How much do you have invested in this system?

@Trex1268 About 6 Grand Tops Buddy I could Of went cheaper

I commented ealier about your system when it was half the size. It certainly has grown, but isn't your system still a little underpowered? Also, you're using it as a back up electrical system, but in the mean time are you still feeding the grid with your Inverter? I'm not criticising, simply inquiring. I'm in the developing stages of setting up a system right now, and was hoping to get some insight about what "NOT" to do, as well as "WHAT to do."

Thanks for your service Marine...

DAUSARMY.

Kenny do you know anything about solar pv shingles? It is a viable alternative to solar panels for those who don't want the obtrusive appearance of the panels sticking out like a sore thumb on the roof?

@dogfan4lyfe  I think They Are really Nice They should Work Great

@Alexplus20 Series Would Get Me 24 Volts Just Higher Voltage

[Alexplus20]

Would there be much difference had you @4:38 wired them up in series rather then parallel?-(Forgive the n00b.)

@Prancinglion1 This System Is when I first started Out You Sould See My System Now Buddy Thanks

Seems like a pretty good set up, but also expensive. I wonder if you should add more PV panels to better balance your system. I'm thinking the rechrage time with two panels might not be enough to keep up with your consumption during a power outage. With a 2000W inverter, you should be able to increase your PV array quite a bit. Thanks for sharing info about your system.
