POWERED BY THE SUN

Most people think that an off-grid house with solar power is a hovel in the woods where you have to go without the luxuries of modern living. Not true. We are delighted that with the ten solar panels we have installed on the hill in the woods almost 300 feet from our house, we can live quite comfortably. With carefully selected low-power use appliances, we usually have enough power for our needs.

The solar power comes into the utility room here. The box on the left houses the deep cell batteries, which store the sun's power.
