As a sleeper, with an stressful IT job, living in a shared living apartment i had to limit myself for many years to a vision.
A Vision of an off-grid ,eremitic, but yet most self- sustainable lifestyle, Best executed on a in the Asian ocean.
Only connected to the town, with an Sailboat, a Dinghy and some mysterious fast fictional high Speed Internet which became Starlink.
I quit my job, told my country to fuck himself and left.
I was on a mission to find a new home far away from my disgusting home country, which even tells you the mandatory colour of YOUR housepaint. Sry but they failed me so hard. Lucky was consequent in my intention to leave. I never accepted any help from government, i moved abroad, not to support my passport country with income tax. I was still in good range to be close to family and friends, but one day it happened again. I was about to burn off a big semiprofessional firework with weeks of preparation work, on my own expense, just to make a Silvester Party with my old school class members having the same incredible 15 min of Joy and Love as we had so many previous times before...just,.. all town was expecting it, and so did the police, an incredible force of power. I could only forgive them for the treatment they applied, when I think of how impactful this was, to find the right moment to leave.
So I hooked on and went away.
I joined a sailboat, explored and lived and finally landed on shore of Borneo, where I met my wife.
Everything changed..and after some time together Corona /Visa Policy made us tumble finally. So we suddenly "ended up" in Greece, where we spent dozens of holidays already, doing Olive farming, and working on our visions.
I reactivated the solar knowhow, started going an made the biggest investment I ever had, to make it happen. By design I tried to satisfy the needs of a bitcoin ASIC.
After two winter and one summer on gasoline generator without fridge and a governmental assist for a grid connection was not in sight, a hybrid grid solution was cancelled.
I ordered before the latest price rally, the inverters and battery. All well oversized to my long sight plans.
I installed it all on my own, which saved guessed 40% in costs.
In spring I realised, that our energy consumption wasn't high enough and we loose half a day of sunshine. I added a powerful S19 Pro with 110k and 85k in low power mode.
Homeassistant on a Raspberry Pi Z in Docker made the rest happen.
The miner now draws the battery early morning down, to a level which is expected to get compensated with the forecast sunshine and many other indicators.But here it gets complicated
The goal to reach 95%-100% Battery SOC has proven pretty reliable over the last two seasons. Winter is coming
The miner just earns about 7ct/kwh for excess energy but still it helps every month to nullify our water bill
Current or Future Solar Power System
Jinko Panels, 12x 455Wp + 1x460Wp in series with a SunnyBoy 6.0 connected
SMA SI 8.0 managed the loads and the charge of a 19.8KWh BYD LVS Battery
Complement information:
An 1 to 3 Phase Converter from Vevor provides me 4KW, suitable for many applications(mainly woodchopper) up 120m in distance.
The House is totally off-grid and given the freedom of my electric design, i concepted it for a continuous load of 6KW AC with 4mm²
