We use it to power motors and tools in the shop. We sometimes power furnaces with it, and then power motors to distribute that heat through our homes. We use electricity to cook, whether it’s on an electric range, or a casserole in a gas oven with digital electrical controls.

The amount of power we consume is extensive. I have lived with my water and sewer needs off-grid with a high producing well and well designed septic system. But it is much more challenging to meet our electrical power needs off-grid. In this space I will explore this extensively for ideas and solutions to the challenges we face electrically when we want to start Getting Off Grid.
