Description of Case Study:I stress a few main points. The first is to do lots of research about renewable energy, your energy needs, and what kinds of systems best suit your needs. The second is create redundancy in your system, so that in case something breaks with one set of battery/inverter, you can still receive power through the secondary system. Finally, becoming energy independent is an ongoing process of constantly improving your system.
