Everybody is all for it. I hope the price can come down to 2.50 per watt, otherwise the rich will get "richer" and the poor get "poorer" in terms of energy costs. But it will all help, when anyone buys solar, there will be "grid power" available without brownouts.

Hey,
Sorry it took so long to reply.

If you are going to be off grid, you don't need an inverter. Solar panels generate DC current which is the same type of power in a battery or a motorhome.

You need something called a charge controller, but the purpose of an inverter is to change DC power to AC power to run the normal AC current devices in your home or business. If you are going to be 100% off-grid, you will need to use batteries and DC appliances and devices.
