TNTRVING - Nice jog on the illustrations of your install! Thanks for sharing it...

We added one other component for our five panels. Which is inline CB's for each of out 5 panels pathway to the controller. This way we can isolate each each panel for trouble shooting power output.

Enjoy your power!!!

What’s the approximate cost of starting from scratch to build a system like yours? Not including labor.

amsolar coated just over 12 grand installed with labor/i ended up doing the install myself from scratch cost me around 7000.00 give or take with the battleborn lithium batteries around 10000.00 give or takeso with the 30% tax break ended up spenting between 7 to 8 all this is just a rough guess without looking at my receipt
