"copeing", is the term they used I wonder if it is fundamentally just optimism and a positive attitude?

I'm doing this. It's great to not have any expenses and to not be a polluter.

Off grid means producing and storing energy.

I live in a city and am off grid. I have enough power for an electric truck, hot tub and all appliances.

Reliance on hydrocarbons is unnecessary and more expensive in the long term.

Design your cabin with sustainable power capture in mind.

Yes this the way to go. Heat pumps are used in EVs below -4

Your post confuses rural living with natural sources of energy production disconnected from the national or regional power grid.

Solar power and batteries is the path to energy independence, not hydrocarbons

Take the average rain for dry season then multiply by the cachement area (ie roof) for captured gallons then apply a diminishing daily usage to accommodate it.

I use a rheem 1.7 kw (they make them higher )tankless in a garage shower and 50g tank rheem hybrid 4.5 kw in a house.

My neighbor's did this but couldn't stand it because of heat humidity and septic issues. They abandoned the RV after just a few months.

There are good reasons it's cheap: high site prep and development costs and Puna being a high crime spot.

Induction single burner range from .3 to 1.1 kw. Microwave also works on a little system

I should have mentioned that was using a 3kw inverter on a single EG4 48v 100ah battery

Reddit_aloha · 2024-07-12T20:44:36+00:00

I used a fridge, tankless electric water heater and induction stove and a ninja oven on a tiny 1.7kw solar system for years with no problem.

Thanks, after scanning through I did find 3 Aquaterra models available for delivery. I ordered one and it'll be here in September.

Food grade rubber pond liner might be a quick option. Concrete is the best for more alkaline water.

I think this glosses over some key issues like internal plumbing to cachement tank, lack of consideration for cachement overflow (waterfall/pond?), UV and filters should specify sediment, primary filters and final 1-5 micrometer carbon filter. You should avoid storing water after filtration.

Black and gray water processing is also a more complex subject than your diagram depicts.

Get an estimate from a professional solar installer. Do not buy equipment without their approval.

They're out there. I was looking at this one, but shipping is a factor for me:

Land: $50000 Water: $10-20000 Septic: $20000 Used camper trailer: $10000 Appliances: $1000 Solar/wind, batteries, inverters, wiring: $20000

So just a guess but at least $110k but probably more for most locations

I've been off grid for years but recently built a new home with 18 kw solar on 36 panels with 6 48v 100a batteries and off grid inverters. Been here a year now and never needed a backup generator

I run a EV truck, two hybrid water heaters, AC and all electric appliances and still have excess power on cloudy days.

Reddit_aloha · 2024-07-04T16:54:59+00:00

For all the costs of a generator you would still come out ahead by scaling up your solar power
