That has the same power storage capacity as the Delta 2, can be expanded to another battery (and more panels as needed)...and can have parts swapped out as needed. Obviously, there will be some additional cost for misc wires/fuses/bus bar, etc
Assuming money being close to the same for both of these solutions, part of it also comes down to me wanting to learn this stuff better. I work in IT, and rarely do "hands-on" projects like this, so I thought it would be a cool thing to try. Ultimately I want to put this on my shed and be able to use it to charge a golf cart or use as backup power in a power outage.

I have a professionally installed system with the following:
8.8 kw total capacity (27 of the SunPower 327 panels)
2 SunnyBoy 3800 inverters
My understanding is that this configuration can handle more panels and I would like to add more. I planned it before getting my EV which makes it so I consume more than I produce.
How difficult is it to add panels to an existing array? Does anyone have experience either as a DIY project or hiring a company to do it?

There's many ways you can arrange the panels in multiple series loops to get the input voltage and current you want…but that's what it comes down to when adding panels to your system.
