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. Battery bank is series wired for 48 VDC and I have no DC going to the house since the 240'run is too long for low-voltage DC. 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.
