im building a shed and would like to have a solar system on it just for fun. the easiest way would be to get a goal zero yeti 150 and a small panel but like to do a little more than that.

i got a quote today from a company for $2500 for a 280 watt panel 1000watt inverter charge controller wires and i use my own battery. how could it be 2500? the panel is $250 inverter and charge controller im guessing are roughly $200 each and wires after that.

i was wondering what do you guys think i should do for my setup, i want something small that charge dewalt batteries maybe 3ah a week and run 4 led lights ever now and then while im in the shed. i dont mind spending some money but not $2500.

it seems like the yeti and small panel is my best bet but want to know if there are any kits out there better than the yeti? i see canadian solar has a nice little all in one where you just plug a panel into it so im wondering if any of you guys have played around with that one?

thank for all the replys.
