I love when someone makes a confident proclamation on something of which they have no understanding or concept. bonus points for when the correct information is in the very thread they are looking at, but clearly chose not to read. Sol-Ark can run off-grid or grid tied. it can export, or stay local. it can run/charge batteries, or it can operate without. modern solar panels will still operate at ~90% effeciency at 15+ years of age. but don't learn that. just make a proclamation based on "your truth", it makes you way cooler. as to your cost statement: the fully completed solar shed side cost aboot 700 to 800 all-in, from foundation pour to the last shingle and nail, including insulation, drywall, lighting & electrical.

to keep the panels at the correct angle, while also allowing easier maintenance from the ground, and also make a functional equipment & storage shed underneath. I wanted a 1.8m wide doorway for larger equipment, without losing overhead clearance. for example, a roll up door would have required a 1m height doorway. I'm not a wee-man.

~80% of the solar shed side is from demolition reclaim, discard and scrap from construction jobs. I would estimate ~25% to maybe 30% of the barn side is reclaim.

a core bonus of this entire project has been the opportunity to spend quality time, in large chunks, with my almost 83 year old father, building something that will be a functional, practical, visual reminder of him, for the rest of my life. see... my father raised me, taught me throughout my life & didn't step out "to get a pack of menthols."
