Our government should provide more incentives to allow landlords to provide the opportunity for tenants to access the technology and then cost of living pressures might subside. Love your work, keep the videos coming ✅🦠⛈🔥
@jonathanrashleigh87712 жыл бұрын
It’s a bit of misconception that you’ll never pay a bill again. Batteries need replacing/expanding and panels need upgrading. Even the inverters (the really expensive part) die. So put that power bill money aside you are going to need it one day. Love being off grid though and the obvious environmental benefits.
@ballbous Жыл бұрын
@@jonathanrashleigh8771 It's really a misconception that the costs of maintaining a modern LiFePo4 system are anywhere near an order of magnitude lower than what you can expect to pay for mains electricity, especially these last few years, the quality of inverters has improved drastically over the last 3 years, and the cost of inverters, panels and cells has all fallen similarly. LiFePo4 cell longevity increases exponentially with reduced depth of discharge, so you can expect them to outlive you if you oversize them adequately. You can get a modern, high quality 5kw Chinese inverter for 500 AUD and an 11kw inverter for under 1000 AUD, at current electricity prices; buying low cost components a high electricity user could turn over their system every 2 years and still be near breaking even. Nothing needs replacing anywhere near every 2 years.

I've talked to a bunch of people about stand-alone power systems and many complain at the price tag. True, there is a bit of money involved, but compared to getting mains power connected (if such a thing is even remotely possible where your property is) it's a no-brainer! The efficiency and simplicity of components today, as compared to even 10 years ago, is amazing. If people want to go really cheaply, then they can get everything from panels ($20-50), inverters (under $100) and batteries (about $100 each) second-hand from Facebook Marketplace and other sites. The quality varies radically and ideally you would have everything tested (buyer beware!). I should point out though, that while you CAN go quite cheaply, you're getting it cheap for a reason and I wouldn't rely on it for a long-term system. As with most things, new is usually best. Once again you've shown us that it's not rocket surgery. Well done and nicely explained. Thanks Scott.

Hi there Scott. My husband and I are very impressed with your brilliant solar power arrangement. We are in the process of replacing our solar batteries (bought second hand and pretty much on their last legs now). We are interested that you bought the LifePo Oz batteries. We've seen so much criticism online, rubbishing this brand and would like your opinion, as someone who obviously knows what he's talking about. Are you happy with the quality of the LifePo batteries you bought? Are they performing up to your expectations and requirements?

Hi Toni. Thank you! So far my use of the system has been limited. I'm still in transit to Iive there permanently. However so far so good. The batteries have never dropped below 80% full. Mine are the Eve 280 amp hour batteries. So I guess I'm happy at this stage. I'll do a more comprehensive review in the future. All the best.
