About

I've wanted an alternative power source ever since my basement flooded when the power to my sump pump turned off due to a power outage. It is very exciting and a great learning experience to be able to build my own power plant in my basement. I believe everyone can do this and I would like to show people what I know. Mostly through trial and error! I will explain everything I do with the upgrades to my 24v off grid system and will show you step by step and how I accomplished it.

I really wanted to see if I could possibly run an 8000 BTU air conditioner with a 12v battery. I looked up the info on the AC unit and found out it is possible! I grabbed a LifePo4 100ah Battery, a few inverters and went upstairs! I was surprised it ran as long as it did!
