Really enjoying digging through the Forums to gain knowledge. So much to learn. Like some of you (or not), I am happy to dig through the datasheets of the different Inverters/batteries/Panels/MPPT units.
Having lived through Hurricane Sandy and no power for 12 days (transformer blew in my neighborhood), I got by with a Champion 3500W generator.
Since then have played with ~200 Amp 12V SLA battery and Pure Sine-wave Inverter (1000 watts).
Built a DIY Power Pack [LINK: ]
Now thinking about building a backup unit similar to Will's Mobile Hand Truck unit. 3-5K, a 48V battery or 2, and some panels to put out in the yard.
Noting permanent at the moment, as I would like to move into my forever home in a year or 2.
I am from the Telecom world where -48V is pretty much everywhere. Yep, Negative 48 Volts. You just have to stand on your head when you are troubleshooting, no big deal ;-)
