If I was to build solar I’d do it this way:
10 panels (100 watts $400 ea) - $4k
Controller/charger about $3k
Batteries to allow minimal usage at night, 6 to 12 marine 12v at about $1k
Plenty of electrical/engineering ingenuity: priceless
So maybe $10,000
Good luck.
1,000 Watts peak capacity during the summer afternoon.
How much power is this system going tp produce on average?
Maybe 200 watts average? Less through the winter?
A really good deep cycle battery would provide 75 Amp-Hour rating.

12 batteries times 12 volts times 6.25 amps for 12 hours equals 900 watthours. Evenly spaced out over 12 hours you can draw 4 amps at 120V.
Big difference the power consumption at 240V and 12V.
Trying running your oven or air condition off of those.
Also after three years of fully charging and discharging those batteries every day, you are not going to have half that capacity left.
