Off The Grid

The often overlooked joy of high tunnel ownership.

Interesting idea, poor implementation. Gets worse the longer you look.

My automated panel cleaner worked good this morning

These neo doom preppers are savvy 😂

Overpaneling again.... The panels on the barn are connected to the same model inverter as the ones in orange. Despite them being at a much flatter angle and covered with ice, they make more power than the panels mounted in the yard at the correct angle for winter. The difference is 12kw of panels on a 6kw inverter vs 7.5 kw of panels on a 6kw inverter. In the end I've been buying power all day never made more than 10kwh today. No matter how many panels you have you always need an alternate source of power.

I sometimes bring up things that aren't prepping related here in an effort to motivate you to prep. This is one such article. https://x.com/i/status/2014766670057701687

Holy smokes this is expensive... but it is a 48v diesel generator that will directly charge your batteries. Not likely to go on my Christms list though.... https://intelligentcontrols.io/collections/generators/products/hatz-fipmg-generator?variant=43832187158758

Marty and Leslie live off-grid in the wilds of the US state of Montana. They use Victron Energy equipment to power their house as well as a 3-phase system for a lumber (timber) equipment business. Marty is prepared for anything the wilds of this state can throw at them, He has lots of solar energy and even uses the excess power to heat underground water-fed pipes in his greenhouses so he and his wife can grow fruit and vegetables all year round. https://icmontana.com/ https://www.victronenergy.com/inverters-chargers/quattro #prepper#victron#victronenergy For technical questions see our support page: https://www.victronenergy.com/support or contact your Victron dealer, distributor or installer. You can also have a look at our Victron Community page to see if your question has already been answered there. Or join in the conversation to help others: https://community.victronenergy.com

Usually, Victron adverts feature homes in the EU... this one is in USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfm30988i0U

I shoo'ed more than one out of my back yard, black bears don't usually attack. Maybe I'm just so manly it ran away.

Lyrics boys.... listen to the lyrics.
