I just recently started using a solar charger to charge a 10k mah battery pack that I use to charge my phone every night. One device “off the grid.”

Short of installing solar on my home I’d really love to be able to charge a large battery that would output 120V so I could use household appliances “off the grid.”

Does anybody have some other energy hacks, or ways to reduce your energy consumption at home that’s not just “use less energy?”

    Dang, still pretty pricey. That’s awesome you built your own system tho. Hopefully I can do the same one day.

      The year was 2022 sorry, the system was probably about $1500ish still up there but compared to to my current one on my place is about 30k, keep an eye on market place people get rid of old systems all the time

        Haha yeah I got that. Still not trying spent over $500 at most. And even that is stretching it. Just dipping my toes in for now.
