    12v common appliances (amazon basics dc fan)

    I was looking for a small 6" or 8" 12 volt fan that I can connect to 12 volt fuse block or USB port and found this one on amazon and really like it, super quiet, lots of air movement so much that I got another one for my desk station. So can use this fan without inverter to blow more air on the...

    Predator or Champion?

    Someone mentioned YJ. My 1990 YJ 4 cylinder gets me around at my off grid cabin. 288,000 plus miles since 2017.

    Giandel vs WzRELB vs Inverter.com

    I had a WZRELV 3000 12 volt recently and had plenty of power to run household appliances as well as a portable table saw and 10" chop shop. However I found it quite noisy and frequently kicking on the small fans. Added a small table fan to help blow on the inverter and that helped some. Liked...

    Beginning of off grid cabin suitcase 150 watt solar kit.

    Had a couple cloudy rain days, so switched the frig back to propane to allow the batteries to fully recharge. Oddly my Lipo battery charger died and not able to use the generator with charger for auxiliary source. Everything else was was fine on solar.

    Beginning of off grid cabin suitcase 150 watt solar kit.

    I get that about the expectations. Just to have some options and a few angle changes during the year. Noticing the sun rise and sun sets during the winter and summers is interesting with no obstructions and a happy medium with a south south west direction of the solar array. Easy angle change...

    Beginning of off grid cabin suitcase 150 watt solar kit.

    Little brother did most of the cutting and assembly of this new steel adjustable array from left over parts but mostly my design and liked the adjustable abilities, we spend about every other month at the cabin or 6 months a year. I like having to easily change the angles on the original wood...

    Beginning of off grid cabin suitcase 150 watt solar kit.

    My little 288 sq. ft. off grid cabin in far west Texas. This a 150 watt suitcase kit that I've had for a small camper and made an adjustable ground wood frame for it. Currently working on a 600 watt adjustable solar array to go with the existing 150 watt system. Have 3-100 ah renogy batteries...
