BOMBSHELL! Just a few days after this videos was posted one of the biggest energy providers in Austria EVN has terminated older contracts with 20.000 PV customers in Austria. www.krone.at/3384394 Instead of getting around 15 Cents per KwH now they will only get a "Float tariff" between 2-3,12 Cents per KwH!!! Newer contracts currently stay at 4.5 Cents per KwH.

Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11,000 and got my payout of $290,500 every month…God bless Mrs Christy Fiore ❤️

Battery bank solves all the grid issues. You have your own when grid is down

Clever girl, that does her homework. And saves a lot of us a lot of time and effort, I will be watching for sure. Thank you x

I live of grid on my narrow boat All my electric is 12 volts I have 400 watts of power from my solar panels which I’ve fitted myself it’s fairly easy It cost me around a thousand pounds All my energy is stored into 4 large leisure batteries During winter this system is still good enough and suit’s my lifestyle I have free electricity Fantastic video Lilly 👍🏼🍻

Have a off grid system with a hybrid inverter

Never get an on-grid solar panel. Stay off-grid and out of the hands of the government

In US Texas they charge 50,000 usd for the solar and claim it will produce enough so no electric bill. You become part of the grid and are stuck with 1 electric company. Often your system won’t produce enough to be totally free. I’d have to ask my neighbors to cut down a tree. But they STILL would have sold it to me even though it wasn’t’ a good fit. They encourage you to get a loan. The only solar I’ll do is a battery system where I sell extra to an electric company.

If the grid fails you'll be comfortable knowing you can be prepared. Piece of mind is priceless ❤

I have 2 portable Jackery solar panels (200 watts total) and a small 1000 (or maybe it is 2000) generator/battery storage that goes with them just to have a back up for my small freezer. There is so much hail in this part of Texas that I would not want permanent ones on my roof. Also, many insurance companies are dropping people who have them because of the hail costs. Several solar farms in my area have been hit this year with massive hail damage causing harm to the environment with toxins leeching out of the broken panels. I pull my set up out every 3 months, discharge the battery/generator by running a window fan for several days, then recharge the system and store until needed. If I was to buy again, I would go the same way but use this other set up by another company that has a different battery which lasts longer than Jackery. I got this one during a black Friday sale.

The Solar sales guy sounds like a shyster.

This is one of the most informative, honest, and just plain "down-to-earth" presentations on home-based solar panels and solar energy that I ever have seen. Kudos to you. Great video! Thanks

Having the capacity to be grid-independent is a good thing. National infrastructure is strengthened when society can continue even if the centralized grid system becomes compromised. Nobody deserves to be price-gouged, though.

Full off-grid with power storage is the best option. It’s expensive, but for a prepper it’s the only reasonable solution.

We invested in the 1800 OUPES solar generator. It's kept in a faraday cage until needed and periodically charged up.

Also you have to consider the roof. If you penetrate the roof you could have a possible leak. Also, when it's time to replace the roof, you have to remove and reinstall the solar array. I've heard of installation using magnets on a metal roof which is a better idea than drilling holes. Thank you Lilly.

A good friend helped us build a system that's been kicking butt for five years now. I spent $17,000 USD but that included 18/250w panels, 24/6v batteries, inverter, charge controller, a vented propane wall heater, a hybrid (petrol/propane) 10kw back-up generator, an insulated 8ft x 12ft building to house the batteries and electronics and paying my friend 2,000 for a lot of work including an excavator digging a 205 ft trench and doing a lot of electrical work. It is a 48v system. The house is in the middle of the forest and grid electric is a mile away so after over 20 years, it was a very welcome luxury!

We're on unrestricted property. The solar setup is 600w on a good day. It does everything we ask of it. For major tool use we have the generator. Been off grid for nine years. Oh, hi Lilly!

Hello Lilly, thank you for sharing...

Another thing to consider here in the USA. Property insurance premiums can increase with solar panels on your roof. Due to weight, wind hazards, etc. Friend of mine just about doubled his insurance payments because of solar.

Solar Power from the USA. EG4 provides two types of allinones. grid and off grid: Grid the EG4 18k can send power back to the grid and you can you grid power when you need it. Off Grid does not send power back to the grid but it can use the grid when you need it. EG4 6000xp. Your grid for a 200a panel provides 48000W. To send power back to the grid: First the power company has to allow you (some do not) (It must be installed by a certified electrician using certified equipment). The off grid EG4 6000xp provides 6000w of power in the form of 2 120v 3000w sides. The sides do not share watts. This unit does not need batteries but works great with 48v batteries. This unit also includes 8000w PV input. We don't have the same electricity you do. Your terminality may be different ours. Good luck on your off grid build.

off grid is the way to go. like all things don't believe any of what you hear and half of what you see. solar panels out put half to two thirds of rated output. if you want 400 watts then 3 x 200watt panels will definitely do it for you. also 24v is becoming new standard.

Fit it yourself and get an electrical engineer check it out ! I fitted mine myself and it has paid for itself in 2.5 years and energy will keep going up

As someone who lives in an RV and spends a lot of time off grid, I love the setup I installed. Going on 4 years of use now and it still runs flawlessly. Admittedly, I spend most of my time in the desert (Arizona) and we have blue sky days almost year round. The Sun gives me enough power to run my Air Conditioning in the RV without issues. I can see how installs aren't beneficial to everyone, but mine has been a life changer. Mine cost $6100 in 2020 and it's been worth every penny to me. I wish you well with your Island Install on the wall of your shed. It'll come in handy if there's an extended blackout. Speaking of blackouts, did you folks get to see the Northern Lights with the last Solar Storm we had a few days ago? I hope you did. Another complex sunspot cluster is moving on to the Earth facing side of the Sun right now so we might get more Solar Flares and CMEs.

They showed your Naked and Afraid episode again on the Discovery Channel other day. Great show!

Here in New York State, they had grant programs and a regional group organized a group purchase price. Yes, the electric company is getting energy for cheap compared to what they sell it. We got a good deal, otherwise we could afford it. The US government has always supported the coal and oil industries.

It’s a simple diy . You definitely can Lilly

I have 600 watts of solar panels tied to my Xantrex charge controller mounted on top of my 8’x16’ cargo trailer and connected to 2 100 ah Dakota LiPo batteries. They run all my fridge, lights, exterior lights, CPAP and my vacuum cleaner with no issues from a 2000 watt pure sine inverter. I can camp for months if I want. I have a 20kw standby generator that operates from propane as whole house back up power. But I can run 4 refrigerator freezers (house and trailer) from my cargo trailer solar system power.

Sounds good Lilly! I have a very small emergency backup solar system with a battery so I can run the furnace in winter or freezer/fridge in summer. It would get us through a 12 hour outage with no sun. Here in the U.S. the utility companies have small crews so the outages after storms are lasting longer.

Wise choice, so many crooks in solar business, it's good to have a friend that understands the need. I don't recommend grid tie.

We put solar on our house and our bill is cheep now! It is definitely worth the money! Our bill was 600.00 a month and the rates just keep going up so you’re going to pay it back a lot sooner!

Here in Australia if there are too many houses with solar, it pushes up the voltage in the area; which will then cause the solar system to shut itself down, to prevent damage from high voltage. This voltage can be adjust at the local transformers, by the city council, who will most likely need to be pushed into action.

I’ve had solar panels since 2012. The time to repay the investment was important. I calculated it would take 8-9 years and this is exactly how it worked out. Fortunately here in the UK the Government provided a tariff for solar generation that was 3-4 x the unit cost price for consumption. This has worked well for me as the returns from the solar energy pays for my annual gas and electricity consumption.

Just a shout out to Will Prowse of DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse my favorite solar KZfaq creator. His plans and advice were used by Lilly to make her 2 diy solar generators.

My favorite Solar System is the one that includes Pluto.

Invest in a battery system Lilly, Then You can go off grid with switch on Your electric box.

I'm glad you learned and saw the truth about solar. If you have a system installed professionally, 60% or more of the cost is the installation. Then the company will "pad" the price of all the equipment to cover their responsibility to "warranty" the items and provide you replacements or compensation in the future if something fails. Solar panels are cheap now, and good quality inverters and other components are also quite cheap compared to years ago. I worked a short time for a solar installation company but left them because I couldn't stand all the scamming going on. They were selling systems which had no capacity to perform as they stated, nor be modified or updated to perform as they stated. I self-installed a 4000 watt grid tie-with battery backup system at my home for about $8,000 in equipment cost about 8 years ago. It's been erasing about $75 to $125 of my electric bill (depending on season) for the past 8 years with no equipment replacement cost or manitainance cost. It's already paid for itself, and now for the next 30+ years I'll get free power from it. By the way, don' worry about solar panels "getting old". Any reputable brand is guaranteed to have at least 80% of their original output after 25 years. They degrade less than 1% per year. If they don't get damaged by lightning or hail, just leave them up and let them generate free electricity for you. Here in the states it is a bit easier for a "do-it-yourselfer" to self install a system, depending on if you live in one of our communist states (Democratic run) or not. My advice, don't get too deep into the "expensive new tech" of solar, with all the lithium batteries and bells-and-whistles components with data logging and stuff. A great little system can be put together cheap with cheaper, old-model solar panels, a rugged transformer type inverter, PWM charge controllers and some golf cart batteries or marine batteries from Walmart. If you've got money to play with then you can add some higher end components. Always buy inverters/charge controllers "upsized" so you can add more panels later. You can also always "add more batteries" to a system to make your off grid backup capabilities better. Anyone not afraid to try to install a "car battery" could learn to put in a solar power system by just watching a few KZfaq videos (like Lilly's). By they way, that government program you have there where you can just "plug in" 600-800 watts of grid tie solar into your house wiring without a lot of hassle is really smart, a very good move by your government. We have no such law here. Essentially someone told your government people that the average household circuit easily handles 3000 watts (I presume your individual room circuits are 220 volt there), so back feeding 600-800 watts is pretty safe and chance of an overload fire is very low. (if you were running 3800 watts of load on a circuit by your solar panels were making 800 watts of it "after the circuit breaker" you wires could be overloaded and could heat up, that's they only way things could get crazy. There are lots of people putting up small systems in the US "under the radar", but to stop worrying about "getting nabbed" and getting a fine or an order to remove the system, you have to register with the power company and in most places have an inspection of your equipment. I got mine registered and it's all legal, and I live in a very cooperated state.

Awesome job Lilly. There is a young fellow here on you tube that's a genius in this field , he teaches from the very basics to the most complicated. With his simple instructions anyone can do it. His channel is" Will Prowse "

I don't care about green as much as I care about saving money.

I did my 5kW system last week that includes x6 550W panels and a 6kW/h Battery for €2500 here in South Africa. That price includes the labor and all parts. Equipment used is also good quality equipment that comes with a 25 year warranty.

Glad you were honest about off grid. Most who make YT videos and make claims of being off grid lie about it. No matter how big your system is you will need to use a generator or other sources of energy such as wood or propane.

SMART MOVE

Keep in mind that you check and charge the battery bank periodically. I've lost several batteries by not doing that....

Looking forward to your videos of you building your new solar system. Sounds like a great idea. Also sounds like a challenge. I’m confident that you are more than capable of the task. Best of luck Lilly.

Thank You Lilly for bringing these solar energy issues to light! Äm in the States & have been bombarded with adds & offers that turn out to be unaffordable and not practical for my area. I also believe in the smaller options. Thanks again for breaking this down- hope people pay attention! ☮️

You made the correct choice. Glad you checked around for information. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

THANK YOU for this video. I've been saying exactly what you are saying about solar panels. for the most part they are NOT worth the long term cost. Several neighbors had solar panels installed, but they won't tell me how much money they are saving. Wonder why?

We have commercially installed roof solar. It cost $33K, minus $11K federal incentives, grand total $22K. It was my wife's idea; she wanted it. I wanted a small DIY solar panel or two, to power my home office which would have been vastly cheaper. So she had to take out a loan and pay for it herself. In two years we have paid $16 total electric bills. It has the cut-off as Lilly describes, so when the grid goes down, we have no power, just like everyone else. The only workaround is to get a battery such as a Tesla Powerwall and then we can finally be off-grid, at least for 2-3 days. This is my next goal, because in my town we have power outages about every 60 days, very annoying.

O Lily...Your good to us, for sharing your concerns and the solar project. Thank You!

Lilly thanks for having a calm sensable discussion like this. I think the problem is not with the technology but a problem with fitting it into a for profit capitalist economic system. As you point out a problem is matching peak production peiods with peak usage periods. This was addressed by other commenters in pointing out the use of the battery storage system. The problem with this for the capitalist profiteer is that the solar system would be in the hands of the consumer with no opertunity for profit for power companies. This is an example of localization over centralisation. We need to understand though that with localisation we need to take more personal responcibility for the resourses that are available. Great job keep up the good work.

If it were me, considering the worries of things catching fire and burning my house down, I would build an independent system (an island system I think is what you called it) of whatever size I needed in panel watt real estate, and wire it to my own battery storage system. If you have the room, just put up a nice BBQ entertainment patio in the back yard and use solar panels to roof it. The battery storage could be a separate small shed like you are presently using, but not wired into the grid. Use dedicated plugs in your house wired directly to the battery system, or have an electrician add a panel that can be switched from grid power to your battery power but not both at the same time. The reason for disconnecting the grid is because nobody wants to work on downed power lines during a blackout while solar panel juice is still keeping the system live from your system! Whatever you do yourself, or by hiring an electrician, do not use aluminum wiring anywhere in the system; stick to copper! Also, this battery system can be dual purpose! EV's these days have large battery systems built in, and some can even supply juice for external use. I think Ford pickups now offer this, and my Jeep Hybrid will let me use the 17kw battery to power my house or whatever up to a 30amp draw. Solar panels can be used to charge the EV batteries alone. You've probably heard of the Will Prowse KZfaq channel by now. He has several years of videos covering solar panel use and lithium battery system reviews!

Every thing you said is true. However, there are options if you find a contractor to install your system or DIY. Local contractors can be way cheaper than the solar companies and DIY is the cheapest option. You did the right thing by starting small. It’s important to allow room for upgrades in the future. I recommend starting with systems that allow future growth without having to rebuy everything.

You are a clever girl! We live in Tenerife and I installed a system myself. One 370W and one 200 W panel. Cost with inverter 370 Euro. I don’t want to give away electricity so the 200 W are automatically disconnected in the middle of the day. Cost saving is 23% and the system is payed within 2,5 years. You made a good choice! I adjust the angle on the 370 W panel once a month. 😊

Suggestion: Place an Automatic Transfer/Isolation Switch between the Public Service Mains of your power supplier and your Domestic power systems. Then structure your primary Solar System to supply your home with power, add a generator to assist your solar power systems with recharging the household battery bank and supplying the household in power outages. Then during normal daily activities you can send power to the Mains, but in an emergency all of your power will be isolated from the system, thereby not wasting any, and maintaining safety for any power-line workers.

I have a relative who had panels installed on their roof. When they were put on, the end of the panels were over their rain gutters, and during a heavy rain, the water bypassed the gutters, and destroyed the foundation of their house.

Large scale solar worries me for the investment, thank you for making this video Lilly.

Thank you Lilly for your honesty opinion much appreciated

Thanks Lilly. Great video.

Just got solar for my house. 6 years pay off. I’m happy with it and I’m hedged against the inevitable rise. 25 year warranty from a local company. Do the research and let your insurance know when you do it.

Great video Lilly!

Hi Lilly, I built three systems after your video where you showed how you did it...Thank you for your great job!!!

Thank you Lily, very informative video.

Hi lilly, just wanted to say that I miss your archery vids. I've not long bought a 62'' take down recurve with a 50lb draw weight. After I'd watched a few of your older videos I decide to follow your decision on making mine a somewhat of a hybrid as you did. 3 pin sight and peep sight. I'm really happy with the results and just wanted to thank you as it was by watching your channel that I learned how to set up my bow. Anyway, I'd love to see you doing some more vids on archery. 🙂👍

Great information Lilly much appreciated

I have solar at my off grid cabin, and at our grid tied home. I strongly advise against backfeeding your power to the power company/utility. The cost for inverters, safety equipment and permits would be better spent if you invested in some batteries (even lead acid ones). The utility compnay can change the rules on what your power is worth at a moments notice, extending the return rate on your investment (if you see it as one); whereas, if you have a fully powered battery bank, you can go days (or weeks) before the power is restored. I look at solar as a way to not buy gasoline for a generator (both of which you should have). 400W is a bit on the small side for where I live, but it all depends on your requirements. Good content overall.

Excellent information Lilly :)

We need more people like you My Dear. Keep doing what you're doing. Look up free energy build it.

I never regretted my subscription to this channel. Keep up the good work!

I've been off grid for around 6 years, don't ever want to be on grid again. I have far fewer power outages and it only takes about 30 minutes to replace the inverter or charge controller to get the system going again. After 5 years my flooded lead acid batteries gave out and I rebuilt the system and upgraded. Actually I've been upgrading things. I still use cheap stuff but I'm getting much better performance and so far no problems, other than replacing the cooling fans in the power inverter. I was surprised at how well my first system did even though it was so cheap. My two current systems are a collection of everything I've learned to build a cheap but reliable higher performance system. My small system uses three 250 watt used solar panels($150), a cheap pure sine wave 2000 Watt continuous power inverter, a Make Sky Blue MPPT charge controller($100), and two 6 volt 200 amp hour Mighty Max sealed lead acid batteries($439). If you don't run these batteries down too far they're supposed to last 10 years. I put two posts in the ground and built a wood frame to hold the panels on a tiltable frame that I can lock pointing East West or straight up and even all in between. I built a box for everything else and put it under the solar panels. I even added cooling fans and a thermostat control. Keeping the power inverter and charge controller cool is a very good thing. The system will run my 6000 BTU air conditioner non-stop all day and if I cut it off before the batteries start getting run down when the Sun goes down I can use the batteries to run the ac an hour or two at night. My large system has all the same stuff just more of it. One system is about 2 years old and the other around a year old. Only problem I've had is having to replace the cooling fans in the power inverters. So far I've never had to replace fans that I've already replaced. Always get higher quality ball bearing fans off eBay for around $20

Thank you , Lilly, for your excellent presentation. I learned a lot.

Here in Florida. We purchased 4 to 8 panels at a time. 100 Watts each @ $98 each when on sale. We have 4.3 kilowatts of panels and three battery banks. A 2k bank, a 4k bank and 8k bank. We have 8 inverters. One 3k, three 2k and four 400 watt inverters. All pure sine wave inverters. We also purchased a 10,000 watt inverter dual fuel generator, a 3,500 watt dual fuel generator, a 2,000 watt inverter gasoline generator. We spent about $9,000 so far and are fixing to order two new 60 amp mppt charge controllers. We started with cheap pwm charge controllers. DIY Solar System with multiple battery banks and multiple generators was a good way to go for us. Two of our generator run on either gasoline or propane gas. Great Video👍

This brings a smile to my face. Thank god for smart ladies like yourself.. You are on the right track. You will eventually install a battery bank and a grid tied inverter thst can automatically cut supply to the grid during outage.. What you have is fine but you will follow your present success with more successful projects. Our house is off grid for 22 years but we installed a new ( s/h) battery bank of 60 forklift cells@ 120vdc in 2008. We installed a Chinese WT and later 3.8kw + 1500kw of solar pv. Its good. Its not perfect but we are never stuck.. Our inverter is 2kw but we use 3 x 2kw controllers . We heat over 500ltrs of water in 2 separate tanks. Each with a 2kw immersion heater to control our 2kw x 120vdc wind turbine. The whole system is completely automatic.... I wish you luck. I have no doubt that you will succeed.. G

Hello Lilly! I am from Argentina, South America. If i have to recommend solar PV systems for homes, y would reccomend just to keep off grid the refrigerator and a freezer. Those are working the 365 days, the 24hs (and some extra power to recharge a power station). The other electric devices can be administrated by the home owner, in order to save energy and money. Buy very efficient refrigerators and freezers and then invest in solar panels and batteries for this devices. Keep on grid for the others. In case of blackout, the food in the refrigerator and the freezer is safe. Meanwhile, if you have some extra power enough to charge a power station, cell phones and rechargeable batteries for lanterns, you will have all the energy you need to overcome an emergency. I Stay tuned!

Lilly I love your laugh 😂 what will it take for you to do it more often ❤

Your 100% correct , I was quoted €24,000 about 7 years ago for solar , and then they were telling me oh ! You cannot use everything at the same time ! You have to think all the time what is on , so I couldn’t weld while the washing machine was on etc etc as a guide ! My wife wasn’t having it so I’m glad we stayed on the grid , and it works perfectly.

thank you Lily, you are raising awareness :)

Looking forward to seeing your future build 🤠

G'day Lilly, We set up an off grid system for our cottage on the farm, 1KW of solar collection 400 watt wind turbine 4 x 120 AH quality LiPo batteries we chose 24 volts because the step up is less from that to 240 AC than from 12Volts.A 2KW Inverter through an ATS to a 6KVA Diesel generator the ATS thinks the inverter is the grid and the generator is whatever, there's a 35amp battery charger connected to the batteries so they're being charged whilst the generator is running in the case of a lack of sun and wind, all in a separate shed to the dwelling 👍.

great video .. i run a bluetti ac200p with sp350 and pv350 panels ... 700 watts total . thank you for your insight and recommendations , now and years past . looking forward to your series on the island solar system

Well done - our electricity company in Australia also purchases our solar power at a cheap rate and sells to a higher rate later - like buying a $60 umbrella instead of $5 -a shady deal

These green systems are usually out of touch for the average household! They also like to guilt shame you into your purchase! It’s a sham!

For people not offgrid, “solar shed”/workshop probably makes more sense and can be used as the backup generator for the house if you set things up correctly. Depending on you local regulations, islanding might make more sense than directly linking to house grid. Additionally, in some areas using a battery/inverter system to do “peak shaving” of house power might work out without having to hook up to panels or turbines and also covers short outages as well.

I installed mine myself but it wasn't as big as what you were looking at. I saved a few parts every month till I had everything I needed. That way it doesn't cost as much. I ordered mine through Sun Solar. I think that was there name. They are in Canada.

Im here in Central EU Lily on a 400 sqm property. I was payin around almost 800 EUR /month without the panels . Its about half of that now with the 10kw system. It doesnt take18 years to break even depends what kina house you got , 5 years in Ill easily recoup my cost.The energy prices here in EU being so high, it does make a difference compared to let say USA

I have a 2kw on grid solar system which almost covers my mains bill. But I also have a 4kw off grid system that goes into 30off 100ah Lifepo4 batteries. I'm now using the off grid system and the mains power is my back up 😅

Yes! I would love to see your solar system work around. ❤

Hello Lili, I greet you from Colombia, my name is Guillermo Muñoz and I am watching you on the Discovery channel program, you do it very well, congratulations.

I hear your sick .....sending healing prayers your way

If a micro inverter is connected to a regular grid without a special meter in the U.S. it will actually add the amount of oiwer produced to your electric bill instead of subtracting it.

The labor is always 2 times or more of the actual cost of the system! You have to have battery backup and a switch to shut down the power when you go over the amount you use so you have power all year round! You have to be careful with who you go with! Ac in Los Angeles California can be 500.00-1000.00 a month in electrical bills!

Off-grid ground mounted used 240 watt panels, for a total of 5.2 kwatt of Solar 1500 with delivery 12 kwatt off-grid solar inverter charge 1300 30 kwatt LiFePo4 batteries 9200 I installed it myself

I put 5kw panels with fronius hybrid inverter with 3500euros it took up 24 meters of space on concrete slab roof. I get 45kw of power a day in southern Greece in the summer and about 10kw a day in winter. . I only use 16kw A day the rest is stored for 3 years with energy company. I use the stored energy in the winter for heating. i always produce more than i use. the energy company keeps the surplus. My last bill before solar installation was 650 euros for 4 months. it was a good choice for us.

Thanks for the great info. I took your advice on the e-bike Engle E 26. Great bike for the price.

You’re very intelligent & informative 😊

to get my panels and chargers/inverters to do 10 KW I got it for $3500(no batteries)(USA)... It is not that hard to do and maybe try to do a garage to run critical loads(freezers, fridge) or set up a charge rack for power outage you can use an inverter to at least provide back up heat/AC

We installed a 7.1 kWh system 18 months ago including a Tesla battery. Last quarter our bill was $25 whereas a typical summer quarter was $500 or more. Reliability of supply was an issue and there have been power outages that we haven’t been aware of, and now we hardly ever dip into the grid and are mostly self sufficient, though feeding back many kilowatts of power to the grid which helps the environment overall. Plenty of sunlight hours here in Australia!

Lovely Lilly🌷

Where I live we are too far north for solar systems to work well but people do buy them anyway. A large factory just put in a field of solar panels right next to the freeway. Besides not getting enough light most of the year they're going to be covered in freeway dust, dust from their giant factory, and dust from the farm fields they are next to. What really makes me angry is we have to pay extra for electricity so the electric company could build solar plants and windmills and then we have to pay extra to keep those running.

Yes I have a couple of smaller solar boxes and a bigger Gas generator... I have just ordered two Duel Fuel generators that will be enough power if I need it...

Good luck Lilly and I'll be watching you building it up. Are you going to or thinking about batteries as well? I believe anything we can do will help us, even if we have to do it a little at a time.
