What Did It Cost? – The Price of Our ENTIRE Solar Power System. Photo – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-aeOzBn6YE
A key part of living off-grid is generating your own power. While there are many options (including micro-hydro, geothermal, and wind turbine), solar tends to be the most popular — and for good reason. This video gives an interesting insight into the cost of a full solar power system.
From an economic as well as ecological standpoint, it may be wise to invest in a solar power system rather than rely on grid electricity — which has seen price hikes over the years. There’s also the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have a stable full-time power connection, immune from random / scheduled outages.
For these reasons, more and more off-grid aficionados and preppers are installing solar panels to facilitate self-reliance, as the cost of the systems continues to drop. This includes the good folk at Wild Wonderful Off-Grid, who highlight the total cost of their completely off-grid solar power system.
This is a pro build, not a rinky dink home setup – and quite an expensive setup in my view – with for example Lithium batteries and premium electronic components. There’s no corner cutting – which is important when you think that solar is a long term investment that requires long term reliability!
Here’s a breakdown of the components they needed and the price of each item/service. (We’ve linked to some similar examples seen on Amazon)
• 12 Hanwah Solar Panels – $2,743
• Combiner Box – $95
• Schneider Electric Conext XW5448 AC Inverter (5500w) – $2,655
• Power Distribution Panel – $595
• Control Panel – $210
• W230 Battery Monitoring System – $360
• Conext Combox Communication Device – $189
• Conext XW MPPT80 Charge Controller – $1,195
• Miscellaneous – $535
• Solar Stanchion Parts – $912 + $980 (120ft of 3” Steel Pipe for Stanchion)
• Shipping Cost – $570 (-$197 discount)
• 4 used Tesla Model S Batteries (via eBay) – 464Ah – $4,800
This totals to $15,640, which – astonishingly – would be just about the same amount it would have taken the power company to get them on the grid (and then a bill on top). So it’s a bargain compared to being on the grid.
Your situation is unique and several factors determine your final cost—including the size of your system, the state you live in, the brands you purchase, the characteristics of your home, and whether you go DIY-style or hire professionals.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:
According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.
It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.
Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!
As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?
But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!
The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.
This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.
Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...
Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...
Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:
An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.
Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.
