RE: Solar on the Homestead & Reducing Your Energy Consumption

in #homesteadiung6 years ago

Thanks for sharing, inspiring! I'm going to share a tip that may be helpful for others in specific situations.... I recently returned from a stay at an eco village in Jamaica. They requested we turn the refrigerator off at night to keep prevent the solar batteries from running out. I came up with a solution to keep the small amount of food I had very cold throughout the night (in a hot climate)... I turned the freezer into a cooler! I filled a big pitcher with water and froze it during the day. At night, when the unit was off, I put my foods in the freezer with the giant ice block. It worked wonderfully!

I know some people who use coolers for refrigeration year round. They make it work for them! That was a great idea, thanks for sharing.
