Wondering what we chose?

Well, after much deliberation, calculation, and research we went with:

• 400W Solar
• 200Ah Lithium Batteries (with space for a third)
• 3000W Inverter Charger

Choosing your components can be hard, so we’ve made a list of everything that went into our electrical system. We chose to go with mostly Renogy components. By doing this we ensure that everything can work together and talk to each other.

Bonus: we can monitor our entire system (minus the inverter) from our phones over bluetooth! No shunt or battery monitor needed.
