Our entire solar power system is completely FINISHED! We have built a 13,000 watt solar power plant! Today we are firing the system up and turning everything on in our modern home to see how it handles the load on a completely cloudy day. We are also flashing back to a quick timelapse of how we got here. From moving to raw land with no running water or electric to now, having a solar system capable of running our entire home!

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"

I honestly don't think you're ever going to need to run that beautiful new generator. What a system!

@Fireholder1 3 года назад

Perhaps. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Plenty of things could happen to damage that solar array, like a windstorm blowing debris into it, or livestock getting rambunctious. Backup generator is nothing but a smart move.

One good thing that has come from all this suffering is my son is getting all sorts of lumber for his small mill.
