TL;DR
Proposed system for small backyard off-grid shed:
Full description:
I have a small backyard shed that sits about 30 feet from the house and currently has no power. I have artificial turf in the backyard that I'd rather not dig up to run power from the house so a small solar system seems like a reasonable alternative (plus I like to tinker).
The shed is fairly small so I'm limited to only two panels and need them to be under 96" long and under 54" wide. The system would be used to run an overhead LED light in the shed, charge my re-chargeable power tool batteries, some corded power tools (one at a time), and some outdoor LED string lights.
In the event of a power outage in the house I'd run some extension cables from the shed to the house to power a few essentials (fridge, few LED lights, and maybe the (natural gas powered) furnace blower.
I realize the system is probably under-panelled but I think most of the time the battery would be fully charged as typical use would be very light. I want the larger battery capacity in the event of an outage and could supplement with a small gasoline powered generator I already have if needed.
Would greatly appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks in advance!
