No, all that has to be done (properly) at the meter panel.

You'd just need the battery with this. And an inverter off the battery if you want 120v.

You can use a cheap lead acid or AGM car battery at first then upgrade to lithium later if you want.

Inverter cost depends on size. 1000w is small and around $150. 2000W and higher will set you back further.

Edit: Wow I read that wrong.

Quality / cost wise Renogy is decent quality. Very popular in van life, RVs and overlanding. The next step up is Victron

It's not. MPPT bundle is for 200w only.

Is there a legit way to hook stuff up like this to a 120v socket in your home to back feed your house's electric?

Could you hook this to an electric golf cart battery set to charge off grid?

Not a good deal. Renogy 100W panels are $80 and a PWM controller can be had for $20.

Better to size appropriately for your roof, leaving space for more later. Get an MPPT controller with some wattage growth headroom. You'll find for an RV about 80% of rated is the max you can pull.
