I’m curious how much it costs to have a 5000 watt solar homestead setup. I’ve met some people that have paid someone to install one for them and the cost blew me away. Ballpark of $10k -$25k without much for batteries. I don’t know anyone personally that has worked through it themselves.

I did mine myself. Not very hard to get a basic setup going. It was expensive, but most of that was the inverter which is much larger than I initially need. I intend to slowly expand the system. The system is 1200w and I will be expanding to 2500w for the next step.
If you’re somewhat handy (or are willing to learn) it’s much more cost effective to build it yourself. Depending on your needs and budget, you can start small and expand as your means and needs change.
It depends. Used panels? New panels? On the roof? Separate solar installation? Wind/snow load? 5kW is not a lot.
