RE: More Winter prepping vs Off grid options

in Outdoors and more2 years ago

We have these systems here too and I plan to get one as I think they're great. I know a few who have them and whilst our power is stable it sometimes goes out. Having a solar system doesn't help either as when the mains is out no power is supplied, and at night there's no sun...as you know. So, one of these is cool, even just to run the heater and air conditioner and fridge/freezer. I'll make it happen...They're a little more costly here though and so I need to plan it out.

Sort:  

And of course there are those large whole house batteries, or large portable batteries you can charge from the solar. I haven't done the math, but think those would only be good for a couple days with no other power or sunshine to charge them.

I think, based on cost, I'd go with the generator option like yours in preference to the battery, at this stage at least.
