            1. Define/measure your loads (lots of conservation)
2. When/how/where will the system be used.
3. Paper design. Battery bank and solar panel sizes.
4. Design several paper systems with different brands/models of equipment that may meet your needs.
5. Buy the hardware.

            And defining the loads is the hardest.
Off grid or grid tie is also a needed piece of knowledge. If grid tie then what does the net metering plan look like, it will have a big effect on the outcome.
