RE: Solar on the Homestead & Reducing Your Energy Consumption
I wish solar was a better option here in Alaska but the days are too short in the winter. What is your total cost in your system and where do you store it?
We have an unheated building that everything is stored in. Batteries & this gear can withstand fairly cold temps. I've seen some news reports sharing some solar installations in Northern Canada (Northwest Territories and Nunavut both). It would be interesting to get updates from them on how it's been.
I grew up in Yellowknife so I understand your concerns. This CBC article is a bit older but you might be able to dig for more recent updates. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/n-w-t-solar-energy-surges-in-popularity-1.3128538
Thank you for the information. I will defiantly be looking into it more.
