- Background
- A lifetime unexpectedly preparing for life off the grid (and loving it).
- Current or Future Solar Power System
- Primary: 1,750 watts of solar panels; 48 volt LiFePo batteries, Victron electronics (Multi-Plus II, MPPT controller, etc.), Perkins diesel 7kW generator
Secondary: 100 watt solar panel; 12 volt Trojan FLA batteries, Xantrex inverter charter, Midnight charge controller, Honda EM5000S generator
Signature
Systems: All off-grid (except the van, it's plugged into the grid occasionally)

Secondary: 1200W solar, Outback 60 MPPT (circa 2008), Outback 3524 inverter (circa 2008), 24|305 ah DIY battery, Honda EM5000S generator. This is a cabin system and it's dialed.
