Howdy,
A few year ago we built a new house in NE Saskatchewan( 52.5°N)from the ground up with all lumber logged and milled ourselves. As I've been cash poor and labour/resource rich it's been a slow process. We have grid power temporary service but really don't want to be on grid at all. It's costly and temperamental at best, as I live in the forest and outages are common.
The plan is to build the solar system in 3 stages starting with 16kw solar, 2-6000xps and 200-400 ah 48v lifepo4.
I have a south facing roof 40' long free from obstructions and the utilities building is heated and shares space with water storage and heating equipment. I plan to build panel racking from strut. I already own a substantial set of tools and will acquire( within reason) any other tools I require.
Any "knowledge" I have about solar energy production is the result of my own research so any useful help/advice would be much appreciated. I'm planning to begin purchases in February so to begin work in April.
Thanks in advance!
