So do you do
A) dc from panels to dc/dc charger to batteries then to an AC invertor
Or
B) dc from panels to micro or standard inverter(s) to 240 ac then to batteries?
That depends. I went with a specific low frequency inverter due to my current requirements. I like micro inverters, but if you want an off grid system, I think MPPT charge controller with battery and stand alone inverter is the way to go.
I run micro invertors myself, but you need the 60hz clock to fire them up. I have not been able to find a stand alone box that would allow on grid invertors to function in an off grid situation (needs to provide a 60hz 240v clock).
You could try connecting a small sine wave inverter to them. Not sure if that work though.
