    We do have a lot of wind most of the year, my neighbor gave me 2 wind power generators, but I need to get them and install them.

    I was saying that when it’s really rainy the clouds will block the solar, so I might need a gas power generator to keep my batteries going. We have only been here a few months so not really sure what to expect.

    Right now we are very light on power, the most power hungry is our portable iceco fridge that uses about 40w of power on and off. We have mostly rechargeable lights and phones, and my laptop that is USB-C to charge.

      Chest freezers are supposedly extremely energy efficient because cold air is denser than warm air and goes down, and as long as you don’t open the lid, it just stays cold.
