I’m currently living off grid illegally in the mountains of Oregon on my own property 25 miles from the nearest town. Sometime in the future I plan to get all the proper permits but they are very expensive. Ive looked over the county‘s web site and cannot find any answers.
I don’t want to disclose exactly where I’m at but anyway. This will probably not help with my question.
I was thinking, I have a 33’ stripped 5th wheel frame that I was thinking about mounting a standard Say 6x6 insulated finished and heated shed on to house all the batteries and inverters. Then mount 20 to 24 395w ish panels to it also. Park it on top the hill from my House (about 60’ away where it will see sun all day with no shading due south). I would like to put a 50 amp RV receptacle on the shed and 50 amp RV cord on my house. it’s a 2019 skyline 32’ single wide. Of course I also think I will need to strap the trailer to the ground to keep it from flying away as it get pretty windy here at times. (4000 feet of elevation)
Since this would still be on wheels and technically mobile and nothing is hard wired. Would I really need things like electrical permits? Like it matters at this point. But like I stated before, I plan to get the right permits for the house At some point but would keep the solar trailer with no permits.
I don’t want to press my luck calling the county to ask this right now.
