Here is a typical do it yourself installation of batteries and inverter.
The 3 section box contains an inverter in the first section, and batteries in the other 2 sections. An Iota 24 volt battery charger is in the small box above the battery box. On cloudy or foggy days the gasoline generator can be used to power the battery charger. The addition of a wind turbine in the future should eliminate the need for a generator.
The 24 volt inverter can handle up to 3500 watts continiously. The charge controllers were relocated to a cabinet on the wall when more controllers were needed for extra panels.
The first set of 8 batteries are in serious need of maintenance. Trojan T-105 deep cycle are a common battery for solar installations.
