I just built a system at my cabin this past summer. Put up 8 450w panels with 8 450a/h batteries series to make 48v. Using an outback radian inverter and outback mppt Solar charge controller. Cost me 10,000$ that stuff you are showing seems way over priced. I have a xantrex 3012 inverter/charger that I used to use that I might be selling. Probably ask 1000$ for that if your looking.

That sounds like quite the setup, what kind of run time do you get out of that?

Try this:

Battery

Charge Controller. Good for one panel, go with 50 amp if you want 2 panels.
Amazon product ASIN B01BPLJASU
Get the inverter you had above.

Go to a local solar shop like Solar superstore for the panels. Should be able to get a 450 watt panel for under $350.

From November to mid March I need to run my generator about 3 hrs a day when I’m there. I have an electric fridge and a water pump for my well that really eat up most of the power. I also have a full infloor system running that I heat my basement with. We essentially use power as if we were on the grid and my kids leave everything on all the time. My last trip there this past weekend I didn’t run generator once.
