I really appreciate any help I could get.
I have a typical residential house on 1/2 acre. Our electric bill is high. I want a "solar setup with batteries" that I can run off-grid that will lower my electric bill.
Would like to:
1) lower my electric bill/offset the cost of solar setup by running an air conditioner window unit.
2) have the ability in a power outage to divert this battery power away from the AC to a few appliances instead.
3) ideally this system would be able to operate the appliances and solar charge the batteries at the same time.
4) a system I can expand and eventually turn into grid tied.
5) I was interested in the enphase microinverters with battery storage because of some tree coverage in my area but was told this wasn't a viable option??
