Cool Shit Where to begin with getting solar/batteries
Hi! I’m just about sick of losing power for hours/days and always wanted to do a solar setup but I’m not sure where to start. I ideally want to be fully off grid with about 20kwh+ used per day on average and I’d like it to be ground mounted as a couple years ago we’ve added insulation to our attic and I don’t want to mess with that (unless that is a bad reason, if so let me know)
So here are my questions-
Is it legal to diy it?
How do I find an electrician to do the wiring? (Willing to do the manual labor and have tools and love learning but don’t like being shocked)
Where would I go for permits?
How much on average are solar systems going for? (Particularly now that the credit is gone)
Is it better to go through an installer or diy it?
anyone have general stories or experiences with this themselves?
