Hey all, I am new to solar so have a lot to learn. My wife and I are purchasing a new house in rural area with some land. We have lots of open space to put up a large solar array. To start I would like to tie into our current electricity provider but eventually add batteries and go off grid but trying to save some cost up front and deal with expanding in a year or 3.
I run a business from home that uses a decent amount of power and in our current house we use about 100kWh per day total for home and business of electricity. So I would like enough panels that will on average cover this power usage in the summer (as winter usage is a slightly less due to less AC usage). Recommendations on which panels and how many would be needed? Also what all other equipment will be needed to tie into the electrical grid? I assume the power company will need to be involved at some point as well.
Thanks for any information to get me started!
