You need more quotes. Though with a $200 month bill the payoff should be quick. It takes a lot of amps for that equipment and not a lot of “off the shelf” inverters will support those types of batteries.
If all you want is to keep your freezers running during an extended outage (Texas situation) consider the Sunny Boy inverters by SMA. Each one has a 2 kWh outlet that can be used without a battery or the grid. Your freezers will run during the day while there’s solar, at night leave them closed.
- jononor 5y ago> Though with a $200 month bill the payoff should be quick For a 65k expense, and 200 a month saving, that is like 27 years to break-even? How do you get it to be "quick"?
- ed25519FUUU 5y agoTo clarify, I'm recommending you skip the battery and use something like a Sunny Boy w/ 2 kWh convenience plug. Depending on your electricity costs and whether or not your utility supports net metering, you should be able to build a system at a fraction of that cost ($20k before federal credits) to generate your power.
