    Off-Grid Cabin - 120v AC and/or 12v DC buildout?

    Thanks. Yes, the choices made by the previous owner are a mystery. I think we’ll just put all new wall sockets in that offer the cig lighter/usb combo. Appreciate the link.

    Off-Grid Cabin - 120v AC and/or 12v DC buildout?

    Here are two photos I took at the camp this past weekend. Perhaps the original owners plan was to run ac outlets and then install an inverter at some point? I have these homemade ac plugs to cig lighter cords - are they safe?

    Hi there - I’ve been searching for more information on 12V solar systems as we recently purchased a small cabin that is entirely wired with 12V DC. Fridge, stove, hot water all run on propane. There is one small inverter box that has the “cigarette lighter” end and then two outlets. We’ve been...
