My Home Solar Setup in Florida- Update #2

This is an update of my do-it-yourself home solar system. I have added a generator for consecutive cloudy days. Also have wired the 3kw inverter into some new outlets that I placed inside my home; one in the utility room and the other inside the playroom. I got the two 130watt panels from sunelec.com a company out of Miami, FL. Great price at $1.98 per watt- best price I’ve found online. The charge controller is a Rogue MPPT 3024, which I also highly recommend. Please email me with any questions you may have. The panels are 12v, and I will be wiring them into a 24v configuration to minimize the amps I’m loosing in the wiring coming from the panels to the charge controller by about 75%.
