Thinking about upgrading your solar system for home use? 🌞 We did it 6 months ago—and it’s completely changed the way we live off-grid. In this video, we share the impact of upgrading from an 8 kW inverter to a 12 kW inverter, along with installing 48 kWh of LiFePO₄ battery storage. Once balanced, these lithium iron phosphate batteries have been absolutely brilliant! Before the upgrade, we relied heavily on the generator—especially during winter. Now? We’ve only had to run it a couple of times on very dark days, a huge improvement from our old system. It’s quieter, more efficient, and far more reliable. We take a look at system performance and how this change has brought real peace of mind during cloudy weeks and cold seasons. 🔋 48 kWh LiFePO₄ Batteries ⚡ 12 kW Inverter (Upgraded from 8 kW) 🌤 Winter Performance 🔥 Minimal Generator Use 🏡 Fully Off-Grid Living If you're living off-grid or considering a solar upgrade, this video gives you real-world insight into what works—and what to expect. #SolarSystemForHome #OffGridLiving #SolarUpgrade #LiFePO4 #InverterUpgrade #HomeSolarPower #BatteryStorage #SolarEnergy #OffGridLife #SolarPower #SustainableLiving #RenewableEnergy https://www.instagram.com/farmvillacampagna

Thinking about going off-grid with solar power? In this video, I’ll take you through the 10kW off-grid solar system I built in Italy, sharing the full cost breakdown and how I sourced all the components. Whether you're planning your own DIY solar setup or just curious about the investment required, this is an eye-opener! 🔍 What You’ll Learn: ✔️ How I designed & built my 10kW off-grid solar system 🚀 ✔️ Where I sourced my solar panels, batteries, and inverter 🔧 ✔️ The total cost of the system (it surprised me too! 😲) 💰 ✔️ How I recovered my investment through energy savings ⚡ ✔️ Lessons learned after 4+ years of off-grid living 🏡 This isn't an in-depth installation guide—plenty of great channels cover that—but it's an honest real-world look at what it takes to go off-grid, both financially and practically. 💬 Thinking about off-grid solar?

It's the end of our third month living off-grid in Italy, and despite having more sunny days than November, our DIY 10kW solar system's performance in December was not as expected. We ended up using our generator more often, which I attribute to two main factors: shorter solar generation windows leading up to the shortest day of the year (21/12) and running mini-split air conditioners on cloudy days to keep our home warm. In this video, I share the challenges of living off-grid in winter, how we balanced solar power and generator use, and my recent upgrade to Solar Assistant's solar monitoring system. The improvements in solar monitoring, reporting, and logging have been a total game-changer, far surpassing our previous setup.

In the realm of off-grid solar power systems, your battery bank is the heart of your energy storage. Join us as we explore the critical role of battery banks in off-grid living and discover strategies for optimizing their performance. In this video, we share with you our cunning plan to get through winter. We need to rely on a generator during winter but as we only have a 3Kw generator a cunning plan was required in order to minimise disruption when running on the generator.
