  • Post in thread: Roast my first build for off grid cabin

    Small victory today! Finished wiring everything except grounding and panels, and all the lights and power sockets are working as they are supposed to! I'm quite relieved as I did all the wiring for the cabing myself and burried all the wires deep inside walls. Tried to run 900w angle grinder...

    Yeah not the first time I hear bad things about those breakers. Fuses + isolation switches seems the way to go. Anyone could link some fuse options on amazon/aliexpress/ebay? Price/performance is essential. As I mentioned, my whole system came around 1300$, so I'm not gonna put in 50-100$ fuses...

    Okay looks like it's battery voltage and there is no way to program load using solar array as variable. I can program specific times, but I already have timer switch doing it. Gonna test it out tomorrow, but hopes are not high.

    Fire would suck. I've insulated my box with rock wool and foil in hopes it'll contain the fire if there is any.. It's off grid sauna cabin that will be used just on weekends mostly. Should I consider shutting down the whole system if I know that nobody's gonna be around for several days?

    Gotcha. I'm in Northern-ish Europe, so winter usually is -5 to -10 Celsius, but sometimes goes down to -20.
  • Post in thread: My first off-grid system for review

    Found a local supplier for solar panel, cheaper for more wattage, and just 1 panel instead of 2. Also increased battery from 160 to 200Ah. You've been a HUGE help HRTKD, would buy you a beer if we ever meet! ;) This is the latest version. Gonna start ordering parts, everything should be up and...
