You can't spend time on this forum and remain unaware of the dangers. Therefore your post about complacency is misplaced, the irony is you posted it this thread.

Thanks I asked because I also have a gas furnace as my secondary and a combined 30k BTU's of mini split units as my primary. On 12/23 we hit -2F up here near the Poconos and both systems were blowing enough heat. I was surprised because I plan to add another 12K unit. I considered my systems...

Curious why you have go secondary at 25F?

A seedling heating mat draws about 20 watts and could be plugged into WiFi outlet plug which allows for control from anywhere. You can get both for around $40

Are you asking if the inverter output has to be the same or close to the battery capacity?

What are the 2 black boxes between the busbars and the inverters? T class fuse?

I'm doing something kind of similar but I'm a newb and not an electrician so I can't offer a solution. However your situation brings a couple questions to mind. Is it possible to run the backup power to the sub panel equipped with an interlock to lock out power coming from the main panel...

I'd install the inverter and batteries in the bunkie. Leave the generator hooked up to the main panel and run the AC power out from the inverter to the main panel connected to a breaker with an interlock. In the states 14/2 wire is rated for 15 amps 12/2 for 20 amps.

Maybe a core insulated concrete block structure with some good ventilation as a cheap solution. Add a small solar powered fan to exhaust heat build up and keep the air moving.

Maybe you just want something like this, if AC when the grid is down is your biggest concern. https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-hybrid-ac-dc-solar-air-conditioner-1-ton/

I see we both worked in commercial construction. Retired after 35 years in a Philly trade union. I assume most people have not worked with metal studs and probably will try to source them at home depot. So the selection is as limited as there experience with metal studs. It sounds like the...

I believe it allows you to transfer/switch the output from 2 input power sources. In the picture it appears the switch is being used to select between solar power and grid power input to power a heat pump.

Celsius Network's bankruptcy might have just set a precedent in determining what crypto assets belong to whom when stored on a centralized platform. https://www.axios.com/2023/01/04/celsius-bankruptcy-earn-accounts

I'm stacking 2 Trophy 220ah batteries vertically. 60" high x 20" length x 10" wide. So I'm fitting 440ah of 48v batteries in a 20" x 10" footprint. Taking advantage of height and the ability to use the batteries in the vertical position.
