Saw your post and wanted to share an idea or two. We did a small system like this for a client a month ago. 3 100 watt panels through a combiner box to a “solar generator “ like device called a Jackery. 2000 watts, little bigger and heavier than a boom box. There are several companies products to look at. There was a great article in Clean energy on this trend a month or two ago. Very popular in Europe, slowly growing here. Balcony solar is what I call it. Simple and easy.

I recently cobbled together a kit for a security system on a tiki hut. It ended up being more expensive than I wanted it to be and overkill for the application. I just had a local government contact me with a request for several ultra small systems, and I was hoping to find an off-the-shelf kit that is plug and play. I don't have time to cobble together a bunch of small systems. It's easy to find DC kits for things like vehicle gates and lighting, but I can't find anything for small AC loads. In this particular case, all they need to operate is an Intermatic mechanical timer and a small controller with latching solenoids. I imagine something like a 100W solar panel with a small battery and 100W inverter would do the trick. Does anyone know of a source of small off-the-shelf kits like this?
