They tell me I should get 60 hours of full electric if the shit hits the fan. That’s without any sun during the 60 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Do you know what you average for kWh usage per day on the grid? You'll have a conversion loss from DC to AC using the power wall too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Better to be off the grid and not reliant on anyone else for your power any way. Despite what anyone's stance is on green tech. I'm building my own windmill to see how much power I can get out of that. Hopefully about 3 kW.

Is this linked to solar cells? $50k, but apparently I get around $13k back from the government. They’re linked to 6 solar batteries in the garage. After Hurricane Irma, my area had no electric for about 5 days. Too hot here for that nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
