Question I often get when people discover I run primarily off-grid are: "How can I have the same system? How much does it cost? Can you help me set it up?" While I’m not a solar professional, and therefore can’t offer installation services, I find the
Eight years ago, I embarked on a journey into renewable energy with an off-grid solar setup. One of my primary goal from the start was to create a real-time energy monitoring dashboard that would provide a continuous visualization on the performance and output of each component of the system—energy
Lithium batteries are fast becoming the default energy storage system for most homes and industries. The last 2 years as seen an explosion in demand for Lithium. This increased demand is complimented by a sharp drop in pricing of lithium batteries. All of this has lead to a state where
I started a blog series documenting a budget off-grid solar-inverter setup I am currently working on. The first post in the series focused on how to carry out an energy audit to help scope the power and energy requirements. This post will be focused on solar panels, how to determine
Lithium-ion phosphate batteries, also known as LiFePO4 batteries, have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their high energy density, relatively stable safety record, and long cycle life. An Average LifePO4 battery can last for up to 10 years and even then 80% of its original capacity would still
