Hi,
I’m going to be building a log house myself this summer and will be using a shed as my base of operations. I’d like a solar setup just big enough to charge my power tool batteries, lights at night, etc. Once construction is complete I will have permanent power there so I don’t want to spend a fortune. Would love Victron stuff but I don’t think it’s in the cards.
My current plan is
2 6v Interstate Golf Cart Batteries from Costco, $100 Each
Aims 1500w Charger Inverter $515 PICOGLF15W12V120VR
Renogy 200s 12v Solar Premium Kit $367-
I listed above to see if anyone has better ideas in a similar price range.
My real question is that the shed is not conducive to having solar mounted on the roof due to the trees. I would like to basically lay them on the ground as I don’t want to permanently mount them yet since I might need to move them due to material deliveries and such.
I was planning on using RV mounts like this:

I’ll lay them on the ground and sandbag them to keep them from going anywhere. Is there a better method or something else I should consider?
Thanks
