The solar panels work too well! Stop them, for we, the corporate scum, aren’t getting our billions!
It reduces reliability rather than improving it.
I have so far a little over 2KW of electric panels, AGM deep cycle batteries and several Victron charge controllers.
I have everything to do with communications off the grid and my System 2000 boiler off grid.
I charge my power tool, lawnmower, phones, laptop, tablets and Kindle off grid.
The REAL difference in energy use is heating our hot water and some of the house with solar.
That is easily and relatively cheaply stored in an insulated tank.
We have an induction range and two self installed Mr. Cool mini-splits, so we may never get entirely off the grid.
Those mini splits are so efficient, our overall heating bill in northern NH, even with the price of electricity doubled last year and high heating oil prices is 1/3 to 1/2 less than before, keeping the house as warm or warmer.
