I'm quickly putting in my off grid system now. It's based on an AIMS 6Kw split phase low frequency inverter, 10Kwh Dakota LIFePo4 batteries and 12 panels that should produce about 12Kwh in 3 hours of sunlight. So we'll see how that works.
Try to convert your cash into real estate or assets for your home. Some cash will be necessary, for now. Just be prepared for a total dollar collapse. I'm not sure you can even buy real gold anymore.
That's pretty nice. I just have a small system, ground mount 2 panels, Samlex 2200w Inverter and Trojan golf cart batteries. The batteries were a huge hassle to get my hands on. I'll add 2 more panels but really even with some tree cover it works good, enough to charge everything, run lights, a window AC at night and a freezer. Just the minimum. I wired in a gas generator too but I never have to use it. Sundanzer freezers are so efficient it's ridiculous.
Thanks! That's good to hear it works well. I'm wondering how this will do for me. The important thing is to eliminate my dependency on public infrastructure.
