What's in a title?
I use way more electricity now than I did when I had the grid. The base loads would be a chest freezer, refrigerator a few fans; in the winter the coal stove uses ~7KWh/day, 90% of these being a large convection fan I added. I have plans to upgrade it to something more efficient get next season. 12k BTU minisplit would be the next biggest load followed by cooking.Yea I figure a small generator with a charge-verter run would be less costly. I've got an old 50cc two stroke mitey-mite that's loud as hell but more than enough to cover my loads if run for awhile....has a 24v dc output for my battery pack. Yes currently just 24v stuff. My daily average usage is only 3.5kwh and that's with the occasional 12-15kwh day if we have guests in the all electric (heater) guest room.
My AIO idles at 100W too..
When I find land to build on and sell this house I will have no grid connection.
