Hello SolarPanelTalkers. I lurked here for about 6 months a year ago, and designed a solar system with LFP batteries and generator for my cabin. At the end of that, Sunking woke me up with the question "why would you do it?" Long story short, we put in a 1700' line extension that crosses a creek to my cabin. Power will be installed within 2 weeks. Cost to me? About $6000 plus a heck of a lot of work. I appreciated everyone's help here in learning what it would take to design a system and use it, but am grateful I got the good stuff from the power company.
I have a different question about a different proposed building. Let's say I had 240V @ 20A available to me of solid POCO power from a neighboring source and I have a house that will consume 10kWH per day. Could solar panels be eliminated, and a battery bank power this hypothetical house and be recharged/maintained by the 20A 240V circuit? What equipment would be needed and what battery technology would be desired? I was considering LFP for my solar system because this is in a low sun hours location and I wanted quick charging, but that not a factor if there are no solar panels.
I know this is "solar panel" talk, but I also believe you can quickly out me on a course. Thank you. Don
