RE: Living in Luxury Off the Grid - For We Who Hunger for Power! (part 1)

in #offthegrid7 years ago

This is very interesting - I try to be environmentally aware and leave as small a footprint as possible - this could be interesting. Using the sun and the water for power...I love the idea. I hate being on the coal/diesel grid. Not only harmful, but very unreliable especially during storms or snow. This would be a cool alternative.

Sort:  

It is kind of funny that you mention storms - that is one of our most reliable times in comparison to the people in the towns around us. Other people will be without power for 2 days to 1.5 weeks a couple times each year and we'll be doing great. There's often maintenance and occasionally repairs that you generally don't deal with on the grid but what's life without a little adventure and the acquisition of knowledge that you never thought you'd need to know? 👍😊

Having more than 1 source has been a huge help particularly as the seasons change.

Thats so cool! I need to do something like this :)
