😊 love it
Looks like way too much for way too little
That’s cold. Wood Stove for indoors all the way !!❤❤❤
what is your wood stove brand? heard of blazeking cat stove, very efficient with soft wood , it will pay itself within few years if not less
Blaze King Boxer. I have two. Getting a bigger one for the house, probably the King or Princess. Blaze King is where it’s at.
Love these updates with little nuggets of info. I just got an old lister diesel generator. It works ok but going to strip it clean and grease everything and replace seals and filter. These proper old ones are great theres so few parts you dont have to be a mechanic to give it a go. Its less efficient but old enough it can run on anything so plan is used veg oil and clean it using pork gelatine. So quick and easy. Thanks to robert murray smith. a uk clever clogs that puts out a ton of content on different ways to generate power, heat etc. Well worth a look to anyone interested or living off grid.
a greenhouse kiln. good idea
Also, you can have multiple inverters on one batt bank so you could hook up a solark or eg4 18k as a redundancy that also comes with more mppt’s. Use a bypass to your home ac when and if your other two go down. The DC side gets extra strong and you have backup ac when you need it.
Thank you.
👍🏻
yeah don’t make the mistake of waiting a day to get it off the panels I made this mistake this last snow fall and I’ll tell ya the icy mess really really sucks at the bottom of the panels I’m waiting for a warmup 😉 got to stay on it or you’ll be without some of your precious production. 😉
Shout outs from north Michigan. Can you please confirm that you are propagating ⁉️ we need desperately MORE Curtis Common Content
I admire your dedication to being organized: mentally emotionally and practically
I like your “all the above energy sources “ again, you make to much sense ‼️
Newer model machines need AT LEAST a minute of turning key (glow plug) on and off and immediately back on. Older machines have a glow plug button that can be held for a minute or two when it’s wicked cold like this
really enjoyed this one curtis. Maybe it was the snow but I think it was the content!
Our winter here in Tennessee started out mild as well.
Last night our coldest temps in 40 years we got 8 inches of snow alot for Southern Tennessee. Looking forward to the live
Use your leaf blower on the light fluffy snow. All the best to you Curtis you have a great channel many excellent ideas
You mentioned in another video that you were planning on adding a 4th solar array, what if when you did made two independent systems to power your house. That would mean dividing your battery bank into two . So you would have two solar arrays, two solar charge controllers, one inverter, and half the total battery rack as one independent system and you would have the same components on a second system so that if one inverter goes down or another component you still have the other independent system to power your home until the other system is repaired?
In the US Larch and Douglas Fir are sold as one in the same as their properties are nearly identical.
Why did his inverters go down?
Hey what is the thing you are using to scrape off your panels? I need one for mine. Tennessee got 8 inches which is crazy for this area.
