Are you part of the environment?

One of the hidden benefits of living in an off the grid house and relying on renewable sources of energy is that you become acutely aware of the weather.  From simple tasks such as doing a load of laundry, is there ample power to run the washing machine, is it sunny enough to dry the clothes on the line?

Over prolonged cloudy periods where the Photo Voltaic panels are not putting out as much power we curb power usage even more.  For example we may not have our internet connection on all day, just turn it on a couple of times during the day or cut back on the coffee machine use!

Over time you actually learn to live in far more harmony with the “elements” and have a far greater appreciation for the abundance that is around us every day.
