RE: Our Solar Panels Are Back Online (after a 2-3 year reprieve)

Sounds like we had similar thinking about running a lot of things straight off of 12v DC power. We have 12v DC strip lighting throughout our tiny house and they are very efficient.

We also came to the same conclusions about inverters. They tend to draw a fair bit of power idling.

Sort:  

Right on! Those 12VDC LED light strips are worth every penny they charge for them. They open up so many options! We have plans to built two small off-grid "grain bin houses" on our property with the same idea, everything will be 12VDC. It was brought to my attention that I may have to put in an inverter in the bathrooms for the female guests though.

For hair dryers or something?

Something like that!
