I'm looking to gather some insights on the best companies that provide complete kits for DIY solar installations. I know finding a good company is essential, especially since a lot of them have specific plans for connecting to the power grid, which I believe is usually required. As a carpenter and general contractor, I can handle building the racks and installing the panels myself. However, I plan to have my buddy, who's a master electrician, take care of the final hookups to the main panel and the house. With so many options out there, I'm a bit overwhelmed and want to know which companies are truly reliable. Ideally, I'd like to receive everything I need in one package, including a clear blueprint showing how to make the necessary connections. Any advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated! Also, would it be better to purchase components separately?

Check out the crew at NAZ. They’ve got some solid options that might fit what you're looking for!
Bluesun Solar is worth a look too. You can explore their offerings at their website; they have some decent packages you might like!
Signature Solar is a great choice. They offer both off-grid and hybrid systems, and their LiFePO4 batteries are pretty user-friendly. Their GridBoss system is especially easy to set up for hybrid or grid-tied connections.

I’m going for a grid-tied setup as well since power is generally reliable in my area. It seems like a good way to save some cash, and having a few batteries for backup during outages sounds smart!
