It is what it is. Our setup currently calls for a lot of fuel usage in winter. Dark days are almost over and that makes me happy. Surviving is our goal here in the wilderness. And we are going to survive, yet another Winter. Thank you for watching.
Yes indeed, most comments combine it all. First of all I’d like to suggest D3 and K2 intake, as your body needs if much more in the low sun hours. For Divine even more then Philip. Easy to explain why. Winters are demanding in Canada, but after travelling a lot across the world Canada is by far the best! Then I have experience with these modules and panels. I am installing panels since 1990. The panels that come with it are near useless, only handy for travels. We got extension cords and connected 2 550 watt each panels to the unit so it charges when sunny 24/7 if needed. Use it while you are charging. And plan power consumption in daytime, that helps a lot. Extension cords are about 18$ each so you can hookup your panels continuously. And adjust the angle of your panels with the seasons, plus keep your batteries around room temperature.
Thanks so much Henk, as always, for the great advice. We're getting more sun these days now that days are getting longer. Will update you on the new system soon.
My set-up eats 8 of those a day when I use the 2nd heater (-15c soon), I have used the same as 21 of those power stations over 3 days, took 7 hours to charge most of it. We have same conditions, using your 3kw adding 15 panels, $3057 adds 8.2 kw, total 11.2 kw 7.5kwh on dark days. Cold weather batteries Cdn govt uses these for remote stations. 19.2kw for $4500, I would recommend 2 for 38.4kw, can add more to 96kwk, and $2500 8kw 240v@4000w x 2, charge at 10000w with sun. I use 700 to 900w 24hrs a day, using your panels 8kw inverter,11.2kw solar, 36kw battery, 17 to $19k delivered maybe by Feb 5th, I can show you my easy frames to mount 15 panels vertical, no snow on panels, build the whole mount in a day. I just ended a call with Solar online all in stock, and battery bank deal 3995 for 19.2kwh -$500 CAD per bank. My gen fuel cost is $150 per overcast month. Is it worth it? plus you get best service. I got my 1st replacement inverter in 3 days; I might buy it back since the issue was fixed.
Hi Bob, Thank you so much for your detailed information and for sharing your insights on your off-grid setup. We are actually thinking of vertical panels, what company did you order yours from?
It is what it is.
Our setup currently calls for a lot of fuel usage in winter.
Dark days are almost over and that makes me happy.
Surviving is our goal here in the wilderness.
And we are going to survive, yet another Winter.
Thank you for watching.
Hang in there. Your country is going to change greatly soon. Just as ours in the US has. You guys have come so far, don't give up.
Thanks so much James, I appreciate the kind feedback. I really hope changes are coming our way too.🙏
I think you are on the right track. Having more storage capacity would be a big help
