I’m planning on having a small, 800 sqf, Amish Cabin built within the next 2 years. I want to eventually build a solar backup system myself, that will run the entire cabin. I’ve built a small solar system in my RV, so I have some basic knowledge, but for the next 1-2 years I will be coming back here for more!
Having said the above, when I order the cabin to be built, what would be the best thing to have the builder install to my 200 amp load center to accommodate my future solar system? I know I could ask for a transfer switch, but is there anything else I should have them install? Also, I would like specific make models of a transfer switch or any other device, if anyone has experience with them? My space will be very limited for the entire system, it might have to share a small utility closet, so size will matter!
thanks in advance!
