I likely would have given up if it weren't imperative that I get the job done, and if it weren't during a pandemic that made electricians and other paid help in very short supply. The process I went through required at least some minimal technical experience (I really needed more) and a whole lot of time and patience. The more important question is: should you? I'm betting in most cases, the answer is no. Still, I managed to do it myself, so perhaps you could, too. But I still needed some help, a few patient professionals to bounce myriad questions off of, and lots of time spent on YouTube looking for answers to even more questions I was too embarrassed to ask.
This gave me enough confidence to install a 1.2-kilowatt system for my family's small off-grid home.
I installed a single solar panel on a vintage travel trailer years ago and hooked it up to a marine battery and a tiny inverter. With so much plug-and-play solar energy around, it's fair to wonder how easy it is to take a do-it-yourself approach to putting a larger solar energy system on your home. Small photovoltaic cells are built in the back of phone chargers and cases portable panels are sold for cars, trailers and even backpacks. Solar panels have become ubiquitous in recent years.
