"Found" brick started our floor in the pole barn. The unusual hue of the walls is from our first coat of lime over the straw bales.

LFP 200 Portable Solar Power Generator System

 

This system can provide up to 1800 Watts of Pure Sine Wave (Regular Household Power) or regular 12v DC power you are used to using in your automobile.

 

The Battery modules can be recharged via Solar Power or a LiFePo4 specific quick charger. The batteries have digital battery monitors that display the exact state of charge of the battery and how long until the system needs to be recharged in hours and minutes.

First two coats of stucco on the back patio and straw bale wall.

This side event, co-hosted by IRENA and Norway, presented IRENA’s findings on off-grid and brought together practitioners to share experiences and identify concrete actions needed to scale-up off-grid renewable energy deployment.

waldoboro cabin and sauna birthday weekend for jeff. these photos by jay and nick not me.

56 KWH's of lithium battery storage on left, soon to be replaced by a new LiFePo4 battery bank.

 

The batteries pictured have worked flawlessly for 7 years (2 Chevy Volt and 1 Nissan Leaf), but they can be a fire hazard should one somehow catch fire as they are metal based.

 

The new LiFePo4 bank that I'm building right now is phosphate based and much safer, in fact, you can find destructive tests on YouTube where they try to catch one on fire and it's near impossible

 

I will sell off the Leaf and Volt batteries over time as they will make perfect candidates for golf cart conversions and are actually in high demand. Before I sell them, I'll run a capacity test on each of the (24) 48 volt modules so they will be accurately represented. As it stands, I can not tell any difference in how the system operates even after 7 years of 24/7 off grid use. It will be interesting to see how they test out.

In May 2014, we decided to leave the 9 to 5 and get off the grid. We found a school bus and are transforming it into a skoolie

Tri-Metric Solar Battery monitor. Works like a check register on your bank account......you can see charge status of the solar house batteries, power being used or put into the batteries, amp and watt input from the solar panels. Also have engine batteries wired into the monitor to keep track of their voltage also. The switches by the entry door are for the outdoor light above the entry door, electric steps, kitchen ceiling lights, and cargo bay lights

Suitable for areas where power is not available or negligible and objective is power supply for homes/small businesses. System comes with batteries which gets charged during daytime and supplies DC power to DC appliances. This is the most efficient system and has minimum conversion losses.

The beginning of the dirt track that leads to our home.

Once you have the basic mechanics of the [pole barn it is easy to add on. This is our labradorable bear sitting in what will become our bedroom.

Sometimes some leave their PC at home and go off grid to communicate & eat marsh-mellows at a campfire.
