What kind of panels and inverter did you buy?
We used our tax return to start us out. We didn't have electricity, we were in the dark for a month when someone let us borrow the system for their RV until we got our tax return. We were going to use the money to get electricity to our property but by them we were sold on solar power and decided to buy a small system. I should add that we moved onto our land to live in a travel trailer and save money and slowly build a straw bale house, which might actually happen this year.
