Now you are talking BIG Bucks. That would take 20 to 24 45 Watt solar
panels at about $200 Each for a quality panel. IF you hurry you c
uld pick up 20 to 24 of those $149 Harbor Freight kits and throw
away everything except the panels and save a few bucks.

And you may need to custom build your inverters as 48 Volt converters
are the highest voltage I could locate.
