Thanks very much, Tom. I was hoping for this answer. Most of what I've read makes it seem fairly simple but the devil is in the details!

I've got a 1500 sqft cabin that sits way off the main road. The power company wants almost $15,000 to run their cable to the site so I'm think about just taking the plunge and going off-grid solar. The cost of the compenents seems reasonable but the install is a killer. Is it naive to think I could install a 3kw PV solar system by myself?

I have an electrical engineering background but am not a licensed electrician or anything like that...

Thanks!

Tom
