RE: About My Solar Array, Battery Bank, Winter Power Source & Water Setup
we were struggling until a couple days ago as only half of our system had been working for some time (and we kept putting it off and putting it off -fixing it)... so much less sun in winter on average, but when it is out, it does bring it in abundantly!
cool! yeah my partner met someone who was doing a wood gasifier- he's talked about it ever since, but it hasn't made it on any to-do list! i'll look forward to your post on that ;)
I saw that post! I really enjoy all your posts haha. You have a lot of solar panels, I imagine that helps in the winter. I get more than enough from the panels I have the rest of the year but more panels would mean less generator usage in winter. Hopefully I can find the same deal I got on these panels! A big issue too is when we get 2'+ dump of snow in a single day. It's a lot to clear off for generally only 50ish watts it produces. I was more motivated to obtain/make a gasifier when I was surrounded by endless trees but it's still pretty cool. They can even run vehicles! Steam would be another cool one to work with.
