Hi all,
Would like to thank you all for the wealth of knowledge you all contribute on this site. All very helpful for a new guy line myself.
I have a complete off- grid cabin in upper Michigan currently running on a onan 5kw propane generator. We have been monitoring our loads since spring. We have a total of 2200 watt hours measured with a kilowatt plugin type display and adjusted our usage as seeing fit. I also monitored our usage with a recorder my brother uses at work. He works at our local electric utility co. With a 3 day stay at camp, that is our average stay, three trips we averaged about 1800 watt hours.
From reading Chris Olsen's post on Sizing Off-grid using gen support, I am getting ready to make a big step forward. Considered a Schneider SW4024 but I have found a good deal on a XW4024. For battery bank four US 250HCXC @ 280ah. Solar panels and controller to be installed in fall or spring of next year.
I welcome all comments good or bad. I have big shoulders.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
