Kind sir, is it 70°F or 70°C?
How many batteries will you be using when you upgrade and what ah rating? Is the 400w arrangement enough for your small alpicool fridge? I really appreciate your common sense approach to off grid living. Have a good day
@solarcabin how do u earn ur money living off grid? what income sources do u have? im planning on living like u but i need some help and advice yk
How much is this complete set up
where in the hell are you? we was getting used to new video's!!
Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥ brother. You are a enlightened soul
Thanks for another video! Is there any other State or area you have considered living?
Do you work with ppl one on one? I’m from the city and am new to all of this
Can anyone tell me any ideas how to generate income while living off grid like this? This is a dream of mine.
How many kilowatts can you generate in one day out of your solar 400 watt system
Nice setup, I have a off grid cabin in northern Maine and just purchased a Jackery 1000 solar generator and just purchased a Renogy 100 watt solar panel to charge it. I don’t have a high power need for the cabin, I use it for my 12 volt refrigerator/cooler and some usb lighting.
Good job Lamar!
I will definitely make my system ground mounted for ease of access, easy to secure, easy to protect, since it hails a lot where I will be. Thanks for the pointers. LaMar.
I actually determined 400 to 600 watts is more than enough for me for what I would need to run. I don't even need a modem or a router as I got unlimited internet on my phone and good service and I can turn it into a hotspot. Modem and routers can actually be power hogs.
Hey, were those the same panels you used to have up on your roof? If so, you have a number of years on those panels now, do they still work as good as new or have they degraded some?
Hi, you should tilt up panels in winter for better efficiency. About 70 degrees
Great video thank you 😊
Thanks for this! We have so few sunny winter days anymore here in WI…wondering if its worth it
microwave ? what brand and model ?
