Hi,
I am living in Thailand outside and we have been building up a homestead. We do run things on solar with batteries and parallel to this with government electric.
I am thinking to expand the solar by adding more batteries and panels and have a switch between the batteties as a backup.
At the same time, I am thinking to have certain equipment to convert to electric. For example, my family has a very old in rather good condition pickup. It is a very light one thus convertable. Also, thinking about getting a second hand atv that I will directly convert.
Finally, I have petrol brush cutter and thinking of getting a 80v electric one. All of these things are rather expensive.
thus slowly moving to electric things that I can charge with solar.
Does this make any sense. All of these are big investments that if things would remain normal would maybe not make sense.
Kind regards,
Peter
