I am planning to put a small array at my place in the country in Alabama.

I want a degree of self sufficiency and there is not much sense in running a generator to power some small loads like lighting or rechargers..

Just a simple system with storage batteries and a inverter..

Most oil and gas lease sites have solar. It’s just a mast with 2 panels on them about 4 feet by 2 feet. They power the entire site normally. Keep in mind it’s usually 24VDC. For a 120/208 system, you’d need something a bit more robust.

WE are going to bite the bullet and put in a plug and play system for our mountain place when we get up there fulltime. At some point the grid will go down either from too much stress, hackers or physical sabateuge. $15,000 so I don’t have to wash clothes over a fire in the front yard and haul water. I’m no pioneer. :-)
