My friend has a Cabin that is totally "off the grid" in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
He has 2 Propane Generators (primary and back up) that power his 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1100 sq ft prefab Steel sided cabin.
Has an 80% propane heater and a VC Intrepid II for Our heating pleasure, so no worries there.
He is kicking around the idea of either some type of solar or wind generated system to supplement electrical use while the generators aren't running.
His budget is $4,000 total for an inverter, batteries, solar panels, turbine, etc.
Does anyone have some ideas of what can be done for this amount?
Where does one even start?
I appreciate any advise.
Thank you, Hiram
