RE: Finishing Greenhouse Framing & How We Use Solar Power

in #homesteading7 years ago

This blog has a video where Reid shows "how we use solar power".
But if my memory serves me, he Never Really did show how he uses any power.
Ironically, today's "daily" video from Reid shows how he is making a rack to mount the solar panels onto.
Why is it months later, Reid says he needs to get the panels off the ground "URGENTLY" and make power?

Why was this not a priority when he moved there in March-April?

Why does he keep saying the houses are "95% Off Grid" when he is in the middle of building a "battery box" to house the batteries against the front of the house, and is just Now mounting solar panels?

I remember Reid saying the solar panels were laying on the ground (doing nothing by the way) because he was concerned they would "tip over in the wind",
But now he mounted the panels high on the "flimsy" structure like a sail on a sailboat!

And just the other day when it snowed, Reid bragged that solar panels produce more electricity with snow on the ground.
Why would he mount the top panels so high?

And what about the trolls he claims "trespass daily" there?
Won't the solar panels block his view of the homestead while he sits on the couch all day?

So many conflicting issues that just don't add up there.

Sort:  

he has painted himself into a corner. He jumped the gun with his claim of being 95% off grid when his videos show just the opposite. Now he must put up a little something solar to keep his idiot subs from rioting and dumping him. He would need 4 times the number of panels and batteries to take the houses off the grid and he can't afford it. He is spending money on crap and it will be the downfall of his channel. Looking forward to that.
