Hello. First time posting and hoping to get some feedback from all the experienced forum members.
We recently purchased property in NorCal (affected by the previous 2017 fires). There is a small structure that survived (one car garage with an adjacent living area). Will only need to power some lights for now, but may want design for additional loads over time. Plan on replacing the load center and tweaking the wiring. Structure was built in 1977! We'll only be up there on weekends, boys riding dirt bikes, fishing and just hanging out...
1. Contemplating a 12V or 24V system. Liking the all in one MPP options (1012LV, 2424LV)
2. Seems like I'm stressing too much on the batteries. The more I read, the more I'm all over the map. Looking at Battle Born, Trojan, Big Battery, etc...
3. I'll have access to panels. If not, I'll buy some 100w Poly off of Amazon. May have access to some Tesla panels as we are actually having the Tesla roof installed at our primary residence.
4. No immediate plans to grid power or use generators.
I'm very comfortable with all the electronics (being a EE). Always try to follow the KISS methodology (keep is simple stupid) but looking to design a cool little system.
Appreciate any feedback.
Thx
