Unless you’re making your own propane, you’re not really off the grid…

ok, I agree with you about getting off the electric grid, but where do you
thing your propane is coming from? #fracking

excellent hardware but the batteries are less than desirable imho.

Jesus people, give him a break on the propane unless you’re 100% off grid
yourselves.
Living off grid comes with chores, so the propane is simple a luxury he
uses for backup heat and a few other items.

keep a eye on your 3kw turbine, they are now made in India. I repaired one
last year after it shook itself to death. One of the tape came off the prop
and created a very bad vibration. The mountings screws fell off the plastic
junction box witch led to the breaking of the field wires. It also wore the
main power line inside the tower from rubbing. They have to be taken down
EVERY year to check and replace defective parts.I have read more negative
then positive stories on them. I have checked all local repair shops and no
one will touch them. Good luck with yours.

You need better blades and to elevate that 2 blade turbine. That first
turbine is jammin. In many cases, its better to use motors with weak
magnetic fields, it allows you to use smaller blades and they will spin
even in the weakest winds.

How are you making propane from solar? Or did I not hear him correctly?

Wondering if you can forward the material used or what “complete package”
to order.
Why you took Xantrex vs Outback vs trace engineering
Greatly appreciated

Nice set-up my father has been off the grid here in nova scotia for over 10
years, myself being closely involved and I notice your batteries in this
system seem small in the amp hours dept, you should look at surette/rolls
batteries made in springhill, thats what my father has, each 6v battery is
460 amp hours(mind you each battery is 117 lbs) and are extremely durable
after 10 years i just finished desulfating them and they work like new
again, i did make a video 5 years ago about his system and more resent
videos about the desulfating the batteries

That wind turbine support may shade your panels at times. If shade hits
one or more panels on a string, the whole string will be significantly
handicapped if not neutralized, and then that underperforming string will
be averaged with the performing strings paralelled in the array, having
some viral impact.
