Because Interest was shown for My Installation, I wrote this up with Photos.
...It's a 440 Watt Array. (4) 12 Volt Solar Panels. Charge a 24 Volt System. 36 Volts off the array through 100 amp MPPT Controller to Charge to 27.99-28.00 Volts. Each 12 Volt panel delivers 18 Volts @ 110 Watts, that devides into 6.1111Amperes. The higher the Volts, the Lower the Amps by Half and Amperes/Current, is where the 'Heat' is Created. I run (4) 12V Deep cycle Batteries. First in series to 24 Volts then in Parallele to double the Amp/Hrs. with a 3000 Watt Inverter I 'Can' run My House for 25 Years for FREE! (The Life of the Modules. The Battery Life is 15 Years through 1000's of Cycles, 1500 on average. And 'Deep Cycles' can be run to 'Dead' with no Damage. The Inverter can run most every thing on 120 VAC:
Incandescent lights. LED's save amp/hrs
Microwave oven and Air fryer oven.
Full Size Refrigerator (they run Intermittent)
Coffee grinder and Maker.
Any Electric Skillet, Waffle/Pancake maker/Toaster.
Dishwasher, Clothes washer.
All 120 VAC Power tools, all of them. I Mostly use it outside to run...2 Bandsaws, garden Trencher, 2 chainsaws, pond pumps, hedge trimmer, String Weeder, paint sprayer, air compressor, Chargers for All Battery Powered Tools, even 2 USB Ports to charge Your phone and Laptop, and more.
All 120 VAC Power tools, all of them.
Computers run better with the 'Pure sine wave' Inverters, it's a more accurate '60 Hertz', than the 'House Current' from Dam Dynamos!
And Much More.
What It can't run:
240 VAC Electric Stove Top and Oven.
240 VAC Clothes DRYER
240 VAC 'Central' Air Conditioner. (there are 120 VAC 'Room' A/C Units)
In the 4 Plus Years I could have Charged 100 Pairs of 12 Volt Batteries (as 24 Volts), by this time.
The Only Danger is Over Charging the Batteries.
I can hook-up twin 120 Volt Systems (2 Inverters) into 240 Volts and run AC...all day Long in the Sunshine and at Night.
I Can Run the 28 Volts all Night, by Morning they sit at 24.3 Volts. By Sunlight at 10:00 AM the System has Re-Charged Back to 28.0 Volts DC. The system is 'Self Rejuvenating' with as Little as 8 Hrs. of Sunshine every 3 Days. Plus I have Observed Charging under a Full Moons' Reflective Light and even a Charge under StarLight. Documented, for some time as there was No Change from 110%, and Data taking got so Boring, that I suspended it. Cloudy/Overcast days, can produce upwards to 95% Full Voltage!

Anyone can DIY for less than $1800. Read the Book 'How to Install Solat Panels'. Own it All, outright...and keep the Government OUT of it! Mounting is Your Call.
Pics to follow.
Thank You
