Solar!!!!

The solar components arrived this week. Now all I have to do is figure out how to connect them all together!. These are the panels. There are 14 of them and they are 180 Watt panels.
.




The batteries were not fun to unload. The trucker and I had quite a time getting them off the truck. This skid of batteries (16) weighs 750kg (approx 1650 lbs).

This is the power inverter. It converts the 48 volts from the battery into 120 volts for the household. It also takes care of charging the batteries using the solar panels. This controller is HEAVY. I thought it was screwed to the floor when I tried to lift it up!!!
