Hi All,
I'm hoping to get some guidance on a project I'm looking to build for my cabin. Right now we have grid power that we use, which works fine, but we are interested in setting up a backup solar system should the need arise. Its a small cabin, 800 square feet, with two bedrooms and 1 bathroom. We have a septic and a well and typical devices including, 7 lights, two laptops, 1 55 inch TV (not a necessity), PS3 (again not needed), microwave (not used often), fridge, electric water heater (probably won't put this on the solar system) and a pump (I believe it is a 1/2 HP, but I'll double check). I have been watching Will's youtube channel trying to learn as much as I can and based on my expertise level (low) I'm thinking about an all-in-one set up. Below is the set up I am considering, I would like your feedback on if this is feasible or not even close. And if I'm way off any suggestions would be appreciated.
1. Growatt 24V SPF 3000TL LVM
2. 2000 watts of solar panels (10 x 200 watt panels)
3. 2 x AGM Batteries (VMAX MR127-100)
4. ECO-WORTHY 6 String PV Combiner Box & 63A Circuit Breakers for Solar Panel
5.All needed cords and accessories
I'm going for a budget build and trying to follow the guide below.
Thoughts, suggestions?
