    Does that include the PV racking ? Seems low.
    Noop, that was just a guestimate right now....that's one reason I was trying to keep it to (2 strings of 3 panels). I am planning on making my own battery connections with welding wire (I can borrow the proper equipment from work to make the fittings). The run from the panels to the charge controller would be about 15ft, wiring from the inverter to the main breaker box is about 50ft of pre existing 6-3 Romex for a Kiln I sold, which I would use to tie into the house wiring....I really haven't priced racking yet....the panels would be mounted on a flat roof and I would want the elevation adjustable for seasonal sun elevation changes.

    Just been working on quotes for the big stuff...I'll start looking into all the little components soon.

    Looking for a system like THIS. (Panels would be facing South but will be subjected to 60 mph (80+ mph gusts) seasonal westerly winds. The back side of the panels would be protected from lifting wind loads by a 3 ft wall on the home....snow load would be minimal to none.)

    Thanks
