Off Grid Living

Talker

An article from M2now.com got me thinking about Off Grid Living. They were suggesting three ways starting with solar energy production, grid tied solar panels and hybrid solar panels with battery backup, but there are also low cost options, like water tanks, sewerage treatment, grey water recycling, sustainable fuel sources. Why not start of with some simple low cost options, before the expensive stuff? What are you thoughts

Hey Talker,

Are you a solar energy product supplier? I would love to get started on solar, but have always thought solar panels are expensive and have a multi-year payback, so haven't ever got started.

What would you start with? I am in the UK (not so much sun 🙂)

Thinking about it a bit more, I think I might start with some sort of heat exchange system to get some hot water.

JPC Have you thought about a simple wetback system if your planning on using solid fuel?
