I also want to stay off the electric grid . It would cost an additional ten thousand dollars to be hooked into it and I want to be independant from utilities. Would solar panels and batteries power lights and T.V , computer , washer dryer ect.

my house is 220 volts. Since 12 volt solar panels and 12 volt batterys are so available, for some reason I decided to group 4 panels into 48 volts and 4 batteries into a 48 volt battery and store the energy and when needed convert 48 volts to 220 volts and use it. Am I right? I dont understand why I thought to use 48 volts to 220 volts. Is there a better way or am I right?
