  • Ecoflow River Pro 2 vs 20 year old pellet stove fireplace insert

    THIS WAS JUST AN EXPERIMENT AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN EMERGENCY. (and if you saw this in the Cold Temperature Systems subforum, yes this is the same thread - sorry) Just a quick real world experiment. I purchased an Ecoflow River 2 Pro last summer for some...
  • Low-budget Project Thread: 23' sailboat with 24v trolling motor and 12v systems / 24v Shed with solar charging.

    I've mainly been a lurker, but thought I would share my project - powering my sailboat on the weekends and my shed during the week. I'll put the back story at the bottom. I'll update this first post as I learn more. Current setup as of Sept 1, '23: (I'll keep this at the top and update as I...

  • If or when there is a benefit in having Micro Inverters in an off grid system?

    I understand the purpose in dealing with the shading problem and single panel failure, but the only time I see Micro Inverters (or MIs) talked about is on grid-tie systems. Is there a use case for MIs in an Off Grid system with batteries?
  • Overthinking it: When is it "safe" to use under rated connectors?

    Well this past winter I started a sailboat project, both in terms of cleaning up an old boat and powering it by battery. To be clear I am in no way anti-ICE, I'm just not a fan of outboards and my girlfriend (sometimes referred to as my wife) had ZERO experience with boats before I bought this...
