[RE-wrenches] How large is too large?

[Mark Dickson]

Hello Wrenches, 

I have a customer that has really likes the thought of being off-grid and
they have asked me to design a system for their "lodge".  I have kicked and
screamed to get them to consider a grid-tied system using their existing
grid service-to no avail.  

After doing a preliminary load analysis, I have determined that it would
take ~35kW of solar and a couple Bergey Excels for it to work along with a
19,000Ah battery bank.  

So, how big is too big?  If we were to move forward on this, what would be
the major obstacles/show stoppers besides the price (as price is not an
issue)?

What are some of the largest battery based systems that you have installed
or heard of?

Any input is welcome. . .besides being told just to run away from this one.
. .

 

REgards,
