Solar
I have reached the point where I am 99.999% sure on the components and scale of my specific solar system.
The heart of the system will revolve around the EG4 18kw all in one unit.
One of the reasons for using this inverter over the EG4 6000XP is the UL1741SB compliance in my county. The need for this specific UL listing is going to be required by code. Additionally, the amount of PV input is higher in a single 18kPV than 2 of the 6000XPs.
For the array I will most likely go with a pallet of these dudes
This array will be capable of producing 14.4kW per peak sun hour and I can simply run 4 strings of 9 panels in series into the 18kPV inverter.
For the Energy storage I will start with a full rack of these
A full 6-slot rack will provide 30.72kWh of storage capacity. Considering avoiding discharging the batteries down below 20%, I would be looking at about 24.57kWh of usable storage capacity with the ability to expand if needed with another rack and one 100amp hour battery at a time to meet my needs. The fire suppressant in the batteries is a hard stop in the system.
Adding all the bits and components up for the complete system will run right around $20k, hooking up to the utility company would be $26k and then a monthly bill.
