We are finally running the house on SOLAR! Yay!
Let me just explain what this looks like for you as a guest with us. While the sun is out, we are making more power than we are using. Once the sun goes down, we use some of our battery, and then switch over to the grid. We keep a large percentage of the solar battery full so that if we should lose power after dark, we have back up.
If we should lose power overnight, we will not have air conditioning, but everything else will be working. If we run through the back up battery before the grid comes back on, we will be without power. There’s just no way around it with our system. So, all of this means that possibly you could go a couple of hours without power during your stay. It’s just the way of life here on island. ✌🏼
We are so, so thrilled to have this new system and hope you are too!
