Yes and no. If you are competent, you can certainly install many elements of the system yourself, but you should take extreme care as solar panels strung in series can produce dangerously high DC voltages. We recommend that your installation is fully checked and signed off by a qualified electrician and certainly, any 240V AC work should be carried out by a fully qualified person.

Most properties can be run from solar panels & batteries alone, however, you would almost certainly need to make some compromises relating to the equipment you can run compared with a property powered from the grid (or partially from the grid). Physical space constraints (for fitting panels and batteries) and your budget will be the main factors in determining how much power you can harvest and store and, therefore, how much energy you can expect to have available.
