Perfect,
I didn't mention it, but I am planning a stand alone solar setup for my building as well. Might pick your brain there a bit. Concurrently we are having a 16kWh setup installed for the house but I don't want to deal with additional trenching etc for this building so I will do stand alone with a battery.
I'm thinking through the largest draw I would put on that system and I think I might need it to be able to run a medium sized compressor for tires etc.
Feel free to ask questions and I’ll try to answer them. I don’t claim to be even close to an expert when it comes to solar power. I knew basically nothing about it before this project. I just did a lot of research online and talked with a coworker who knows about solar.
My setup is:
Renogy 200W premium package with mono crystalline panels, 20 amp Rover charge controller and bluetooth module
Square D breaker box with QO series breakers
They are rated for up to 48V DC whereas other breakers only work with AC voltage. Way cheaper than special “solar breakers”
Duracell Group 27 deep cycle marine battery
BCI 2000W running/ 4000W peak pure sine wave inverter. Pure sine is more expensive but it is cleaner power than modified sine wave.
The lights are 6 x 60W equivalent A base 12V LED RV bulbs in porcelain bases that are wired to the breaker box with 14-2 Romex. If some day I run power from the house, all I have to do is change out to 120V bulbs.
The panel mount was built to allow easy adjustment of panel angle between summer and winter.
