My good friend asked me how I power my cabin in the Manistee National Forest of Michigan. I decided to demonstrate what I have been doing that seems to work. Admittedly, I have a mixture of systems and brands as I purchased everything using the best deals I could find. But it works for what I need. I am not using this as my permanent residence. I am not running a refrigerator or TV and basically use the power for lights and charging some tools. It has been fun to try to make it all work and I am still learning. Feel free to offer suggestions to everyone who might be interested. I post these videos so I can learn more as well.
Many of the items I use are not available from Amazon anymore under their original names/brands. Just look up something similar. Portable Power Station, Solar Indoor Lighting, etc.
Good luck friends.
