[RE-wrenches] Large off grid

Aaron,
In thirty years my largest off grid residence (2005 install) had four Outback VFX3648s, with the inner two in the Quad Stack included primarily as slave battery chargers. Principle One still holds, even with today’s numerous exceptions: electricity is a high quality form of energy, best suited to specific uses - lighting, electronics, drive power. Shift (most) bulk uses of electricity to other forms of energy. 
I wouldn’t spend my unbilled hours designing a system to meet an arbitrary 200A service. 
Hope this helps,
Allan Sindelar, Sindelar Solar

How many radians can be put together? I'm curious to know how others would proceed or is this to unreasonable to spend my time on.
