Greetings all! I am new to the board and hoping to get some clarity on a few things.
I have been reading as much as possible on the subject, to get up to speed, but my brain doesn’t seem to be clicking when it comes to figuring out kWh, etc.
I close on a 450 sq ft off-grid log cabin next week. The gentleman that I’m purchasing from has (1) 300 watt panel, connected to 2 deep cycle batteries, with a ProStar 30 (PS-30M) controller. He is currently just running 12v with no inverter.
My most immediate question is, What can I realistically/reliably run off of something this size? And, second, what should I be looking at for an inverter? My ultimate goal is to have a system large enough to run a mini split for heating/cooling (again, only 450 square ft), lights, fridge, and water pump, as well as the smaller items like laptops, etc. so I’d like to get an inverter I can grow into, if possible.
I appreciate the time and assistance. Thanks!
