Do you use a regular inverter or micro-inverters (Enphase or similar) with your solar? How much solar? Any thoughts on the choices you made there?

I use a Heart, with a built-in 100 amp charger.

That way, if I have to run a generator, like for the well or a large power tool, I can put the excess output of the generator into the batteries.

I also have a 1500 watt Xantrex inverter as an offline backup to the Heart.

The total output of the main bank of PV panels is 900 watts, and I also have a smaller bank setup separately that keeps all of my spare equipment batteries fully charged.
