I was looking more at a diesel generator. A battery solution would have to be a full shipping container of batteries to cover for any long solar or power outages.
I have found a solution that I can install for about $14.5k that will fit in my garage. Batteries are rated for 10years.
I have much better access to solar in FL than potentially diesel if things ever go tits up, and I like the 0 decibel output of battery system since the area I live is not rural, but not too densely populated
Ok Florida is maybe manageable because of warmer climate and a lot of sun. I’m in an area that still has some colder winters and a timespan where the sun hardly rises above the horizon..
I have a decent amount of experience. Go with the generator. Unless it's always sunny where you are. Reach out if you want to discuss
Would love to pick your brain...let me know best way to connect offline.

I build a thing with the Ecoflow Ecosystem. Nice to use, but i don’t know if it will work for you.
I was looking at ecoflow system....delta pro whole home 18 kWh. Why don't you think it would work
Yes I will be wanting to implement something like this as well.
This is the one I'm eyeing....plan you can add inverters and batteries over time to expand power too. Since batteries are set to last 10 years my plan is to potentially add on in 3 years to spread out lifetime of system
For the clouds get a cheap gas generators to charge it maybe.
Have two gas generators that have gotten me through hurricanes in the past. Should extend power options way further for any extended outages
Adding the battery may be a big asset because you could use it to charge the batteries then cycle the generator on and off as needed. Where did you get you battery’s
The Tesla power wall + solar has been great. I got two batteries and as much solar on my house as they could fit. I basically paid $100 down payment and a week later some van showed up literally hoisted a fuckin' jolly roger flag, and I had power the next day. Biggest issue was getting Duke fuckin' energy to accept my energy back into the grid. That said, we've had two major hurricanes since and I've never lost power once in the years I've had it now.
I dont know what a "long solar outage" would portend, but if its ragnarok and fenrir eats the moon we have bigger problems.
Current setup being shipped is 18 kWh of ecoflow delta pro ultra X with one inverted and smart panel. Bought them from Costco with their Black Friday deal (goes through Dec21 though). Can add on up to two additional inverters and up to 90 kWh of batteries. The space I have in mind will probably cap at 60 kWh and two inverters
Power back to grid?!?!? Sounds like you need to expand you home mining operations 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
It's not worth it. I just wanted to have the connectivity in a lapse. Since I also drive a spyware tesla car, most of my energy use goes to my car. Plus I don't pay for power at my office so...
I almost bought a spyware car before I went down the Bitcoin rabbit hole....🕳️
I upgraded my rig to a Wrangler manual transmission Jeep with physical key, 3 inch lift, extra gas tank for longer range (backup gas for homestead), case for "drill" with extra screws, and soft top so I could get Vitamin D during dry season in FL
My next car will be an old diesel jeep. Great value in this tesla though because there is basically nothing to go wrong and its two main component, the motors and battery, get a 100,000 mile warranty so I'm going to drive this thing until it collapses into unstability and burns me alive in a glorious conflagration.
I've thought about a Tesla as a daily driver and then not paying my license and registration on the Jeep and driving it only on weekends to extend its life. Then I remember I don't want to spend anytime in the gulag so I just keep driving it. The idea of paying car insurance on a second vehicle seems to be the most fiat thing I could...so staying humble and stacking sats
Im trying to humble so hard.
It's also my biggest struggle....
🤔😳…ur a complex MF
@SuiGenerisJohn 🤦🏽♂️…an enigma draped in a riddle wrapped in a box ⭕️ chocolate tards….SMFH😂⭕️🫂
I miss you too Stache.
🤦🏽♂️⭕️
Each battery is 128 lbs....need to stretch before moving around
Wow these are huge
