I'm looking to confirm my setup for solar powering my off-grid cabin. I've chosen 5 Hyundai 390W Monocrystalline Bifacial Solar Panels and an Aims 5000 Watt 12VDC Power Inverter. Is this a good combination, and are there better alternatives I should consider?

It's important to clarify what you're planning to power with your 12V system. If you're going to have adequate batteries and you're fine keeping it simple, 12V can work for basic needs. There are even 12V fridges out there, which can be great for remote living. Just keep in mind that going for a 24V or 48V system could be more efficient if you're looking to power more appliances or if you want to future-proof your setup. It gives you a bit more flexibility down the line too!
Thanks for the insight! I'm trying to keep costs down initially but I do plan on expanding. I'm definitely still learning about all this, so I appreciate the tips!
