Ok so I can buy a meter but can only run fridge for 8 hrs on generator at this time. Can I estimate off of that short time?

Trying to size the amount of storage.

Eg4 or similar with rack

Sorry it's been a while homestead calls. I should give a little background. I'm just starting to build my off grid system. Currently I have a 3000w 24v inverter. I have not purchase the rest of the parts for solar yet. my wife has been patiently waiting for the house plugs to work. I was going...

Strictly inverter

I'm stuck on wire size from inverter to my Yurts main breaker. I have a 3000 watt 24v pure sine wave inverter. My main breaker is set up at 100amp. Only one real appliance will be running 24/7 which is a new Samsung inverter fridge. other than that it will be limited computer and tv and LED...

Maybe a silly question. We have been on generator power for about six months and are slowly building our solar and wind system. I recently purchased a 24v 3000w pure sine wave inverter and will be purchasing building a 24v bank using lithium batteries. Can I charge the battery bank with a 12v...

Thank you. I'm totally off the electrical grid. My local utility company wanted to charge me about $50,000. to make a 200-300 foot run from my neighbors box. I'm trying to get a them to waive underground and allow us to drop a couple of poles in for a straight shot up the hill from the mainline...

We currently have a 30' Yurt. I have a full size Samsung inverter fridge, led lights, TV, and misc. Kitchen gadgets. I'm looking at a 5.12kwh kit but I really don't know what I should get. I do know I need something I can expand on. I would like to also run wind considering I live in PNW

OK now that I have the right wire size figured out I have another question that has come up from a conversation I had with a friend. My 3000w 24v inverter is not 220v. how do I wire 110 into a 2 lug square D breaker box. I do NOT want 220. If I wire to a single pole I was told that if I have a...

I just ordered a meter but I'm limited to running the fridge on gen for 8ish hours. I'm hoping this will give me an idea.

We try to keep the yurt above 70 using wood stove during winter
