    I’m assuming you mean petrol/diesel, but depending on how much wind you get and power you need, you might be about to use wind or some kind of gravity fed.

      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.

              Yea, it’s been super nice. Mine can be powered by 120V AC or 12-24V DC. I’m using the 24V DC so I can still use the 12V outlet on my BLUETTI for other things. It’s been working great.
