DIY Solar Panels: Powering Your Homestead Off-Grid

[BlueSkyWanderer]

Looking to splice together a DIY solar panel system for the homestead. Always had a penchant for sustainable living, and considering the volatile times we're in, seemed like a good project to get my hands dirty. The trick part is figuring out which panels are worth the buck? Anybody have experience or recommendations on where to get decent, cost-effective panels for this kinda setup? Appreciate the wisdom in advance!

BlueSkyWanderer, I've got my own panels from Renogy. They're pretty reliable and reasonably priced, plus they have a great selection of DIY kits. Had mine going for couple of years and they've been holding up well. The efficiency is good too, I'll tell ya. What kind of setup you planning? Got enough space for an array, or you working with rooftop kind of situation?
