We have managed to find and work out deals on a lot of our solar system. Every one heres oh 25,000 or 50,000 in a set up na if you take ur time and search around for the product that u want to use u can really find deals on them. That's what we did here check out what we have we are still looking for another inverter and we will find it at a good deal.I posted 5 pics of what is going on I'm going to do something else with the battery bank. Thanks for looking.
My 3,000 dollar solar set up
- Thread starter Firewood
- Start date
12 panels at 215w the inverter is the fx2024 I'm looking for 2 3524s or just one and I can buy the 3524 board and put it in my 2024 and make it a 3524 its cheaper theres 15 24v batteries 8 Chevy volt and 7 ford cmax I have 9 hooked up and it runs the cabin with ac, refrigerator, deep freezer and shed with table saw and big miter saw. It is unbelievable how much it runs I was shocked. I tried to drain the battery bank. I even ran a shop vac for over an hour and it was still going. I have a turbine to put up for night time this way it can keep it top off hopefully. I thought I would blow up something but it didn't it didn't even kick a breaker. I even have a Nissan leaf battery disconnect for the battery bank u can see it on the left of the fw500 ac box.
I came across a retired engineer who was selling his panels they took off his house and a company put new ones up he only had them on is roof for a year and a half he kept asking me what I was going to do with 15,000 worth of panels I wasn't paying attention to that cause I was checking them to see if they worked so I told him what I was doing and I offered him 300 and he said ok. When I got home I kept thinking about what he said 15,000 so I looked up all the information on the back of the panels and looked it up the 12 panels were almost 16,000 unbelievable. He ask me to send him pictures of it when I was done. He was interested in the off grid cabin we built
SO clean Love the green light.

Works in theory! Practice? That's something else
I'm not sure what all those part numbers are (2.58kW PV array, 2kW Outback Inverter, and some number of watt-hours of batteries?), but I suspect you'd have the lowest $/W on What should you pay for a Solar Installation?

Thats a pretty big price for 12 panels at 215w . Install looks great . A bit beyond me though with those battery packs . Never seen them over here in OZ. Sounds like they are getting fairly buyable there. 24 V is a good start but can you move up to 48V ?
Oh those ground mount arrays are beautiful. Very nice system. Looks amazing!
