I'll be using materials mostly obtained from China (helps to be near a port city) because all the stuff comes from there, anyway. I can get 500 watts of solar panels at 36V for $100 plus shipping. Charge controller from there, too. I can get two 12V 100ah li-ion batteries for $1000. *Two.* No brainers, really.
Yeah, yeah I know, buy American, American workers. No. Just no. I have made many decisions with those two things in mind, but at my age and income level, I no longer have the choice of doing that and frankly, considerations I must not utter, here, leave me apathetic about all that. I'm doing what's best for my family, and it's not open to debate. Besides, where do you think Renogy gets THEIR panels?
