I am trying to put together my first solar system to prepare for possible long-term power outages at our home. We are on a tight budget so I'm trying to not waste money on my DIY mistakes. I've been watching Will's videos but a lot of this is just over my head and I'm having a hard time with figuring out how to size the wiring. Based on Will's reviews, I think I want to go with an MPP Solar LV6548 all-in-one with 2 SOK 100Ah 48v batteries to get started. I can get a good price on 250w Canadian used solar panels (model CSP-250PX). Would someone be so kind as to tell me how many panels this would support and also what wiring I would need to run 100' to the panel array, what size from battery to battery, and what size from the batteries to the LV6548? When I've read the replies on many of the other threads, I get lost when the answer includes a lot of abbreviations and technical jargon is used. Please try to dumb it down for me because I don't think I'm quite as sharp as I used to be.
