RE: Our Homestead Is 95 Percent Off The Grid Already
Placing 2 panels in your yard and LYING about having solar power is pretty pathetic attempt at deception eh Troy? You would need 3000W of panels to run your HOUSE which is 5 times what you have LIAR.
See, typical trollish attempts. You mean 3 solar panels, not 2.
And maybe YOU would need 3,000 watts of solar panels to power YOUR house but not us.
It is a lifestyle change.
We use between 2 to 5 Kw per day. Back in Pine Bush I was pulling in about 3400 to 3600 watts a day with weak sunlight.
Here we got a LOT more sunlight on our solar panels.
And we only need 3 to 5 Kw a day.
Thank you for your kind words.
Have a nice day :)
3000W rated solar panels yields 1800 watts in full sun into charge controller. This would meet the surge current requirement of the fridge. you don't have the power to start the motor with less than 3000w rated panels. Your math and solar skills SUCK and your batteries always dead and dying. You have freezer too so need twice the fridge. Laying panels in yard and LYING is much easier.
Whatever! It works. By now
"Whatever" means you got nothing and are LYING. 600W rated CANNOT run fridge and freezer, you LYING RAT BASTARD
Whatever means its like dealing with a child having a temper tantrum.
You can power a fridge on 300 watts of solar panels.
And there are MANY videos out there to prove it.
So run away now little child and go play with someone your own age.
Startup surge requirement is at least 1500 watts that CANNOT be met by 300W of panels. You are woefully short by 5 times LESS. You are LYING and HOUSE is ON-GRID. You have no batteries, charge controller or large inverter equipment for house. You LIE and show nothing!!!
Yeah yeah yeah. Run along now little child and go play with the other children.
This is getting boring.
You need 12-15 panels to power fridge and freezer. With three you are LYING and ON-GRID. You LIE for 'OffGridProject' name on youtbe. You are FAKE and LYING.
@thediyworld Wow, you really don’t appear to know anything about generating solar power. A 600 watt system if set up properly at your latitude would generate on average about 2 KWh per day througout the year, with more in summer and less in winter. You’d be lucky to generate even 1 KWh per day in Dec - Feb. How are you going to consume 3 - 5 KWh when you’re only getting 1 KWh? You’re going to be using mostly on grid electricity or your generator. Do you not understand these basic facts? I’m not sure you even know the diffence between KW and KWh. SMH. The sunlight isn’t weaker in New York compared to Michigan either. As you go further north, the sun’s intensity decreases, because it is lower in the sky. If you’re talking about the problems you had with your panels being in the shade more in NY, well that was your fault for placing them in the wrong location.
Oh, there you go again changing numbers to make it look worse.
I wrote 2 to 5 kw per day and I did say we are paying 18 cents per day on energy.
So there it all is.
Right out in the open.
Clear as day.
Thank you for sharing your opinions
Have a nice day now :)
Excuse me? You wrote “And we only need 3 to 5 Kw a day.” Instead of deflecting with a ridiculous lie, why don’t you address the salient points? I’m trying to help you see reason, but you’re more interested in keeping up your charade.
Right here, copied and pasted from my comment above "We use between 2 to 5 Kw per day. "
But anyway, that would not make a difference.
Why dont you EVER accept the facts as presented to you rather than asking the same thing again and again?
Here we go again.
We use about 2 to 5 kw per day. We have 600 watts of solar panels which provide most of our off grid solar power needs.
We do use about 18 cents of energy per day from the power grid though because our water pump is rated at 240 volts and we cannot yet get that to run on solar power.
We use laptops and tablets for our work, charged by solar during the day. We charge up our small devices and portable LED lights in the off grid electronics lab or using folding solar panels.
Hmm, didnt I just do a video on that here?
There you go
Have a nice day :)
You would have to be the most dishonest and stupidest person I have EVER tried to have a conversation with. I used to argue with this conspiracy theorist guy a while back, he was batshit crazy, but at least he had some charm and could be funny, whereas you have no positive attributes whatsoever.
Ok. But we still only use 18 cents per day on the grid. So what is your point?
There is nothing hidden here. I accidentally hit the 3 instead of 2. But it does not matter at all.
There are more than 4 hours of daylight in summer so we were pulling a lot of power.
AND - I plan to expand the system very soon.
But you are getting ahead of the videos now.
You will just have to wait.
Have a good day :)
