Many here have DIY installed solar. It is not a too terribly difficult undertaking. However there are many places to go wrong and wind up with a poorly functioning system. Also mistakes can be costly or hurtful depending on the size of your system.
IMHO if you do yourself a favor and determine up front exactly what you want your system to accomplish then you can calculate the necessary amp hour requirements, battery capacties and solar panel wattages using readily available online calculators (google). This way your excpections will be more likely to align with your results.
