Off grid and environmentally friendly ....not LOL. Charged with solar...not in this weather ... so a battery, inverter, high power output and charge the battery with a diesel gen....but interesting to see. Would suggest the 3 pylon tech units on the floor are put in a rack but apart from that looks tidy. Will be interesting to see how its behaving in a few years with the abuse it will get

It hasn't been done to be environmentally friendly. It's been done to be reliable and independent.
Even covered in snow the panels are giving a trickle.

Thats the best reason in my opinion I think the panels may take a little while to get the capacity back into the battery especially with the load

To be fair the Pylontech units dont break the bank nor do the Victron units

Good timing for San Fran if you like Dungeness crab. Season has just recently opened for central California.
