I have a similar arrangement 48V system, but only 690 watts in a total of 3 solar panels so far, its for back up power and I'd say its impressive you don't even know the power is out, seems like non interrupted, given the battery bank. I can do the same, bulk or trickle charge from my Miller NT251 welder/generator. The only difference is I need more panels, and with the cycling of the batteries, I'd need to balance them much more often and depending on the cycling, its hard to say what the overall service life will be, as is, for back up power they've never really been below 48 Volts, takes a long time with conservative useage ie; outage, to get down to 50 volts, it stays around 54 Volts with a .50 amp charge on it. These are viable systems, this house is not small either, I don't run the electric range, washer/dryer or central air, but it handles everything else, 220v well pump, furnace 2 refrigerators, and a big chest freezer. Battery bank consists of 8 batteries, + inverter and charge controller, the inverter has its own panel. I think with more solar panels, I have the room, I could produce power, my location is ideal for when the sun is shining. The town hall has a huge system, might be a co-op, but they are off the grid during the day when the sun shines, and there is a flat screen monitor showing the pertinent information amortized over time, so any of the residents that walk in can see what its doing at any given time, wish I had that same kind of read out here, track the outages over a year, showing the break down of power generated etc.
