Living off the grid is a very unique experience! Only those of us that have actually tried to do it, have any real understanding of what it takes to make your own power to support the electrical things you need: Lights, Refrigerator, Radio, TV, Internet conductivity, just to name a few. Most people learn quickly that running a generator every-time you need one of these is Nosey, expensive, time-consuming and no fun! By adding a battery, Electricity can be made with an inverter, instead of the generator. Then by adding some solar the generator time can be reduced!
