Where to buy solar products?

[dieselrealtor]

Been trying to learn how some of this works with loads, etc. Looking for a small'ish (panels, batteries & inverter/charger) system to run 240v well pump & other necessities. Possibly to be moved to offgrid cabin in the future. Hoping for something that can be added onto if need be in the future.

I have been looking at;

santansolar.com
shopsolar.com

Any other recommendations?

thanks in advance.

I’ve bought some items from bluettipower.com. Ranges from relatively small capacity to over 5kw.

I got everything from Amazon. 2160 watts of solar and 600 ah of batteries, charge controllers, inverters wire and everything else.

Is the Harbor Freight stuff too crappy to use? I have zero experience with solar other than a sunburn.

Not sure. Never messed with Harbor Freight stuff. Depend on the panel warranty. Mine have a 25 year warranty. My system will be 10 years old next year. Only thing I've had to replace was the batteries 2 years ago.

Ive actually heard the Harbor Frieght panels are a decent value.

Looking at my original post, I didn't put correct/enough info.

I was thinking about something like this, along with around 5kw-8kw of panels;

EG4 6000XP w/ EG4 LL-S 10.24KW Battery Kit | SanTan Solar

IN STOCK NOW! Welcome to the future of off-grid energy solutions, where independence, reliability, and affordability converge.

Something to run most household stuff (managed load), except AC.

I was thinking about starting with a basic set up...something just to charge phones and batteries or maybe run a computer or TV.

I used a P3 kill a watt meter when I first started. It will tell you the power consumption of what ever you plug in to it. You'll need those numbers to decide how many panels you want to start with.

Jeephammer is deep into this and has a wealth of knowledge. Think he still has part of a semi load of panels too if you're willing to go to him. May have a couple inverters left too. PM me if you need his contact info.

Thomas Massie bought a wrecked Tesla for his battery bank since Tesla wouldn't sell him a power wall w/o being hooked to the grid.
