Welcome to the forums!

Looks like you have set yourself some lofty goals. There are many ways to get where you want to be. I suggest you read through the threads in the solar power forum to get a good grasp on the best method for you. Most will tell you this, though: lead acid battery banks are a pain, both in the cost of ownership and the labor of maintenance.

A micro inverter based rig is efficient and scalable, so you only invest in what you need when you need it. However, if backup power is a high priority, a dedicated inverter is a must have.
