DIY Solar Power
Are you ready to install solar in a tiny home?
Living in tiny homes is certainly not for everyone, but under certain circumstances they might be an advantage. For example in my case in which I need to find a solution to the frequent power outages in my area. We would not live there permanently, but it sure would be nice to have a tiny house haven to which we can retreat when the power to the main house is out.
What is a tiny home?
I am not sure there is a specific answer to this question. In my mind a tiny house can be anything from a hunter’s cabin to a small home for full-time living.
What I plan to do with a tiny home
Every year I see an increase in power outages in my area. This causes me to want to fix up a home generator. My water comes from a well so I need electricity for it. Fridge and freezer require it, as well as all my devices. Sometimes the power is gone for a week or so leading to spoiled food and the question of where to get water. I usually drive to the lake and fill 5-gallon jugs for toilet water and we have a Culligan water account for drinking water.

I’m still trying to decide if a small generator is more useful in the long run because we do not get that much sun in the winter.
