How many years do your batteries last before you need to replace them. Or are they reconditioned after some years?

Perhaps next you could build an RBMK-1000 power plant. They're awesome.

You ought to put in some heating wire around your solar panels and hook them up to a bicycle generator. Then you wouldn't have to go up on the roof to clear off the panels, you could just pedal the snow and ice off. Good idea n'est pas?

[mrsfrenchie88]

This arrangement is still far too dependent upon technology to appeal to me. You still have to replace batteries, and if your "inverter" goes then you cannot use your 110v equipment. I'm glad that Mr. Law is happy with his arrangement, and that it works for him. It's good to see any steps to become more self-reliant and less dependent on the power grid.

12 volt is the only way to go.

This is great, but it takes some cash to put together even this relatively simple system. And of course, the know how. The rub for me is mainly the cash, I can learn to do anything.

Great house, What he needs is a system that will generate electric from the rayburn heat in winter, i'm building just such a system, still in early stages yet but coming along. It is intended to run with a biomass boiler to generate electric. Check my channel out for updates. I'd love to hear from anyone who would be interested in my system. Build the whole thing for 5 grand!

This is really inspiring and so much better for the environment. Ben, keep it up!

[paracordjunky]

What's the price range on all the equipment any idea ?

[fergfergferg123]

@khaniu at least 60k

[undercurrentspaulo]

@fergfergferg123 no, £20k would do it
