I am planning to build a solar system to take my existing small footprint house off the grid. I have an existing breaker panel with which I want to interface my inverter. How do I do that?

Are you an experienced electrician? Opening up a house panel be it 100a, 200a, or 50a, if you don't know what you are doing in that box it can kill you. With that said, you going to add a subpanel, with the proper breaker/breakers. Then that subpanel will get wired to the inverter and from the inverter to where ever you want to go. Or, you can remove a circuit of your choice from the main panel, run that to a subpanel on the out going side of the breaker. From the breaker you removed the lines from, go to your inverter and from the inverter to feed the panel you have ready with a choosen circuit. Again, unless you absoultely know what you are doing, have a licnesed electrician do this. I suggest you draw up a plan, a layout, then post it here for some more advice. In addition to what I just said, your state may have codes you will have to adhear to. A permit will be required as well as an inspection. You change your main panel without a permit and you have a house fire, guess what, your insurance will not cover it.
