This is very doable if you’re willing to manage your power around the solstice or install a small standby generator. Any hybrid inverter will work, Sol-ark comes to mind first. It will manage your batteries and call on the generator only as a last resort.

Oops, try green mountain solar.

I’d steer clear of sun common and sun run, particularly for this type of installation.

Your best bet might be to get an electrician to do everything except the actual solar panel install.

Thank you! I will look into Sol-Ark just to understand what that can look like :)

As others have pointed out grid tie is the easiest. But it could very well cost more to get power up a mountain than it would to install the entire off grid setup.

Here’s the sol-ark 15kw, they make a 12kw that could work too. https://www.sol-ark.com/sol-ark-15k-all-in-one/
