  • If you’ve ever worried that you wouldn’t be able to produce enough power when off the grid in a tiny house on wheels, this house may be the one to reassure you! I never thought that we would see a tiny house which has quite so many solar panels on the roof. Amazingly, this tiny house has a 4kw solar array with 36kw of lead acid battery storage, allowing the family to power not just their home (including all the modern appliances) but also a tiny house building workshop!

    The home was constructed as a DIY build by Glade and Cloe, with the vast majority of all the materials being found in the hard rubbish. With all the labour done by the couple, and with the building materials mostly up-cycled and recycled, the home was constructed for an amazing price of only AU$10,000!

    Sitting on 12 acres just outside of Melbourne, Australia the off-the-grid tiny house is an ideal home for his young family. Glade has started his own tiny house construction business which operates from his property, allowing him to spend time at home with his family. Their home is packed full of clever design ideas and is definitely one to check out. I hope you enjoy the video tour of this stunning off the grid tiny house.

    One of the best tiny houses I have ever seen. The house looked lived in with kids and made sense in its construction. The family radiated joy and healing! They were so chilled out.
    Their home is similar to way earlier homes were built minus the solar, maybe. I say maybe because historians never considered solar as a possible source of energy when I was at university. Their monthly bills are about 15 dollars! Amazing!

That solar array, holy cow, that was amazing. There's a lot of talk in the media about how it's not possible to run on renewables but if everyone took control of their own personal needs then I think it would work in large part. Big energy company's are probably a little bit scared.

The kids basically only see him on the weekends and he’s always exhausted and irritated by work and weekend calls with share holders - the whole lot... It’s crazy. At some point money doesn’t improve your quality of life - it just enslaves you to work for itself. No meaning attached.

I wish people didn't have to have such an existential disaster to realise that our current Lifestyle is not of real value. Huge hard earned expensive SUV cars destroyed!! And in the midst of it all, we have people from all over, Spain, Denmark, locals Germans, immigrants all helping and showing what is REALLY valuable in life. We are destroying our earth and ourselves by being slaves to marketing strategies trying to convince us to buy stuff we don't need. I hope we can make a change before it's definitely too late.

They didn't have to compromise or sacrifice one thing because they built this home with love and appreciation for each other! He did an amazing job on this house: it's built on a sensible budget, they have functionality, and everything is laid out nicely. Another thing, they are both loving and living their lives, it appears, with complete contentment. I love the kitchen, the stairs, the dining area and the wood on the inside!!! Maybe a few more Windows , but this is their home & it was built to meet their needs and at the most sensible price ever!! Great job!!!!!

    Once you get past the solar panel array on the facade, it's easy to love this house. The inside is an incredible contrast with the warm, timbered ceiling and walls. But what's really nice about rhe house is the philosophy behind it - sustainability and self- reliance whether in energy or family relationships. I've seen people with massive multi structure houses which drove family members apart so I can resonate with the dad saying he is a present father. His kids and his wife are very lucky to have such an insightful dad/hubby. Btw, love how insightful Bryce is with regards to his keen observations such as which aode of the bed the dad sleeps on. It's a detail that shows how much rapport he has with the people he features. I also won't get over how many times I hear him thank the houseowners for inviting him in. Old school respect mever goes out of fashion.

      Spiegelvoorelkaar Also, most of the videos don’t include the cost of land. Most of the tiny house dwellers live on someone else’s land; in this video the couple already owned the land.
      Land cost, of course, drives the cost of everything else. In northwestern Iowa you can still find houses for under 100k $, but the median house cost over $800k in Orange County, California where the vast majority of the population cannot afford to buy a home. And even tiny homes would be hugely expensive in the OC because of the land cost.
      We need systemic solutions for housing costs around the world. It’s all well and good for people to find solutions for themselves, but that doesn’t fix the housing crisis on a broad enough scale.
      Also, I cannot wait for the solar panel skins to become broadly available. It’s possible to make solar panels look like whatever one’s heart desires. Imagine the tiny house in this vid if the solar panels blended into the house and it’s surroundings better.

This is probably one of the best family homes I’ve seen as most people don’t grasp how much you really can have if you want it inside the tiny home, Without spending a fortune. I’m so glad you’re helping other people to learn these issues and help him out. I think it’s important to pay it forward. I love all your extra building so that you can continue your trade and I love how content your children seem to be and I think that’s important part is a quotation as well. I wish you all the best of luck in the future may all your dreams come true
