#1 - Renewable Energy > Technical Discussion: Other > Building a new home in Ariel, WA - need spec recommendations

I am building a home in Ariel WA where we have sun January through October. I need help designing the system. The home is 3600 square feet and I will be purchasing a 20k generator for periods when the sun is unavailable and to power wood working shop tools. I will power everything I can on propane.

We will be purchasing Sunfrost 16cf DC refrigerator and freezer. I will run the washer/dryer off generator as needed.

The recommendation we received is:
2 @ Outback VFX 3648 Inverters in a Power panel prebuilt with MX 60 controller

16 @ L-16 style Batteries, Cables, Class T fuses& holders power vent

PV Modules Monocrystalline Style 24vdc

The power estimated for average wattage per day is 4200.

Can someone recommend a supplier and evaluate if this system will supply the necessary wattage? We are unsure of the number of modules needed to supply the wattage required.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thx, Don
