It's 6am. I woke up because my CPAP stopped. It's going to be a long day.

It's a bit cold outside, so I'll have to fire up my little generator if it goes too long. That's a pain in the ass.

Wow that is a MASSIVE setup!

I barely have a 3000W BLUETTI that powers everything, and I have a new 6000XP I haven’t hooked up yet with 2 rack batteries from eco-worthy. That ate up my budget lol Oh and I have half a pallet of new old stock panels I got for super cheap $45 each 250W panels.

    Nice. Sometimes you just have to start somewhere to get your feet wet but if it powers everything that’s great!

    I designed this to provide power for 100% of my entire property in worst case conditions with 15% overhead for additional loads. Then I added another 20% to cover system degradation.

    I want it to still be 100% off grid when the entire thing has degraded by 20% lol. That was my basis.

    In 4.5 months I’ve produced 17MW. Which is outstanding.

    My biggest issue is having a large house with two central AC units. The power draw on hot nights is immense. So the only thing I undersized was the battery system. Plan to add one more 14.3 kWh battery to get that extra 20%.
