Buying energy efficient everything and doing things like drying your clothes on a clothes line can reduce your power needs from a 4000w system to a much more affordable 1000w-2000w system. And, if you're not going completely off the grid (battery banks are expensive) you can grid tie your system and use their energy at night, and sell back your excess during the day.greensurvivalismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137207644660440063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686787788617551047.post-60848978728297538962011-03-30T23:58:59.654-07:002011-03-30T23:58:59.654-07:00It's an old one my father had from Dick Smith ...It's an old one my father had from Dick Smith Electronics (Australia).
