Does anyone have any experience with using solar panels with there grow room or even for personal use? Is it better to be off grid or on grid? From my understanding the only good thing about off-grid for growers is the security it gives that no one knows exactly how much you are using up. . . Also I am using 220v to power my lights rite now. I was told that only above 10kw inverter or solar system would be able to feed power to my lights (I'm only getting a 4kw solar system). Will I have to switch everything back to 110v? . . .I am running 2 thousand watt lights in budding room with AC, dehumidifier and all. In the Veg and Mother room I have about 600w in light and fans. My electric bill with everything running and my living in the house is about $500. I would like to expand my grow from here but I don't want to be paying out my ass for electricity and I don't want to draw attention to my grow. I'm pretty sure I will be going off-grid for security purposes. . . I am researching all the parts and I will buy them all separately and put it together with one of my handy friends. I just need to know if anyone has any experience with these systems. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
