> Can you recommend some resources for building and sourcing a solar setup like this?

A lot of people like Will Prowse on YouTube[1]. I've watched a few of his battery test videos and it's influenced what I'll end up buying. I haven't watched any of his solar videos.

I've been lurking in r/SolarDIY[2] as well.

I'm buying a bunch of Victron[3] gear. They have forums, HOWTOs, some videos, plus the various product sheets. They have some circuit diagrams too.

The rest is Google and reading blog posts, DIY articles, price comparisons, etc. There are books, but I haven't read any.

I've got basic electronics chops and tinker with things a bit. I'm by no means an expert.
