4 * 3.2V 100aH LiFePO4 batteries for $180
Daly BMS 4S 12V with WiFi monitoring $69
1200 watt pure sine wave inverter $125
So $375 to build your own system. I use mine for camping. I have a 12v light string that uses about 35w on high and 9w on low, so the system will power that for days, as well as charge cell phones, tablets, ipads, speakers, etc.
And as the other person said - it's nice to have the individual components to swap out if anything goes bad.
For charging the above system, I use a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 solar charger ($68) and a couple solar panels for 200w of charging power in full sun.
Other charging options include a 120v AC to 14v DC LiFePO4 battery charger ($40), or a DC-DC charger ($30) for charging from your vehicle's 12v power, to charge up while driving.
Of course, the real savings for a DIY setup comes from stepping up the capacity. A 12.8v 320aH setup (for 4096Wh total) can be had for ~$720 ($450 battery bank + $70 BMS + $125 inverter + $68 solar charge controller).
My off-grid solar system for my house employs 16 * 3.2v 310aH batteries for 15,872Wh of capacity. I paid $1800 for all the battery capacity.
Will Prouse, Jasonoid, HoboTech, just to name 3.
There are so, so many off the grid folks who have posted plenty of videos.
Will is excellent for home builds, Jason is excellent for super specific data, Hobo, is well Hobo. Country bumpkin / off gridder, just enjoying life.
