We do not have mains power on the farm so I have set up a solar system. It has 24V panels, 400 amp hour 24V batteries, 24V pure sine wave 1200 watt inverter and CTEK 24V charges run from Honda 20i generator.
All appliances are 240V (standard here). We run a standard domestic fridge and small freezer, plus lights, TV etc. It will not run a standard washing machine (surge load is too big)—had to buy an 'inverter' washing machine that has electronics to convert AC to DC for soft start. We can also run split 'inverter' air conditioners, though we usually run them direct from the generator. With 1200W (surge to 2000W), we have to be careful with what we have on with the fridge and freezer always getting priority.
It is not as good as mains power, but it is a lot better than no power.
