Antenna rotor/rotator for your solar panel pole
I remember a few videos back, you mentioned that you were going to have a pole for your solar panels and wind mill. What you could do is buy an antenna rotor to have all of the solar panels at once aim towards the sun and track its position throughout the day. The only downside of this is that you c...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!
Change of plans occurred and I returned yesterday. I placed about 20 mothballs in the area for overkill and it seems to have helped keep the place from becoming an insect-infested place. Only a few spiders are in there along with those very slow-moving insects plus it's very dirty. Because I put 20 ...

You might want to put this higher up on the forum so people can see that this exists.

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!
I believe that that is the problem, too. I purchased myself a hard start kit (extra capacitor) for it to see if that will supply the power for the surge along with the 1,200 watts that the inverter can handle. I'll install it when I return to GA in 6 days. A day before I left, though, I switched out...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!
Here's a few pictures of the place that are fairly recent. I don't have any ones from yesterday because it looks like a mess trying to get the inverter disconnected and such. http://imgur.com/a/XEuPj" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - Link to the pictures Picture 1 December 8, 2013 The...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!
Well ,today I didn't get the paneling due to size restrictions so that probably won't happen until mid-July. Also, my 600 watt inverter decided to die at 2:30 today and I'm awaiting a response from the company to see if I can exchange it because it sounds like there's a part loose in there. If not, ...

Your air conditioner's cooling
Hi, Troy and all who read this! I saw your video about your solar-powered air conditioning in your RV and I wanted to let you know that the small air gaps you have on the sides of your air conditioning are obviously letting the brand new cold air out and the hot air from the back of the A/C in. All ...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!
Hi again, I'm very sorry that I haven't responded to you in 24 days. I have been having issues with logging in and I just got my account's password and information reset. For some reason, the old password I saved for this was not working anymore. I do recall sending you a message on YouTube about th...

Re: Air conditioner advice?
Thanks for the help! Are you sure that the capacitor you listed will work with the specific air conditioner, Jc? If you're sure, let me know and I'll buy it as soon as you reply. I tried your tip with the fan and the buzzing wasn't AS bad, but it still didn't let the compressor turn on. Cold, thanks...

Air conditioner advice?
Down where I live in north Georgia, everything's in full bloom and the roads have turned yellow with pollen. This means one thing: summer. I bought an air conditioner and it's all installed and such (story within itself). I plugged it in and flipped it on, and the compressor won't kick on because it...
