I don't want to sell my solar energy back to the utility!

I want my solar panels charging batteries to provide power to a SEPARATE CIRCUIT!

It will power my water well and pressure tank, and gas utilities, and a few critical items like freezer and fridge.

No TV, A/C, few lights, no washer/dryer.

Means a separate 4 gang outlet in the utility room, and similar in kitchen.

We live on a sail boat in a mooring field. We got 660w in Solar and 300ah of Lithium.

We don’t sell anything back to anyone, but, occasionally have to run our little Honda Generator for rainy days.

Ok, do it. I have it both ways.

Freep mail me your zip code and I’ll help ya.

“I don’t want to sell my solar energy back to the utility!”

I’ve looked into off-grid solar for my Florida house.

I personally would probably want separate 120- and 240-volt systems, with the 120-volt system having battery backup.

The reasons being to save on inverter costs and to avoid frying 120-volt equipment with 240-volt electricity.

I’ve done nothing since the solar stuff seems more suited to Chinese village and Third World installation than for larger American installations.

Battery technology needs to be refined for both solar panels and EVs. So I regard current state-of-the-art for solar panels and EVs as necessary pioneering work.

So, what’s the problem? Feeding a separate circuit is brain dead simple.

BTTT!!
