Need suggestion for small back-up solar system.

[edweather]

I need to design and build a small solar system. Just battery backup, no grid tie. Had a small system many years ago consisting of 4 rooftop panels, a voltage controller, Xantrex inverter, and eight 6 volt trojan golf cart batteries. I'd like to build something a little bigger. I did see a nice ground mount rack kit EG4 Brightmount, but that's as far as I've gotten. Trying to stay out of the weeds, so I'm asking for a simple solution for something like a 2kw system. Thanks, Ed

simple solution for something like a 2kw system.

Is that 2kW of solar or 2kW load handling?
Or 2kWh battery?

If you want Simple then you can't beat one of the MPP 2424 or a Growatt 3Kw AIO and a nice hefty 24v 200ah LFP battery to go with it. 2Kw of panel support and good solid output.

Thanks, much appreciated, will check them out.

Pretty excited about scoring this inverter. Price seemed almost too good. $478 no tax and free shipping.
