Thought I would start this thread, primarily to obtain help and guidance in building a grid connected or off-grid power wall... or something in between. I am very new to solar generation and battery storage, so will probably need a lot of help.
The home data center is a personal project I've wanted to create for some time. See the photos below, which show the buildingstages. The building is finally at lock up stage, so now is a great time to undertake the wiring for the solar panels and battery storage as that will be external to the data center.
The roof is a skillion design and will probably only support a total of 6 solar panels. I was thinking of using a panel similar to the Trina 295 watt, but am open to ideas on the most cost effective units. I will need a solar panel mounting frame like this Clenergy Solar Frameand will probably need two frames to mount the 6 solar panels. I will also need a stainless steel cabinet of some sort to store the batteries external to the data center.
Anyway, that is my first update. Look forward to hearing your thoughts, ideas, and recommendations.
