Goood mornin' ⛈️

Challenging off-grid life lately. After months of drought, we are now faced with an extended period of daily rains and cloudy skies. We love the rains, but seems like our house isn't yet fit for these amounts. Humidity creeps into our electrics and our generous photovoltaic system reaches its limits (2.7 kWh panels, 7680 Wh battery). So after romantic days of indoor camping with mini gas stove, battery packs and solar lights, we now got ourselves one of these ...

... a clean-looking petrol generator. Can't wait to test it out.

So, this is what it has become, uh?! From the ideal of living without fossil fuels, we now look forward to a petrol generator 😂 Energy diversity and freedom above all!

It'll only be for the next ~2 months with low sun and winter rains. For the rest of the year we are more than fine with photovoltaic.

We live Semi-offgrid. We actually have access to the main power grid and use that sometimes. A lott of the time it is the solar panels that do most of the work with larger ones powering batteries to store electric and smaller independent units scattered around the garden. We also have a petrol generator for back up. Don't chastise yourself about it , it's necessary to diversify your energy needs. Have an awesome day 🧡

That's great to hear you are also living that experience of connectedness with the energy sources and cycles 💪 To me it brings a much clearer, real vision about all the talk and action about sustainability. Thanks for saying that 🙏 No, I'm not chastising myself about it (anymore). Exactly, there's a variety of energy sources at our disposal and it's about the experience of nature connection, freedom and making the best possible informed choices 😉
