I built my grid in my spare time. Started in 2017, it went online in 2020. It is a stand-alone system of my own design, all the research came from the Interwebz. Northern Arizona Wind & Sun, Shop Solar Kits, among others provided a wealth of information and advice.
Short description: 800w Grape Solar panels, 2200w Samlex Inverter Charger, 400Ah AIMS Power LiFePo battery bank. Off grid setup. For what we need, it does a great job. Provides 120V 20a service to our cabin in the woods.

Left- solar, center- wind, right- solar
This is the highest input I've seen on the solar array so far. Keep in mind
