I’m starting a new 1800 sq ft build and went totally off grid. The power company wanted $25k to run the line plus I’d have to cut around $10k in timber for a right of way. I’m in Arkansas and will ground mount these panels, and they’ll have plenty of southern sky. This really makes me nervous, but should this handle my new home? I plan on all electric-natural gas isn’t available, and I really don’t want propane if I don’t have to. I’ll use mini split AC, and I’ve already dug my well close to my brothers house and he will power it. Im running close to 2000’ of water line-drilling cost significantly less because of the elevation change.
I will install a back up generator (maybe a generac 22k-still figuring it out), and I’ll have a battery charger for the genny.
This is the system that Signature Solar sold me. We were doing a lot of guessing about power consumption and decided to see how this goes and increase it if need be.
I’ll buy new energy efficient appliances and I’ll also have a wood insert for heat.
Think this is doable?
