Has No Life - Lives on TB
So Doing a little research on on different solar solutions for the house. I am also searching the forum here for what folks have recommended as we have not really had a good listing of the vendors out there and pitfalls with each one.
I am looking at 3 systems separate in total. One for the shed. One for the main entertainment center, and one for the well house. I was also looking at expanding the well house a later point.

So far on the forum these sites have been recommended:
EcoFlow US (medium to small sized system)
Jackery Best Solar Generator, Portable Power Station & Solar Panels (looks to be a smaller mobile/RV camping type setup)
Home Sol-Ark Sol-Ark - https://www.sol-ark.com/ (appears to be a large to small home setup, but they push installers)
Portable Power Stations, Solar Generators & Home Backup | Goal Zero (this is more a backpacking type company)
This is one recommended by marfooglenews on youtube
These are what I can find on google searches doing various phrasologies...

These are outfits local to my AO:
So far I have determined that a power station for the home entertainment setup will be a best option there.
The real question I have is for the well system as I need 220 for the well pump without chaing the pump out to some sort of hybrid pump. But I also need 120 for the sand filter, uv prufication unit and heat lamps when it is cold. I will probably need to hook up my kill a watt meter and see what the true draw overtime is.
For the shed I could be ok with a 1k or 2k setup just to provide power to the freezer as my power outages are no more than an hour every once in a while.
