What should my alternative energy system cost? 

I will be in touch in several months about two systems in Ironton Missouri and in Piedmont Missouri by God's Hill I love your channel onward and upward

If you consume 2000kWh per month through the winter months, you are at 38deg lat or south in the US, want to be completely off the grid, with at least five days worth of lithium iron phosphate battery back up, you need to have about $50,000 saved up...Doing it all yourself. Lots of variables, but this will get you close.

Let’s develop a Stirling Engine Drive for our Mills!?

This is just comercial. Looks like the moderator is paid by that company.

Solar systems is been out for over 40 years, why in the world technology still expensive ? please stop price gouching the consumer. Most of the estimates are 10-15% of the house value. It is insane. You want to save and they tell you that most of the savings you get is after the system is paid. By that time is time to replace the panels because the glass gets worn out and burn.

$2 per watt? That’s about what mine cost but I could have done better knowing what I now know. My system is highly automated though to cut power to luxury items to save for necessities. Running my all electric house on a 6kw split phase 230v LF inverter.

I have followed MWS for many years and I have seen how helpful they have bin to the off grid community most people in this country live off grid by choice I would like to see a humanitarian operation led by MWS in conjunction with other off grid providers to supply systems for for those people who are off grid in Ukraine because of power loss from attacks on there infrastructure perhaps a small system that can keep phones and laptops charged and provide some light at night could be inexpensively developed for this purpose in a lightweight easy to ship package maby a stop the bear fundraising campaign could raise enough to offset the cost of such an endeavor

Easy, the most you can afford... Power like garages follows the same principle. Bigger is better.....
