FYI Basic Solar Kit from Costco
Seems like a good DIY deal with all you get. 4 100w polycrystalline panels, 2000w PSW inverter, and looks like a Xantrex Trace C35Amp controller. http://www.costco.com/.product.100111497.ht...

QUESTION--------for home use how big a battery bank should one have?
They furnish a 2K inverter so I was basing my question on running it at near max. I have a backup home generator (6.5KW Onan) that runs on Gasoline or natural gas. If times get really bad and money is short/worthless I was thinking that solar would be needed.
I know the Cosco unit wouldn't keep a fridge going----at least I don't think it would.
I'm really trying to get a PLAN "B" together. :)
