First bit of advice: Don't buy anything else till you have the full plan... Far too often I see folks on the forum buy the wrong equipment and then have problems trying to put it all together. It is like buying a truckload of building materials without having a plan for the house you want to build.

What do you mean by 'continuous'? If you mean it will run 3.5KW constantly, that is a huge system. That leads me to my next bit of advice; do an energy audit/energy plan. This will define what you need and help size the system. There are various online tools for it or you can use this spreadsheet:

System Energy Audit and Sizing Spread Sheet

To get the spreadsheet, click on the orange button at the top of this page. This sheet is intended to help you plan your system. Fill it out down to the last decimal place, look at the results..... and then make your best guess;) Notes...
