What is Reddit's opinion of Install Your Own Solar Panels: Designing and Installing a Photovoltaic System to Power Your Home?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Labor was my own. I bought all my new panels at santansolar.com. 20x 285 panels. $2100

2× outback flex80 chargers $1300

1x 5500 watt inverter $1000 ( I use the older heavy xantrax inverters)

Batteries about $2400

Misc cables $500

I am currently upgrading to lithium.

I you don't know anything about solar get this book:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L83TSZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_G7DAP9059443FPVRNMYJ

It has cable sizing calculation and system sizing requirements for a given consumption.

Plenty of you tube videos also!

My solar installer wanted $32k to do this for me!👀 No thank you!

Also, if you need a well pump, use a grunfoss... mine only uses 650-750 watts. I have it on separate panels, because no batteries required. Its a direct connect! Mine pumps about 275 gallons an hour.

Another site is batteryhookup.com if you want to really get dirty and in there like some of us.

I am already upgrading to be able to charge two electric cars at the time.

Warning: Getting into solar is very addictive!
