So if you are curious about off-grid solar lighting – grow lights, like me, you’ll find there are not that many out there, and the ones I have found were too small for what I wanted. Finally, I found one that is designed like a street light, it lights the greenhouse and is made with … Read more
Imagine living a life powered by the sun, where each beam brings not just light, but also the energy to run your home. That’s not a distant dream; it’s a present-day reality for many off-grid adventurers. I’m going to explain the basics of solar power and how it’s revolutionizing off-grid living. Solar appliances aren’t just … Read more
There are many reasons to go solar; but the most common reason is to reduce your carbon footprint and cut energy costs.
Solar energy produces no pollution, has no detrimental environmental effects, and is ecologically sound.
Installing solar systems should not be looked at as an expense but rather as an investment.
The average American pays off their solar purchase in seven to eight years and sees a Return on Investment of about 20 to 30 percent.
We have a little cabin off grid and for the most part we don’t really need to use a fridge, but we have installed a small solar system for things like this.
I’ve been thinking it might be nice to have a fridge in the summer, especially since we will be spending more time there; so I started doing some research and found some that should work nicely.
This mini fridge is 15 litres and runs on 45 Watts so will be able to run on a 200 watt inverter with no problems.
Some great advantages to this one are:
Off Grid Solar System
This has been great! We put up a 200 watt solar panel and attached that to a 200 watt inverter with two plug ins. Now we have power!
Solar panel kits have come down in price and many great ones can now be purchased on Amazon. Here is an example of one from Amazon
A Tesla generator is a device that transforms the Sun’s radiant (electromagnetic energy) into power, electric power that will help to power your home.
More and more people are turning to renewable energy sources and becoming more eco friendly. Finding and using more environmentally energy sources is becoming more important to many people.
Nature Power 21030 Hanging Solar Powered LED Shed Light with Remote Control, Black Finish
I purchased this light from Amazon and must say it works better than I ever imagined. I thought it would give us a little light, but it is fantastic.
Time to look at some off the grid lighting as the cabin is getting closer to becoming a guest room. The generator has been there while we have been working, so it has not been to hard to light the place up, but that is certainly not a permanent fixture.
