What else would need to be purchased in order to make this a full turn key set up to run my entire home. Can it be tied into my regular electric panel

You will need a deep cycle battery, or battery bank. 12 or 24 V will both work. You will need an inverter, best to get one rated for 2X the wattage you use. If you used 2.5kW get a 5kW inverter, these need to match your battery/bank in Voltage. 12V is cheaper for both batteries and inverters. However, you can just run two 12V in series to get 24V. 24V charges faster and uses less amps. Thus, is more efficient. Yes, this can be hooked directly to your breaker box. You may also want to get an inline fuse to go between the battery/bank and inverter. Inverter max watt/10. 2kW = 200 amp fuse.

I used these panels on my motorhome and relied on info that I downloaded from HandyBob's Blog

Sorry the grid tie you have is not an excess power unit (my system is a hybrid). You only need toconnect panel to the grid tie inverter. You will also have to make sure that the power company is okay with the micro system.

im not really sure of the layout your talking about. but this usually kicks in when the utility power shuts off. If you want instant power switching i would use a dpst contactor. They are cheaper and instant power switching. You can hook the 120 to the coil from generator and when the generator is supplying power it switches to itself and when you shut off power it will go back to your solar bank. These range from 20-60 dollars and are dead simple to install.

This is a "battery" panel. To work together with my local energy provider, you'll need to connect "grid-tie" panels using quality grid-tie inverters..

This is to be professionally installed to code sub panel can be used with a regular 200 amp house panel. Again use a licensed electrician. Be aware it may cost in excess of $1000

I don't believe your service panel has enough amperage for this model. I think 220 volts coming in from main. Then the property using this model will need an update interior panel.

you would need to hook the turn on wire to a switched source also you can go to the manufacturers web site and download the manual which will give you different wiring scenarios.

you can connect it to an appliance only if the appliance uses the same voltage as the solar panel. The most complete system would include a controller the regulate the voltage from the solar panel, batteries to store the energy produced so you have energy when there is no sun, and an inverter to convert the energy from the direct current (AC) that the battery uses to alternating current (AC) that most small appliances use.

Find the breaker there on an wire it to it. Best to do the entire house. Easy, just follow the directions that comes with the unit if you're not familiar with electric, or uneasy with working in an electric panel.It's a wonderful little unit that will do the entire house.

I bought some extra wire but didn't need it. Just spliced in to the existing wire. I already had a 5 amp panel. It wasn't enough to keep the battery charged. So the short answer other than wire you shouldn't need anything

this will power a few key circuits in your house. You will also need a transfer panel to hook it up correctly. In my case i run my heating (pump, timer etc), my refrigerator and 1 circuit of lights /electronics. During Sandy it got me through a week running the above refuelling it once or twice a day (mostly topups). Hope this is helpful.

You can wire it up to be on all the time, but you will never get that far. These things arrive dead and never worked (twice). Stay away from them, spend a bit more money abr get a Hugh quality system.

No just buy some heavy gauge wire for the power,and a little heavy gauge wire for the ground ,also get in-line fuse put it close to the pos.side to the battery.You'll need some speaker wires too but not much. ok thats about it.

not all at once, pleae remember this is a standy by generator that WILL NOT run the whole house all at once. if you wish to run everything all at once, you need to get a generator output amps the same size as your house main.

you need to have an alternate entry to get inside your home to operate the control panel or to operate the door manually. otherwise you need to have spare batteries in your car.

You would also need a Solar Charge Controller & a Battery. Check YouTube for instructions.

Nope, this is all ya need. I had an electrician mount it and put a new outlet, so I can plug directly to it
