hello, all. i have been looking into building a backup battery bank in my basement to feed through an inverter and backfeed my electric panel in a power outage. my first step is building the battery bank system, and the second step is configuring a solar panel setup outside for charging. i am looking to just be able to run my fridge a few hours a day, and run my well pump as needed for water. my well is deep (420'+) and i have a 1.5 hp well pump (grundfos 5S10-22) using 10 running amps and 35 surge/start amps. i would also be using power to charge/run electronics/rechargeable batteries etc. i would only be using this system in an emergency power failure situation. i was looking at the AIMS 6000 Watt split phase inverter. i figured i could shut off my main breaker in the panel cutting off utility power, and feed the battery power bank through the inverter and into the electric panel of my home via 6amp breaker to run the well pump and other circuits.
i am having trouble figuring out if i should design a 12/24/48 volt system? it looks as though 24v or 48v are better for higher volt inverters from what i have been reading? also, how many volts of solar panels would you recommend for charging the batteries?
