Hi from sunny Spain

Pleased to make your acquaintance, been living without monthly bills for 12 years in the countryside, a bit dependent on gas bottles for winter hot water and fridge, but all our electricity supplied by 360w of 48v panels. Pump water for 1 hour once a month with a petrol generator.
Heavy dependence on cars, but that is the way when bringing up kids!

PS always looking at improvements to our system, but in recent years this has come via a bottom-up approach, changing appliances to rechargeable ones, and training the family in user hours and awareness of their energy use! Works wonders.

Not pretty but extremely reliable
