Interesting

Came over from Our Alaska TH-cam channel. Nice to find another Alaska channel I like.

Here from Our Alaska. They recommended your channel to all their viewers.

Australia is bloody hot, so we need air conditioning. I have installed a full SolarEdge Home system 8.4kw with SolarEdge battery 9.7kwh, and that battery is down to 10% by midnight on hot nights. The battery is usually full again by 10am during summer months.

Our Alaska gave your guys a shoutout. Good luck with the new channel.

Really interesting, thanks for the video

Very informative

Or, you could get a $9 12v fuse block.

Thanks, always enjoy your videos

Here in the UK 5000 watt if solar does squat in the winter

I started building my 12/24 volt solar system last spring. I turned it on 7/5/24. It's still a work in progress. I have 4 100ah Lifepo4 Batteries and 1800 watts of panels. I'm in the process of wiring and placing outlets Now.

What kind of dc fridge do you have? Can you provide a link or something?

I wired my cabin just like an RV which is what you are talking about, all the lights are dc and the receptacles when needed are ac thru the inverter. I have used this same system at my cabin for over 30 years and is the most power efficient way to go as i see it. I have had to use my inverter more with a cellular booster I purchased but when i can find a good 12 volt one that will help. I also used regular household type electrical panels to start my wiring even for the 12 volt dc since the Square D breakers work AC/DC so it gives you a more professional job and better protection I think.

Greetings from the Tanana! Similar systems here. A bit bigger at our main home. Our root cellar under the cabin is our refrigerator- four ac chest freezers (a bit excessive, i know) are our biggest demand. Running all four really only two months in the fall ( all unplugged mid oct-mid April) With the low price of pv, and the high price tag of those dc freezers, we went big on solar. We also have a near perfect location for solar here... south facing bluff.

my heart goes out to you man. I've built a couple solar power systems. my first one now powers my small workshop and it's a 12 kw battery from a Nissan leaf. my newer system is 26 kw of lifepo4 cells. I'm in my semi truck 27 days then home 3.or 4 so my system charges while I'm gone and I use the months harvested energy while I'm home. I cool and heat with a very efficient mini split and that where 90 percent of my electricity is spent. I can tell you from several years of experience that the math don't really work to figure your needs with equipment. it's more of a trial and error and a person will normally need a lot more than they think. I've spent about 55 grand on components and wire and hardware so far and once I install a couple more pallets of panels I should be good for... hopefully forever lol. I have 9 charge controllers but only 3 hooked up at the moment as I don't yet have the panels I need for the next 6 controllers but it's a steady save and buy and save and buy kinda thing. at first I heated with propane but now Ive decided the electric is so convenient I've gotten my heart set on a system that can power our life no matter the cost. I'll tell ya tho, I heat my shop with a diesel heater and it's been a game changer

if solar is small or bigger design i will look basicly to waste thré money for actual panel tech, in bad weather /winter i get no output from my old mono panels , my newer N-type panel in similar size generate power in low/bad light conditions in that the 6 year old mono panels can not do anythink. that makes for me a hughe diff in how much i get in useable power from my small solar.

Great info and real life examples. Have backups and backups to those is probably the #1 lesson for alaska.

I think you accidentally uploaded Part 1 again as Part 2 because I've seen this entire video a few days ago.

It's what's left of a 1941 International KB5 Truck, worth saving if the parts aren't shot could be a nice restoration in the offing, I'm all for saving old vehicles especially wartime era.

they all used wood,try a google

Never ever buy land without seeing it first we just bought a Homestead in central Maine...

LOL. Back when I moved up her from IN at 18 years old, there was no internet to complain on. What a shartshow.

why would you buy land locked property.

I find this is a common scam around the country,sell a parcel no access, then offer to buy it back for less

with having hunted oilwell for 40 years i get a giggle every time i see a plot back in there for sale.

I always tell people to plan on renting in the local town the first year. During that year, travel around Alaska because there's areas where it could be extreme cold and just a few miles down the highway it can be a lot warmer, or high winds, or really raining, or or or. I've even seen fully treed on a hillside and it was a complete swamp. You provide a lot of good points. Thanks

Wow

Tony Gross would be so proud you’re snowshoeing!

way cool!

Wonderful video
