I'm new to the whole solar power scene and honestly don't know where to start. Can anyone recommend resources to help me understand how solar energy works, what I can do with it, and also suggest trusted places to buy solar equipment? Thanks a lot!

Just a quick safety reminder - if you're dealing with anything over 60 volts, be super careful! It can really be dangerous. Also, check out previous discussions in the forum to see what mistakes others have made and learn from them.
Don't forget to browse through the DIY Solar Forum! It's a fantastic resource for all things solar, and you'll find a lot of helpful tips and discussions there.
You should definitely check out some YouTube channels like CleverSolarPower, Will Prowse, and The Off-grid Garage. They have some great beginner-friendly content that really helped me when I started my solar journey. Just make sure to look at their older videos too, where they share their own experiences as beginners!
Thanks for the heads-up! Safety is definitely a priority for me.
