I know very little about in-depth electrical work so I would definitely need professional electrician assistance, but I am looking for a sort of “how to disconnect from the power company” and go full solar? I understand that it’s becoming much less expensive to purchase and maintain, and I would like to free myself from $300/month electrical payments on my residence.

If it helps, I live in the mideast USA.

Any help is really appreciated! :)

    I live on a cruising sailboat and have bought gear from Sun Electronics in Miami Lakes, Fl a few times.

    They’ll sell you A panel or pallet after pallet of every conceivable type and manufacturer and power rating. There is no sales tax in Florida on anything having to do with solar power, so that could also save you some money.

    Here they have several examples of complete systems to give you an idea / crash course of what’s involved.

    These are examples, and as you start to learn more about the different components and choices (lead acid vs LifePo4 batteries, or home built or store bought, EV powerwall, etc etc) you’ll see your prices change.

    I’m not affiliated, just a happy customer.
