    I love the music. You always create a great vibe in your videos. Awesome that you lose power and still smile. You have figured out life’s secret. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Thank you for the show.

      Thank you! We definitely try to not sweat the small stuff! There’s so much to learn, and be grateful for.
      Thanks for your kind words. I think the music is here to stay ❤️⭐️

    I have a similar setup but if you haven’t already you need to put the positive terminal of your main connection at the top and the negative at the bottom of the bus bar to equally charge and discharge the batteries. It’s called diagonal configuration for current sharing. Best of luck y’all! Love the vids!

    Love the snow :) But we off gridders like the sun too, Awesome video the sun was so nice on the snow 👍, We are getting dumped on just a little east of you :) I been waiting but it's here & I got the old tundra back together just in time ! -15c & snow all day so I've been out grooming my main wood hauling trails, Sounds like another 6"s on it's way tonight :)) Have a great weekend

      @@airman6822 the snow is glorious! Yes we drained it. We are thinking of filling it and turning it on for Christmas break! Hopefully the temps are mild enough that we can do that. We have the little wood stove to heat it. But we could also just run it on power. It’s a 110v pump/heater.

    Could you put a vibrater on the frame of the panels on a timer to clear the panels?

      @@shawndonohoe2789 possibly yes! Sweeping them isn’t so bad though we have an ideal tool. And it doesn’t use any power.
      We like your innovation, maybe in the future an automatic system would be an asset. Especially if you were going to be away from home for a while. It would ensure your panels are clear in your absence.

    Nice video and super nice place.. However, it would be better if there was no music... we would rather listen to natural sounds. For example when plowing snow or walking through the snow and woods. The real sounds are always better than having to listen to some music while we watch..
