Power Stations - Homesteading Forum I use Solar to power our house In my world view, these 'power stations' or 'generators' are a marketing scam If you want solar power, do solar power
What generator brands to buy avoid - Homesteading Forum I placed my order and the parts arrived within 3 days The generators are built and wound here in the USA so replacement parts are easy to get They use oversized diodes on the generator And their service is top notch (free service manuals and fast response to my pricing requests) I think they are using Lombardini diesel engines now
anyone used this generator - Homesteading Forum Don't expect a solar generator to run anything heavy like a fridge, stove, boiler, even a hair dryer But something that size can be very useful for lights, maybe a small computer and internet router, charging phones, charging flashlights, and a music player
When the Lights Go Out: Preparing for the Unpredictable. . . With solar input and expandable storage, the Apex 300 gives me freedom—freedom to stay longer, go further, and remain connected without compromise Conclusion Whether you’re dealing with ice storms in the north or hurricanes on the coast, the need for reliable backup power is universal—and increasingly urgent
Anyone have or used a solar generator? Worth it? The Solar panels will charge the batteries back if all I am doing is running a couple of lights and a small radio BUT I also have a genrac 3750watt gas generator to run things like the fridge and freezer a few hours in the morning and evening to keep them cold, or to wash a load of clothes
Off grid refrigeration question - Homesteading Forum This question is for those who live off grid What kind of refrigeration do you have? Do you have a regular refrigerator? A propane electric combo? A smaller size?
Solar system off grid - Homesteading Forum A solar implementation will require some reasoning and technical abilities that many don't have or wish to learn And finding a competent service service person is a frequent complaint Also, that solar project will have to be pretty substantial (and expensive) if the electrical usage in the house wasn't planned around solar up front
Hyrdo Energy From a Pond??? Input on another crazy idea. What will work if you go with either wind or solar and don't like batteries is a flywheel energy storage device Unlike batteries, flywheel energy storage is relatively new and is certain to improve in performance with advancements in materials science
Leasing property to solar company - Homesteading Forum I’ve recently been approached by a solar company interested in leasing or buying my property I’d say up to 30 acres is a viable location for a solar farm About 35 acres is steep, wooded and north facing I’m tempted by this because my property was once pasture but was let go before I bought it and is in need of reestablishing drainage
Adding auxillary fuel tank to generator - Homesteading Forum I have an off-grid cabin where electricity is supplied solely by generator power Eventually I would like to move to solar power -- that's not in the cards for a while though I have two generators, a Honda EU2000 and a Generac 8500 watt, inside a smallish shed with power vents I hate having
