[QUOTE="tynyphil, post: 4023612, member: 44419"] This is the array I put up for my off grid cabin. The inverter is 3Kw. The panels are supposed to produce 1980 watts (6-330watt panels). I have about $10K in this system that I installed myself. It does a good job for what I intended. I would not try to run the portable AC without the gas generator but for lights, refrigerator, micorwave, TV it's good. I have 8 large batteries that keep the 24V system running during times of cloud/darkness. Yes ! ground mount panels allow you to clean them periodically which is necessary. As you can see my panels are fixed and do not track so they are not optimal....but adequate. I recently lowered their angle as I had it too vertical for year-round use without tracking.
