This will be either a 12volt or 24volt system, the diagram below is a general plan which will change as the design of the system develops

Electrical systems plan
This will be either a 12volt or 24volt system, the diagram below is a general
plan which will change as the design of the system
develops
One option could be to go for the Stecca option using a 12volt giving 400watts of AC or a 24 volt giving 900watts of AC Stecca solar charger / inverter these work out good value for money costing around £400 you get a solar charge regulator and an inverter in one very good Generator X use one in their system.
