I find myself in possession of a solar panel. It has a plug outlet that is round with two round holes in it. Does anyone have any idea whether this connector has a name, and/or what I could plug this into (other than the out-of-production system it originally belonged to)?

How I know my VPN has firmly established my apparent identity on the other side of the planet...my vendors send me texts in what is the afternoon of the VPN country, even though it is past midnight here at my physical address, which is an hour away from my mailing address.
Fascinating look at Mark Young's Canadian island 20-acre off-grid dance studio and home.
I'm always intrigued by people's off-grid setups. Mark has an incredible home.

Does anyone here know of low EMF or off grid housing in the U.S.? My friend with severe EHS urgently needs stable housing. I’m trying to help her find something workable. Even one lead would mean a lot.
Looking specifically for:
• Existing low EMF communities in the U.S.
• Developers building off grid housing
• Land share opportunities
This is for someone with severe EHS. DMs open.
@AwetTesfaiesus Ich prognostiziere einen immer höheren Anteil von #offgrid Anlagen. 😕
Edit: offgrid ist unsolidarisch

The SOLAR PV is now contributing 🎉 it took 4 blokes in a shed bouncing ideas back & forth. I watched as have no electric skills at all. The great thing is that it seems some clever settings switching between inverters (solar/wind) was needed. Some new noises when switching.
I have even charged the car at home for the first time 🎉 and the charger goes through a cat flap 😂
i have an appointment tomorrow with an excavator person recommended by a friend of mine who has worked with him before. he is going to come to my place, we'll discuss what i'd like done, show him the area, and hopefully he'll give me an estimate. i am nerrrvvvvouusss! i've never hired a contractor before and i'm nervous about explaining myself and just not sure about how this is supposed to go.
i just get nervous around social interactions where i'm not sure how it's supposed to go (ie, the "social script"). i'm sure it'll be fine.
On Thermo-Electric Generator (TEG) For Ground-Source Heat (2015) - Find out if this potential tiny source of DC electric power from mid-winter ground heat added to my solar PV. Is London cold enough? #microgen #offGrid - https://www.earth.org.uk/note-on-TEG-thermo-electric-generator.html
@farbel As for a battle plan, maybe we don't need one, take for example the upcoming market for #mortgagefree solar powered #offgrid
mobile #tinyhouses , which reduces the footprint and also decreases the dependence on fiat money and reducing the need to partake in this life-unfriendly economy.
I am a newcomer in this field, but I wonder whether there are also already self supporting tiny home communities with their own currencies...🧐
We’re training alpacas for the Utah backcountry! 🏔️🦙
We are officially documenting our journey of training these amazing animals to be our hiking and camping companions. We’re currently a year into building our off-grid property in the Sanpete Valley, and while we’re still living in our campers, the ranch life is in full swing.
We just posted our first video. It's called "A Quiet Beginning" and is just a mini-intro. We'll be posting weekly content.
If your feed feels a little noisy, we invite you to step into our world. Our videos are a deep breath of unfiltered calm—no talking and no rush. Just the sounds of the "Woof Pack," the wind through the high-mountain valley, and our alpacas grazing.
Subscribe and keep an eye on us as we grow and eventually head from the pasture to the peaks:

For some reason, I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of #DLNA.
I’ve been tinkering with the idea of an off-grid setup for when electricity or internet is down and built around my GL.iNet Slate AX travel router.
Sure, it’s not #plex or #jellyfin but it’s close enough when it can be run for days/weeks off a battery bank.
I worked with my bf (who's a builder) to draw up a tentative design for the cabin i'd like to get built this year.
since i have access to AutoCAD as part of my schoolwork this semester, i took the opportunity to draw the plan in AutoCAD. i've attached a screenshot of it here.
a few notes:
* there's no bathroom included because the composting toilet and shower will be in a separate structure directly to the south of the house (south = bottom of the drawing).
* lanai = covered porch. if possible, it would be lovely to get it screened in.
* apologies for tiny text. the tiny text on the left says "ladder to loft." the loft isn't included, but it will be the same size as the bedroom and will be an additional sleeping area. the tiny text on the right says "sliding patio doors"
* catchment and solar panels aren't included in the drawing
* the goal is to build this so that the roof can be extended toward the south (the bottom of the drawing). the bathroom structure will be located in that direction and there can be covered storage and potentially a washer/dryer there. the idea is that you would go out the back door (the door near the fridge), there's a covered area there, you can walk to the bathroom, and access laundry there as well.
it's going to be a very simple construction out of plywood and metal roof, on a pier and post base (very common around here). we tried to make the dimensions so that they match typical material sizes to maximize use of materials and minimize cuts.
again, this is just a preliminary design and is very much subject to change, but i wanted to share it.
it's still rainy here, so i haven't made any progress on clearing out the area that will extend the driveway and go to the housepad area, but at least i did something useful and created this plan.
