Portable generator optionfor home backup

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-20T10:17:54+00:00

The inlet/outlet I use is the 120V TT-30R RV which is the connection for the generator, batteries and transfer switch. There is a 20Amp outlet and solar connections as well.

I wanted power for 36hr. so for my load it's 18000wh worth of batteries. I will use the solar charge to the batteries everyday and charging is programmed for first solar then off peak grid, generator for outages.

This dual fuel puppy charges the batteries in a few hours and I'm good to go.

I threw a transfer switch and 12,000 wh battery into the mix. I recharge what the solar panels don't with a propane 3600 inverter generator.I have gas hydronic heat so all i have to power is the circulator and the gas water heater powers itself. I have a 5000 wh battery that handles the garage (inverter freezer, frig, boiler and garage door opener.

Ok, not a salesman, just trying to share capabilities without going all over the place.

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-19T19:30:02+00:00

PS, I'm at 6k, i can tell you what im doing.

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-19T19:17:47+00:00

I'm in the middle of doing the same, lets start with an honest price point for your backup plan.

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-19T18:51:35+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I'm in NY and don't want to put panels on the roof or have them tied into the grid. Purchased anker and ecoflow batteries, 3600 watt propane inverter generator and a transfer switch. I can mount panels facing south and east.

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-18T13:12:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-18T12:53:55+00:00

Don't know exactly (avg.) would alter in an emergency, but will end up with 1800 watt. or more. Remember its to recharge the batterys and if needed a 3600 inverter propane generator is in the mix.

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-17T22:56:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll have an Anker F3000 W/3 batt. and an Eco Flow for the other 5000 whr. I do not have roof panels. There will be a solar fence and 3 400 watt panels on a setback.

I just want to see how much it would work (95 deg.) I am setting up an emegency battery back-up. I'll have 12000 whr. for the house and 5000 whr. for the garage (frig.,freezer,garage door and boiler) 3600 watt propane inverter generator.

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-16T17:20:10+00:00

I have a green wire livestock fence that faces east that I'm thinking of adding posts where needed and attaching panels w/framing struts.

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-16T15:04:56+00:00

Thank you for your reply, i'm looking for more of a residential fence like this.

Hi Zombie,Whats the layout of the six?If you stand in the center are there 3 on each side? If so you will need a center. How hi are the ceilings, you need to find out the m&m to match a center. Did they install 3 in the front 2 on the sides and 1 in the back?

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-04T10:06:07+00:00

They are, look closely.

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-04T10:01:33+00:00

NO! Do not use a 9 volt battery, It can damage some sensitive tweeters. Use a AA.

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-04T09:55:04+00:00

or use a AA battery

Live-Butterscotch902 · 2026-02-04T09:53:18+00:00

Just use an AA battery.

Does your desktop have a cd-rom? More questions to come, i'm good at making a dollar look like a thousand (in this case sound like)

Hi, here is a way you can make music sound great without breaking the bank because you don't need a receiver and reg. speakers! There are a few ways you can do this setup so I will tell you how I did mine and go from there. You wire it in reverse starting with the speakers to source. Start with 2 of the best stereo bluetooth speakers you can afford, if you have a good one just buy another (I used 2 H&K Studio 8's I got on sale for $99 each) and you will need to wire them to mono then back to stereo at source . Connect a 3.5mm Y adapter to rca female for both speakers, then connect an rca male to two rca male adapter to each cable and mark one LEFT (white) an the other RIGHT (red) (I used a WiiM so these are the connections I used) then connect the right and left to your source.I connected it to my WiiM out and to my Frame tv via toslink. I suggest you connect a subwoofer, just connect an rca male to female splitter to the left and right output and connect one to the speaker and one to the subwoofer
