36 volt system and Inverter. That was expensive.

You would be surprised, I ended up custom ordering from China 2000W 36V inverters. Main unit + spare + backup unit. Price tag was more than 50% cheaper then anything domestic.
So far I was able to run fridge and lights and TV simultaneously with no signs of heat in any of these. I am still in the testing phase, only time will provide conclusive results.

Just for the sake of clean terminology, those aren't 36 V solar panels. They are considered "20 V" panels when the Voc is around 36 V. If you had put the panels in parallel instead of in series, they would only be capable of charging a 20 V battery.
