This remote cabin made it on two 180 watt solar
panels and one small air X wind generator .
The Battery bank was only four 6 volt golf cart
battery's. Later on the battery bank was upgraded
to 10, 6 volt battery's.
Four battery's worked good if you were very
careful. But Now with the larger bank of 10 - 6
volt battery's you can run a chest freezer,
fridge,washing machine and lights and water well
with no electric bill. .
Things not to use in a off grid solar home.
Electric heat
cloths dryer
electric oven
electric stove
The best heat for the buck is wood.
Propane for stove.
Dry cloths on cloths line.
Use low watt fridge and freezer.
The main thing for a on off grid solar power cabin
is plan, plan , plan.
Lots of spray foam insulation, and no large power
hog appliances like electric air conditioning or
electric heat or stove.. Gas stove or wood stove is
best.

If you decide to buy new solar panels
beware of china junk!
We have tested name brand solar panels and we
have tested cheap china clone junk. These look
just as good as name brand panels, but china panels
are total junk. The china panels do not make as
many watts as early in the morning as name brands
like BP or Sharp. Also china junk panels in the late
evenings they do not make as much power. So
even though you save on panel price, it takes more
panels to do the same job. Another problem is
most china clone solar panels are sold by small time
sellers, most sales are final.

Many missionary and relief groups run generators
for power in remote areas. The Problem with
generators is, even fuel saving models can cost
1000s in fuel cost.
Just a small 10kw- 24 hp gas generator can burn
10 gallons per 12 hours of use. This equals 20
gallons per 24 hours. At 3.00 per gallon, it cost
60.00 per day to have power. After 30 days you
spent 1800.00 of fuel, and thats with no break
downs. We offer Drillcat Power 1000 Portable
Solar and wind kits trailer mounted that can
power most of your needs. Never run out of
gas and renew each time the sun comes up or the
wind blows.
Kit includes Solar panels, inverter, charge
controller and wind generator. Unlike traditional
generators, these solar generators last for decades.
Their design is simple: take electricity from the
sun, run it through a charge controller and into a
large battery bank. Have an inverter pull that
power out of the batteries (when needed) and
make it available as pure sine wave current. We
can custom design a system for your needs.
