I really wanted to go solar. I worked as the safety manager and quality control on a large commercial solar project over 3 years. I watched numerous video's and asked questions on solar forums when I first started my planning. After many hours I had a design and the knowledge needed to start. I had a laundry list of tools and equipment that I needed. I eventually made a purchase of 2 inverters with 6 batteries and rack. Followed by multiple purchases from Amazon and other suppliers for modules, tools, wire and all of the associated components and hardware for this system. I designed a small ground mount system that is seasonally adjustable and it can be expanded. One thing to note from these forums, it is important to follow the manufacturers instructions and your required electrical codes, even if your system is not being inspected. My system uses 2 EG4 6500EX's and 6 EG4 LL-48V batteries. The systems can use the grid to charge batteries if needed, but is set to operate from 1 solar, 2 battery, 3 grid. The output powers a critical loads panel and runs my refrigerator, microwave, family room outlets, TV, security system, kitchen lights, stairwell lights, primary bathroom lights and panel outlet. I am very happy with my EG4 system and its performance.
