Can We Run My Wood Boiler FULLY Off-Grid?

Taking a look at the ways I've made progress taking my property off-grid and testing the BLUETTI AC500 + B300S as a backup generator!

Having the off grid option is definitely a good thing. Peace of mind if anything!

Well done Steve. I like how you tied the steak in at the end. Very clever.

Delicious too!

Hi Steve, I have an EG4 18kpv hybrid inverter, 31kwh of EG4 LL batteries and 13kw of solar PV panels. The 18kpv can take power input from the pv panels, batteries, my generac generator and grid (when it's up) and seemlessly blend all of them together to supply the house load first and then keep the batteries charged secondarily. I was originally using a two critical load transfer switches to power the majority of the house. But last Friday I had an electrician wire in a (huge) 2 way transfer switch so I am now powering the whole main panel. Unfortunately, I am depleting my batteries over night so I will be looking into another 31kwh rack of batteries (and they're expensive). FYI I have a 2,000 square foot house and an outbuilding with a shop downstairs and home theater upstairs.

Awesome! I think we are headed that direction. I just installed a wind turbine yesterday on my little workshop and thought it didn't work, then I came home and the thing was spinning like a top!

we just got a heatmaster c150 last fall and i've been considering a solar setup to power it . we have a inverter and generator for other electrical needs but i would like to feel confident it will run as long as i can feed it wood . thanks for sharing this experience . jeff

[@buildlife]

Sounds great! Probably wouldn't take much battery either.

[@JeffB1961]

@@buildlife we got our from Eldon Yoder and he installed it . asked him if he could wire the boiler and blower motor for the duct/thermostat to one plug under the house so it will be easy to power everything from one plug by solar or generator/inverter . and he did . hop to get solar set up in the next 2 years ......

That's a pellet oven not a grill . Open the lid and see if you can grill anything

[@buildlife]

I hear what your saying, they call it a pellet grill on their website. Recteq is the brand. Grill or oven it cooks really good steaks!

@@buildlife I gotta pull your chain every now and then just to see if ya'll are awake. Have a blessed day my friend

Ha! Thanks Tony you to!
