As the off grid excitement grows so may my system. Back of the napkin design states that additional battery power and possibly solar panels may be necessary but we are off to a good start.
I will keep everyone updated as we power through summer OFF GRID as this looks to be a non issue. Randen

I took some liberty shortening the parts I wanted to comment on.
Congradulations on the success of your work.
I admit I am envious of your electrical skills. My greatest claim to electrician fame is that I've never owned a Volt Ohm Meter I didn't short out in less than three times using it.
Almost as soon as we brought our new Chevy bolt home my wife asked, "So, when will we add more solar?" I wanted to tell her, "Patience, Grasshopper" but chose against that. After considering my options, I told her it would be as soon as I could save the money to put in ~ 5kW more in panels and a Tesla Powerwall 2.0. Of course, life happens, so it could be Powerwall 4.0 by then. I like extra solar as much as I like "over-insulating" something, aka there's never too much.
I look forward to hearinig about your successes on your system.
