Great build and very similar to my off grid office. Tuff sheds are unbeatable for the price.
I went with a 16' x 12' (max size without needing a permit). Spray foamed the interior. Have not needed AC, but planning on putting in a 9k BTU mini split for heating/cooling.
I have a 3.3kWh 12v battery for accessories (lighting, water pump, fridge, cameras, 5G/wifi) and a 5.6kWh 48v for the rest.
I bought 5kw of used panels but have not mounted them (right now only 1.25kw hooked up laying on the ground)
Future plans are to try solar hot water storage - either insulated vacuum tubes, or dumping excess solar -> heating element.
- Syonyk 5y agoI thought about some hot water storage, but I just don't have the space for the tanks, and it seems more trouble than it's worth. I have heaters, but mostly bundle up in the winter and focus on keeping myself warm. An incandescent bulb over the keyboard is great for heating hands too!
