I am new, both to this forum and to solar (and electricity in general). And I promise I have read through many, many posts for info before I created this, however I cannot find anything with my specific configuration, questions, and fears. So please, go easy on me, and thank you in advance for any assistance.
I live in Texas, and I want a grid-tied system to help with the electric bill during the hot months, all 12 of them.
I've already bought the parts. No charge controllers or batteries, just want panels and micro inverters, directly into a standard 120v exterior wall outlet. I want to do the exact same thing this guy has done: https://youtu.be/TiQELOEo45g
So I have my 2 panels:
And my micro inverter:
I'm going to run the 2, 12 volt panels in series to get the voltage up to 24, then into the inverter, then AC power out, straight into an external wall outlet.
My question is this: is this really ok?!?! Is this all I need? I'm scared to death to plug it all in. I'm just looking for an expert to say "you're all clear kid", or "no, do this ___".
Any assistance is greatly greatly greatly appreciated. Thanks!
