Good Morning all!! Looking to slowly get into the solar thing. First let me explain that I am not into solar because I hate coal, or that I think global warming is going to destroy the world, or even that solar is going to save us from those horrible oil corporations. I do like solar because it offers me options, and some independence.
What is m looking for is a back up type system and the options seem overwhelming. I had a contractor (local) price me a system, grid tied only of course, and the cost almost made me puke. Grid tied only to me makes little to no sense, if I have solar panels but can't use them during a power failure, what's the point? Seems like a marketing save the world run on emotions ploy
I want a system to start that I can piece together and get my critical house systems onto as a start, well pump, sump pump, furnace fan (it burns, oil, wood, or coal) and the fridge and a freezer. Eventually maybe get the whole house swapped but that's not critical. Is it possible to have the batteries and still tie to the grid and maybe make a little cash back?
Seems to be a lot of knowledge here and I look forward to your help. FYI I am in NE Ohio and the system would probably be ground mounted as it seems my house is facing the wrong way . I am currently doing about 1200 kWh average a month.
