Today's question is...if you could solar-power only one appliance in your home, which would it be? My answer is a water pump! I have been without this when living off-grid, in my tiny house on wheels, and I tell you what it's not fun carrying water for everything. 😉🙃

Hope you all had an amazing weekend. So today's question. How does living off-grid spark your joy? Is there a favorite lifestyle or weekend habit that you enjoy doing because of being off-grid? Or perhaps it's something you look forward to once you get off-grid? Share away....😉

Good evening to you all. We have just relieased the following module in the "Downloads & Resources" section called "Australian Equipment Compliance". This is obviously specific to the Australian market but this is how you make sure that the solar equipment you are planning to use is compliant and able to be signed off. If you require an electrical certificate then the equipment you use must be "fit for purpose" and "approved for use" in the situation you intend to use. For example, you can not use a hybrid inverter in an off grid situation. It is also a requiement that the solar panels you plan to use are on the approved equipment list otherwise you will also be installing a 'non-compliant' system. This new module gives you an overview of this information plus direct links to the approved equipment list for solar panels, inverters and BESS (Battery Energy Storage System). BESS are pre-assembled lithium battery systems such as the BYD HVM battery stacks. Individual lead acid, AGM and Gel batteries, plus individual lithium batteries are not restricted under this approval system so most off grid battery systems don't apply to this list, but most hybrid battery systems will. Let us know if there are specific questions that you have around this topic.

Hey guys, hope you all had an amazing weekend! So, today's question. What was the moment you first realized solar/off-grid life was for you? Can’t wait to read your answers 👇

Would anyone like to post your favorite off-grid or solar YouTube video, book, or resource? 😁🌞 I love seeing people living off-grid and doing what it takes to live the good life. We are coming to the end of this week. Hope you have a beautiful weekend!
