Hi everybody, my name is Curt and i just found your site. My wife and i want to go off the grid , we are planning to move in a few weeks to our new home.We are building a container home and we our using the generator for everything. We want to start out effortable and add on as we go. We are in the process of building our own solar panels, we have 10 built and plan on 6 more to start. I don't know much about all this , but learning more daily. I found this site and was hoping you all could help us. I have several questions about what components i need and ones i can expand on. We will have 16 panels, each is 18volts/ 3.5 amps/ 75 watts , now to tie them together i will need a combinder box, right ? What do you recommend ? Can i build it myself ?

I think you will find this site a help for your questions
