DIY & and a year in on our solar porject.
My wife and I are currently in the middle of a DIY solar integration. While the project is still a work in progress, the core infrastructure is operational and supporting a significant portion of the daily load. I have learned a lot and want to contribute as well as contiune to learn tips from the community.
- Inverter: EG4 6000XP Off-Grid Smart Inverter
- Storage: EG4 LL-S LiFePO4 Battery Bank (48V Nominal)
- PV Array: 420W Monocrystalline Panels (Currently ground-mounted for testing; roof installation pending)
The system is currently supporting a 2kW peak load. We have successfully offloaded the following circuits:
- Master bedroom and bathroom
- Secondary 120V water pump
- Refrigeration and deep freeze units
- Majority of IoT infrastructure and electronics
- Kitchen outlets and high-draw appliances (coffee maker)
- 50% of the remaining household outlets and lighting
Feel free to ask questions regarding.
Cheers!
