solar connect to house wire

[trslhug]

I am going to build a small shed (new build 10' x 10'). I plan to wire it for electricity (I can include a breaker box if needed to hook solar to wiring) but I will not hook up to the grid for several years (or ever). In the meantime, I want to use solar to power lights, ventilation fan, small appliance. The aforementioned would only be run periodically (except the fan, this would run continuously but it would be a small fan). I want to know how to connect the solar to the actual shed wiring so that I could use the switches and outlets as if I did have electricity hooked up. Is it possible?

Need to purchase a battery and inverter. And possibly a solar charge controller if not going AIO.

Need to know your loads and run times to calculate the battery AH and solar wattage needed

As near as I can figure, the items to be powered are:
Bathroom fan with light: Fan = 40 W Light 20 W
Outside motion sensor light: 110 60 W
Keurig: 68 Wh
Kobalt battery: 40V
LED flush-mounted ceiling lights: total 240 W
Cell phones
Hair dryer: 2000 W ( < 15 minutes a day)
Computer fan: 4 W (24/7)

Based on the above, what kind of system would I need to have...build or buy a package AND then hook up to my AC wiring

Forgive my ignorance, I am a true newbie.

All this sound good for a simple 12V system.
Some panels, SCC, 3000W inverter and 12V battery. This will work. The variable is how long it will work depending of time of the year and solar/battery capacity.
Solar panel are cheap, so don't hesitate to put 1 kW and more.
Find 400-500W panel locally is the best because cost for the shipping of large panel is important.

if you do a 12v system, you need to be careful with choosing the right battery.
for the 2000w hair dryer (??? 1500w?) you will be pulling ~170 amps at 12.8v.
you absolutely must buy a battery that can do at minimum 200A of discharge for this.
so you're looking more at 12v 280ah class batteries.

I'd go with like 3 used big panels ~300-350w class panel, you can usually find someone selling used panels for 10-15 cents/watt locally
900w of solar is plenty for this

Here is a simple diagram of how you could set an AIO to power your shop (sub panel) while maintaining grid feed capability. You could skip the Transfer switch since most AIO's have an internal one but it is handy to have the external switch for system repair.

Thank you all thus far. I am sure I will have more questions as time nears to buy/set everything up.
