave inverters that run on 48v DC. They came with 8 12v AGM batteries per system and it all fits inside the enclosure in the link.
Forward to today and my situation. I am buying a cabin in the mountains of Kentucky and want to go off grid and solar with this system hopefully being able to save me quite a bit of start up cost.
Will this be as easy as buying a solar panel array and charge controller to hook up to the batteries? Any help, guidance or lessons learned would be appreciated.
Thanks
