Hello, rank beginner here.
I have just purchased a lux power 6,000 XP, a 14.3 KW wall mounted lithium battery, and (8) 545 Watt solar panels. My plan is to add another 8 panels within the next 6 months. I have a few questions. For the time being I plan to keep it completely separate from my household panel because I'm worried about unintentional back feeding to the grid. So I plan to take a number of circuits from my household panel to put into another smaller panel that I will power with solar. My first question is: These circuits are grounded to the household system and panel. Will this interfere with the grounding of the solar system? I imagine that I will be grounding the solar panels as well. How do I do this? With one or more grounding rods?
Another question is that the solar panels have to be situated about 400 ft from my house, do I need to beef up the wires coming from the solar panel to the house to avoid excessive line losses? I have not yet purchased these wires.
Thanks for any advice, and could you possibly phrase your advice as though I'm 12 yrs old?
