I meant to I'll have 18 panels in total... my small 3 panel set up will repurposed.. so them 3 panels will go into the whole set up..
Charge controller is going to be 2x EpEver 60A controllers ( 9 panels on each one 3s3p ) 12 on the roof and 6 on the ground racks.
Inverter is an AIMES 120V 2kw - 6kw surge.. I will not be totally off grid.. but my system will be running circuits that are totally isolated.
My power co. does not support solar.
I have 3 battery banks ready and wired up with the BMS's you suggested.. I need to order 3 more soon.
My plan is to get half of it up and running ( 9 panels, 1 charge controller and charge 3 strings of batteries for now, til i get the funds to buy the rest of my supplies.
as for my loads... i plan to run all the lights in the house, 2 fridges, microwave, tv, washing machine etc.. most items are intermittent use..
I just got me a Kill-O-Watt meter.. so i can estimate how much power my fridges will use. I plan to also install dedicated solar outlets in the house as well... I found some nice Yellow colored outlets made by Levington. The Inverter also has a built in battery charger if i ever choose to use it.
I been rearranging my home made solar rack to fit the bigger panels. almost done...Just need to find someone to help me get the panels up there.
