Use a solar power station everywhere you can.
You don’t have to be an electrician to use solar power.
We use solar power at our house. It was easy and inexpensive to do.
My solar system cost us about $8,000 to build.
It produces about 2000 Watts in good sunlight.
The solar power is connected to a solar controller which charges
the 8 LiFePO4 batteries. I decided to make my system into a 24-volt system.
There are eight batteries in my battery bank. That battery bank gives us
about 9,600 watts of power. From the batteries power goes to a 4,000 watt
sine wave inverter which powers things in our home. This system is kind
of complicated because I had to build each part of the system from scratch.
That was a lot of work. Now the system is working and
solar power is being used every day.
When the hurricanes came through our area of Florida last year we
never lost power. The refrigerator, freezer, TV, internet, phone chargers
and lights were always working. We have never run out of power because
the batteries were depleted.
Now, after saying all that, there is a much easier way to get to the same place.
We spend a lot of time camping and use power stations while camping.
All you need is a power station and some solar panels. You don’t build
anything, just plug it in and you’re done.
On YouTube there are lots of great solar power videos.
I watch Will Prowse. Hobotech is also very good.
They are very Informative and can help people figure it all out.
You need to know that it’s easier than you imagine.
Purchase a 1,000-watt power station.
Purchase a power a few solar panels and you’re done.
