Finally Have Solar Power After 3 Years Off Grid | Eco-Worthy Solar Tracker

Can you believe it's been three years since we embarked on this off-grid journey? Well, guess what? We've hit a major milestone: solar power is officially up and running in our Geodesic Dome! Finishing the build of our Eco-Worthy Solar Tracker system marks a major step that we completed in making our off-grid lives that much easier. Since we left the city to move off-grid, life has been going at a pace of our choosing. Learning to appreciate every moment and accept things will come in their time. Those things have finally arrived as we can now harness the power of the sun to make our lives more comfortable.
So, kick back and join us for a laid-back glimpse into our off-grid life. From setting up our solar tracker system from Eco-Worthy to checking in on our buzzing bees and hunting for morel mushrooms in the woods, it's all here, raw and unfiltered. Because hey, life off the grid may not always be glamorous, but it's real, it's honest, and it's ours.

Best video ever!!!!! A little bit of everything, a nice variety. Keep up the great work…

[@OffGridGrowing]

Well now we really do appreciate that comment ❤️

[@cathybrewer8958]

Really nice solar set up. That can make the difference, glad your mom got the wagon, such a handy item to use. Congratulations on the solar power working.

[@OffGridGrowing]

Thank you Cathy 😁 was a good week for sure

[@northerngirlhobbies]

Hubby will thank the wagon in the long run. Great video folks. Learning solar here. Thank you. Mushrooms are a bonus any day.

[@OffGridGrowing]

I already am thankful of the Wagon lol. My arms are happy 😊

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

I’m so happy for you guys you have accomplished so many amazing things in just a short time ❤ You hard work is finally paying off ❤❤❤

[@OffGridGrowing]

Thank you Lou Lou ❤️ sure feels like we are accomplishing a lot

[@phuongvo3051]

Please keep your dog away from the nest , bee could attack them ,

[@OffGridGrowing]

Oh Nelly hates bees and stays away from bees on her own

[@joreeves7444]

Power up like AC DC. Like the new system. 🎉🎉.

[@OffGridGrowing]

Yup yup ❤️ hope you are well Jo

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Looks like those panels are going to end up breaking that thin steel you got on there I'd be putting it on a good slant wouldn't leave them flat

[@OffGridGrowing]

They are on a slant but I think reinforcing them or getting thicker steel is needed for sure

[@hippychicktarot]

Woooohooooo! Watching now! Solar ☀️ babyyyyy!!!!!

[@OffGridGrowing]

Our lives just got a whole lot easier 😁

[@bobsnyder0547]

You did it. 🎉A top notch solar system! What a game changer. And the 🐝 honey 🍯 bees! How is the orchard doing? I’m originally from DuBois now State College PA! Would love to keep up with the trees from Musser nursery. The two of you rock in my book. Keep on Keeping on

[@OffGridGrowing]

The orchard is doing pretty good and everything I put in it this year is growing like crazy 😁.. We are getting ready to plant the Plums for Messers Nursery in the next few week

[@deborahmcsweeney3349]

Life is good for y'all! Yeah! Everything is looking great!

[@OffGridGrowing]

Things are getting better aren't they 😁

[@VivereInCamperMacchitelofaffa]

hi there, my name is Armando. I did a collaboration with my channel with Ecoworthy and they send me the same solar tracker. Now they told me that the actuator that moves the structure East to West should be mounted on the west side and not the east (seems that because of some feedback they made this change but not on the paper instructions). So...for me the system works, I don't have any particular problems. Switch side for me means pretty much uninstall everything (not looking for). I saw you mounted the actuator on the west side, is there any huge difference? Seriously I wonder if there is a difference before to take down all the system and pretty much reinstall. thanks

[@OffGridGrowing]

Honestly I'm not sure if there is a difference.. I have only had it mounted on the west side so I can't really speak to how it operates mounted on the east. Does it track the sun ok?

[@VivereInCamperMacchitelofaffa]

@@OffGridGrowing so far yes, I was looking for some technical reason why should be on the other side? Maybe because the movement it's always to the west?

[@OffGridGrowing]

@VivereInCamperMacchitelofaffa I think it's less stress on the actuator to pull instead of push.. I honestly did thevsame thing at first because the directions were not clear. I took it apart and redid it.

[@RayHuber-if7yb]

I have one of those wagons,..they are nice. Did you ever fry anything in peanut oil ?? It's expensive, but gives your food the best taste. Nice solar system, didn't know it moves by its self. Cool 🙂👍 Mmm stuffed peppers, we make that a lot.👍

[@OffGridGrowing]

The wagon should help Jes a lot.. I think Allen did fry us something in peanut oil once before but I can't say I remember what it tasted like... the solar is one step up for sure

[@highervibrations5120]

All around good stuff goings on here! ❤

[@OffGridGrowing]

Agreed

[@connydijkstra7781]

Amazing you are doing a great job!! Like the vlog and I am glad that the solarpanels are working!!😊 Do you still work togetheter with the couple you eat and work together past summer? Keep the spirit 🎉

[@OffGridGrowing]

Thanks Conny ❤️ things are really starting to come together.. They have been really busy with work and time hasn't really allowed for it unfortunately

[@ladydub232]

So many great things happening! ✨Stoked to see you guys have solar working now! 🌞 Cheers to your awesome success!🌿🎉💫

[@OffGridGrowing]

Thank you 😁 Jes was really thankful and I'm proud at the steps we are taking forward

[@rodyep3136]

You both have started me on my off-grid journey. So you're kind of my gurus. I await your videos😊

[@OffGridGrowing]

Just remember to take your time and be strategic with resources.. We made costly mistakes in the past that could be avoided.. The life can be difficult but so worth it.. Looking forward to hearing about your journey

[@angelaprovencher7150]

Finally, solar!!! congrats! I'll like to suggest something now. Since it's spring time with summer temps It would be wise to go get y'all some black out curtains to hang up in front of y'all's big window , so to keep out the sunlight and heat during the day and to keep the Dome cool. Look for the curtains at thrift stores and good will stores. I know you will do good this year in growing you garden, Every year your garden did good and with each year it gets better. What do y'all want to get done next? Oh yeah need to start cutting up dead trees for fire wood every time y'all come across a dead tree. You can never have enough fire wood for the winter.Well can't wait to see what's next. Have a good week.

[@OffGridGrowing]

Yea we definitely need to put up the blackout curtain that we have for the window.. Just need to get a few things for it still. New rainwater Collection is next I think so we can get water to the Dome

[@williammeek7218]

Yep four wheels is better than two legs. That wagon is prime equipment.

[@OffGridGrowing]

Agreed :)

[@JustLou71]

Oh no not the dreaded..being replaced by a wagon!!! Haha! Still impressed by everything you two are doing! Power!!!

[@OffGridGrowing]

Lol right 😁 Thank you and hope all is well

[@craigwitte2943]

keep the morel cooking simple, just saute them in butter. you will taste the mushroom. mighty fine eats!!! I hope the new solar system will be able to handle some strong winds ?

[@OffGridGrowing]

It has a wind sensor so it goes flat to help with stress but I'm already thinking of getting stronger unistrut to get ahead of any problems

[@racebanning6390]

Good things , Sun power, AC, glad to see👍👍Prayers and blessings always. Happy Spring.

[@OffGridGrowing]

Thanks bud 😁 was a good week for sure

[@reneltoweikel3558]

When you put the sub roof on it will tighten it up and it won't be able to shake them walls at all Advil houses for 30 years or better

[@OffGridGrowing]

Ok I'll try that

[@Darnahroc]

Also we have same ac unit. We too use generator but has to be our 5500 watt. Gonna try and keep up with what u use for solar watt and batteries

[@OffGridGrowing]

I'm going to add done more panels in the next week and we should be able to use the ac all day off our solar

[@tinataylor2698]

Congratulations on the electric 🎉wahoo!

[@OffGridGrowing]

Thank you Tina

[@michaelvanallen6400]

*All studies (!) only showed additional yields of between 20% (single-axis) and 37% of solar trackers.* Due to the extreme drop in the price of solar modules tracking systems are now superfluous. In any case, they are mechanics and need maintenance. And they are very susceptible to wind. For this reason and because of the mechanics, most of them only last a 1-10 years. *It is much cheaper and much more reliable to simply install more solar modules!* If you want more constant yields throughout the day, you simply have to set up the modules in an S-E and S-W orientation.

Yea we need to get a decent sized one.. I've been looking

@@OffGridGrowing we got a dome from Pacific Domes and got the solar fan kit with it. It mounts up high and automatically kicks on when the temp reaches 80° on its thermostat.

We were going to get that but when we ordered the dome we couldn't afford that feature unfortunately :( Does it work good?
