I got my electric bill down from $150/month to about $10/month by installing my own DIY Battery Solar system. Yes, it costs a lot up front but you're looking at an ROI of 8-10 years instead of a typical 20 years for a roof mounted solar system that is stalled for you.
The system is completely off grid so you do not have to mess with any compliance with the city but you still should follow any kind of precautions and safety standards such as proper wiring sizes, fuses, etc.

    Second, the low temperature cutoff is strictly for charging. You cannot charge a lithium iron phosphate battery colder than 32°f or so. If you do, you cause filamentation which severely damages your battery.

  • @brynduffy

    Right out of the gate, I see you chose 12 volt but you should have chose 24 volt to reduce your cost on cables and improve efficiency.

    • @BeatTheBush

      Agreed. Now this setup would need a battery balancer. But the cable cost is minimal as it only needs one additional 10" piece.

    i recently found a 54quart 12v dc fridge on walmart for 99bucks shipped. I got it for camping or maybe road trips but i decided to use it as a drink fridge for awhile since our main fridge is always full. I attempted to eco mod it by adding aluminum foil tape to the outside and on the adjacent side of the compressor to lower its thermal emissivity, and also added some black gorilla tape to the hot side. somehow even with opening it a couple times per day, it only uses 0.2kwh/day plugged in. I figure that if it avoids me opening the main fridge once or twice a day for a drink/water bottle, it will actually save us money. might be worth looking for a sponsored one like the metal iceco. currently building a 12v lifepo4 battery pack which will use a pwm solar charge controller to charge from a GaN 65w usb-c charger. i figure i might be able to get the efficiency a bit higher using a GaN powersupply which is kind of crazy to think about running a medium sized fridge from USB-c lol

    I have watched you for a long time. I decided to put my thoughts here in case you read it. 1. You cannot love everybody and you cannot expect everybody loves you. This is a fact. You need to learn how to ignore them. 2. Early at your you-tube carrier, you calculated your house as an asset, and put it in your financial portfolio. Since it does not produce any monthly return, you should can rely on it. 3. You got drunk with your early success in stock market. in one of your video, you claimed you get more monthly return than you burn. This was not totally true because some part came from your house. 4. I think you are natural with youtube, even you go back to day job, you can post a couple of videos weekly. We enjoy them.

    My clothes have no logos or branding. They are all by street wear brands (non-designer). But to elevate my look, I opt for dressy sneakers, other than my gym sneakers by Nike and ON. I bought, over time, a few designer sneakers by PRADA, TOD'S, FERRAGAMO, and BRUNELLO CUCINELLI. All of my sneakers have discrete to no branding, except for my PRADA'S. They do have the branding, and triangle logo plate on it. The reason why I bought these is because the PRADA Downtown Sneakers are the only style by PRADA that appealed to me as to their take on Nike Dunks and Jordan's. The Prada Downtown sneakers are very high-street. Also, Prada is made of leather and the sneaker itself is structured. Nike Dunks is made of synthetic and looks flimsy - case in point. Will I get mugged or draw attention by wearing these sneakers?
