I’m completely new to solar power and energy storage, and I’m thinking about installing some solar panels and a battery system for my home. I’m not really sure where to begin – there’s a lot of info out there and it’s a bit overwhelming. Any tips or stuff I should watch out for as a beginner? Thanks a ton!

    You have to tell us a bit more about your needs... Where (do you have lots of sun, little shade), how much energy do you use in a day/month/etc. (kWatt*Hours), are you doing this to save money, are you doing this for emergency power, do you have the money (solar is not cheap), can you do this safely (solar, battery, wiring, etc. all can be sources of fire if not done correctly, if not done to code could cause your home insurance to not pay out on a claim, etc.)....
