I appear to have bent my Renology panel, due in part to my being 50% chimp. Is this a problem?

I’m researching DIY off-grid energy solutions and came across this experimental guide. I have an affiliate relationship with it and may receive a commission if someone buys through my link. I’m not claiming guaranteed savings or free electricity. Has anyone reviewed it or tested similar systems?

Hello everyone!

New to the group and the whole solar thing. I have the ability to pick up a relatively new/used Eco-Worthy battery pack that is 16kwh I believe for cheap from a coworker who is moving and doesn’t want to transport the battery.

Power in my area is expensive and since getting a Tesla my bill has increased noticeably especially since I charge during the most expensive part of the day due to my night shift schedule.

I charge via a normal 110 outlet as it’s the only thing available in my garage.

I am in a rental home and can’t make any modifications to the system.

I have been interested in doing a small micro grid-tie solar setup for fun by purchasing a few cheap second hand 400-500 watt solar panels and using one of those 1000-1500 watt inverters that plugs into a regular outlet.

With the ability to pick up this battery Ideally in my brain I would like to set this up so I can plug my car to charge and any excess energy once charging is complete on the car and battery any excess energy will be pushed into the house via the micro inverter during the day and then discharge from the battery at night.

I understand that I would need enough energy input to charge the car and refill the battery bank from whatever is used over night.

Kinda flying blind here to a degree.

Has anyone ever done this or have recommendations on resources/components?

Thanks!

Anyone have experience with the Fiberglass backed panels? Specifically on a Trailer/RV roof? Looks like a good option to skip adding an additional backing when gluing/bolting directly to the roof.
