Snow Storm Hits and the Solar Panels Quit

December 22, 2017 / webbermd / Leave a comment

During the winter gray skies and snow defeat our solar panels' power production.  This is the time of year we rely heavily upon our backup generator once the battery bank is spent. Removing snow from the panels, isn’t too bad, but if left undone it can become a real problem if the snow melts into … Continue reading Snow Storm Hits and the Solar Panels Quit

When designing an off grid power system, the first thing to do is know your current use of power and cut it till it hurts either because you can … Continue reading Cut “it” till it hurts is power conservation

Electricity, making the choice to be off grid.

April 4, 2015December 28, 2019 / webbermd / Leave a comment

For us the choice was purely economical and a desire to be self-sufficient. The choice to live off grid is not a desire of most people, and I am not trying to convert anyone to the idea. However, if you like to save money, which most of us do, many of our off grid tips … Continue reading Electricity, making the choice to be off grid.
