I agree, it is nice to see what others have done, a great way to find ways to incorporate and make things work better. My houses has a 48V solar system. My well pump shed has its own 12V solar system as the pump is a simple pump with a 12v pump and now I am installing a 12V solar system in my gen shed and sea can. I will only need to fire up the Yamaha 3000watt generator to charge house solar panels in the winter on the short when there isn't enough daylight, but that may be resolved when I add a couple more panels or fire up the 11,500 watt generator to weld.
Right now and through the summer into fall, it takes about 2 hours for sun to top up the batteries from night usage and 3-4 hours if it is overcast. If I can figure out why it won't let me upload picture and get that resolved, I will upload pics.
