Hi there! Been lurking around here for a while and got involved in a few posts, just wanted to introduce myself. I've been diving into solar systems as they primarily pertain to marine environments for my small sailboat that I'm working on. But, I have pondered looking into an off-grid solar system for my dad's barn out on his farm as a good way to learn and experiment haha.
Anyway, I would love to do something with solar at my house but oddly enough I think having roof-mounted panels is against the terms of my HOA in my neighborhood, which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. But I digress. Although I did have some ideas that might let me skirt some of those limitations. Would not be a robust system, but if nothing else might give me some battery backup for critical appliances as we do tend to get severe storms in this area fairly often.
Thanks for all the info here on this forum and all the help! This is a valuable resource for folks like me trying to learn all this stuff and get up to speed.

May have to get creative haha. I do have one section of my back yard fence that I considered mounting a couple of panels to it. Receives sunlight almost all day and it would probably work fairly well.
