It’s 6am. I woke up because my CPAP stopped. It’s going to be a long day.
It’s a bit cold outside, so I’ll have to fire up my little generator if it goes too long. That’s a pain in the ass.

Foresee republicans fucking up the residential solar tax credit.
Act quickly on the design I had already outlined.
Modify south part of my roof to relocate all vents to the north (while doing a full roof replacement).
Extended shop 20’ to fit the remaining (of 65) industrial panels needed for a 36kW system.
Add 75kWh battery setup with two inverters and a single controller for it all.
Spend lots of money to secure what I wanted and the 30% tax credit before cap’n Kruger and Fiends fucked it all up.
Was a shit load of work but I did enjoy the process and the results.
Wow that is a MASSIVE setup!
I barely have a 3000W BLUETTI that powers everything, and I have a new 6000XP I haven’t hooked up yet with 2 rack batteries from eco-worthy. That ate up my budget lol Oh and I have half a pallet of new old stock panels I got for super cheap $45 each 250W panels.
Nice. Sometimes you just have to start somewhere to get your feet wet but if it powers everything that’s great!
I designed this to provide power for 100% of my entire property in worst case conditions with 15% overhead for additional loads. Then I added another 20% to cover system degradation.
I want it to still be 100% off grid when the entire thing has degraded by 20% lol. That was my basis.
In 4.5 months I’ve produced 17MW. Which is outstanding.
My biggest issue is having a large house with two central AC units. The power draw on hot nights is immense. So the only thing I undersized was the battery system. Plan to add one more 14.3 kWh battery to get that extra 20%.
That’s impressive, good job on sizing it for your needs.
That’s a nice setup, I use the Luxpower version of those inverters. When I put up my shop I’ll have to extend my 20kW/43kWh system. We don’t have tax credits here so I couldn’t get the nice stuff, I had to build my own batteries to keep costs down.
I like where the prices of all this stuff is going.
Bravo! 👏👏👏
Thanks for the outline!
