I'm wrapping up a solar installation on my 2016 Axis. I'm super excited to see what it can do. I bought the components separately from Amazon. Here's the set up. Each item links to the corresponding Amazon page.
3 x Grape Solar 160w panels; $230/piece = $690
1 x Renogy Tracer 4210 MPPT Solar Controller = $210
1 x Renogy Tracer MT5 remote meter = $40
1 x AIMS 2000 watt pure sine inverter (low frequency) = $588
1 x AIMS Power Remote Meter = $139
3 x 3M VHB RP45 Tape; $12ea = $36
100' MC4 cable = $47
Various electrical fuses & materials = $100
Aluminum angle brackets from Home Depot = $100
Total for 480 watts solar power and 2kw inverter =~ $1950
Thankfully I had a good friend to help with the installation. He made a custom fabricated sliding drawer for the electrical equipment and flush mounted the meters to the wall. Took us about 4-5 days for the complete installation. Nice to have handy friends
Hope this helps someone. We're wrapping up installation this weekend. Will post photos soon!
