If you buy solar panels that are made outside of China, like the USA, there is no Tariff
I'm in the very early stages of figuring out a small off grid system for my cabin. Just like always money is tight I would like to start small and build the system so it can be added onto in the future. My question is what parts of the system should I invest in first? I'm thinking a good charge controller and inverter? Then adding additional batteries and panels down the road. Any other tips for building an easily expandable system?I'm still working on calculating all my loads...but it won't be a lot. Planning on propane for the fridge and no washer or dryer right now. So mainly looking at lights, microwave, fans in the summer, stereo (no TV), and charging laptops/phones.
I read that even US built panels use Chinese made cells, so even "US panels" would still be subject to the tariff. Is that correct?
Maybe someone else will chime in but my answer would be NO. I have a 3000 watt Honda and it only has a 30 amp breaker.
That would be a nice generator!
