Hey Everyone,
I am attempting to completely go off the grid with my little homestead and chicken house since my local power regularly cuts off even to do the smallest things.
I already installed the solar panels, but now I am even stuck with the right kind of batteries. Sellers continue to market AGM batteries, but these are expensive and I doubt they will make a good long-term purchase.
What I actually need to run:
– coop lighting and some fans at night.
– a little water pump to the birds in the daytime.
– a fridge that stays on 24/7
– and sometimes some little furnishings.
Any cheaper and still good alternatives?
