Panels are thirty Kyocera 175GT's. Didn't choose them for any particular reason other than the price. They were the best deal at the time, and prices are going up all the time.
As to storage - yes. I have a limited battery backup system with eight Rolls/Surette S560 batteries - each is 530 amphours and 6 volts.

There are dual Outback inverters at the barn that send 240 VAC to the house.
Very often with long runs like mine, the panels get wired for 200-400 VDC which is much easier to run a long distance. But, doing that pretty much eliminates the ability to use battery backup.
