Off Grid Solar Brisbane

Having a solar battery system installed in your home can give you the peace of mind of having a reliable power source for your home. You can use the stored energy in the event of an outage, and it can even help you cut down on your energy bills. The storage capacity of your solar battery system can be designed based on your electricity usage and climate. In Brisbane, Australia, for example, an average four-person household uses about 4-8 kilowatt-hours of electricity every day, which means that your solar battery system can store enough energy to meet your needs for several days.

When designing a battery system, the first thing you need to consider is how much energy you need. Your energy consumption will depend on the size of your home, and how much power you need to power your appliances. If you have a large house or a high-energy household, you may need more storage capacity than a home with a small household. In general, you can expect to store about four kilowatt-hours of energy per square foot of your home.

In general, off grid solar Brisbane are designed to store enough energy to meet the needs of an average household for several days without the use of solar energy. Professional off-grid solar system designers recommend at least two to three days of autonomy in your battery bank without a generator. You can also have a backup diesel generator installed in case your solar battery system isn't able to produce enough power.

Choosing a solar battery system can be difficult. Depending on your location, you may have to install more than one battery. AGM lead-acid batteries are popular in off-grid solar systems. However, they are bulky and have a shorter lifespan. AGM lead-acid batteries can also be expensive. Batteries are also expensive to maintain. In many areas, the feed-in tariff is low, which means that adding a battery may not be profitable.

If you're considering an off-grid solar system, you need to do your research and determine your needs. Many off-grid systems can give you electricity for a few years before you have to purchase power from the grid. In many areas of Australia, you can even benefit from government incentives that will help offset the cost of an off-grid solar system.

There are several solar companies in Brisbane and other parts of Australia, including Off-Grid Energy and Hush. Hush can help you decide whether or not an off-grid solar system is right for you. They have experience in the solar industry and can provide you with a free quote from a local installer. You can also look at SolarReviews.com to find the best local solar companies.

Some off-grid solar systems also incorporate wind turbines. If you live in an area that has good wind data, a wind turbine may be a good option for your home. Wind turbines can be installed in combination with an off-grid solar system, or as a standalone solution.

Certified Solar specializes in providing solar energy and energy storage system installations for commercial and residential projects. We transform our clients’ energy needs by helping them drastically reduce and eliminate their electricity bills, aiming for the maximum return on each investment.

What is Cleansing? The how-to's and methods

The act of removing unwanted energies from a person/place/object.

Cleansing is generally a gentle form of removal, whether it be spiritual or mundane (can also be a very in-depth and harsh process).

Instead of forcefully removing an influence or spirit, you simply brush the energies out of your space.

This process is useful for ensuring that you, or the things near you are clear of energies that could negatively impact you.

It’s useful for creating a blank slate in your environment or preparing tools for spell work and keeping your energy stable and healthy. Negative energies and clutter can impact your spiritual, physical and mental health.

Regular spiritual and physical upkeep is important to keep you balanced and healthy. Spiritual hygiene is a generally important practice for all practitioners. I'm going to share a few ways to do so from my own practice.

Try your best to cleanse every room, not just a single room. Ever had a space so clean but the rest of your house feels gross? It'll be off-balanced that way and it'll be the same way spiritually. However, if you can't you can't. Do what you can, that's what's important.

Remember mundane cleaning is just as good as spiritual. You can smoke cleanse that room all you want but if you still have things all over your floor and molding dishes in your sink, that's still going to bring in both negativity and health consequences. Cleanse responsibly.

Spiritual

Sound - Using a singing bowl, bells, music, chimes, drums, clapping, singing, chanting. A trusty old sound bowl cleansing video on YouTube being openly played in whatever space does the trick just fine.

Smoke - Burning incense with corresponding herbs or herbal bundle. Remember to open a window for negative energy to escape and for safety. Smoke inhalation is generally not a good practice for your lungs. Also, be careful with pets as they have sensitive respiratory systems.

Spray - Infused distilled water with corresponding herbs, oils or salts sprayed around the room to both cleanse and bring in the desired energy. Again be cautious around pets.

Candle - Charging a white candle with intent, dressing it with oils and burning it down to clear your space. Keep away from pets and small children, burn in a fire-safe dish or on tile.

Sunlight/moonlight - Opening your blinds to let solar energy and moonlight to cleanse a space. Only really suitable for that singular space with a window.

Simmer pot - A boiling pot of water over a stovetop filled with intention filled corresponding herbal components that lets off a fragrance to clear the air of negative energy. You can use blessed water for an extra punch if you wish.

Crystal grid - Setting up a crystal grid of crystals for cleansing that room or your house of negative energy. You can either intuitively make your own grid or find one online. Selenite towers as well are lovely for purifying spaces along with being self cleansing. You can use any piece of cleansing corresponding crystal to cleanse but remember you will generally have to cleanse the crystal afterwards to get out any energetic gunk from it.

Salt - Putting out a bowl of salt in what room you’d like to cleanse. Personally I like putting little shot glasses of black salt in high traffic rooms such as shared spaces as I find it packs a punch due to its associations. However do please be careful with salt with pets. Pets have been known to get into things like salt lamps or salt in general and have had very bad health consequences. So please be cautious.

Energy - Your own spiritual energy. You can use energy work to create bubbles of energy around yourself to push out into your space, to burn up and cleanse the energy around the space. This is more of a hard-hitting cleansing method and can be described as banishing. It can also be energetically taxing for fellow spoonie witches or those with small energy reservoirs. Drink plenty of water, have a snack and rest after.

Physical

Vacuum or sweep - Sprinkle sea salt and corresponding herbs on the floor to soak up negative energy. Vacuum or sweep up and dispose of for removal. Historically speaking you move from the back of your house to the front so you can push everything out of your house.

Washing - Physically washing down doorframes and windows with sacred water (holy water, spring water, moon water) and corresponding herbs. You’d go from the back of your house to the front.

Floor wash - Try out a floor wash charged with the intent to wash your floors to fill your space with a spiritual purpose. Get that grime off your floor while reaping both mundane and magical benefits. You’d go from the back of your house the front.

Opening a window - Open that window. Not only will your space be less stuffy but it lets in needed fresh air. If you're in the city near fumes it's a bit harder. Try to get an air purifier if you can, it's very helpful and health-changing.

Shampoo’s and Soaps - For physical cleansing’s try finding herbal based soaps or shampoo with corresponding herbal components for self based cleansing and purifying. For instance I use shampoo with Tea Tree, Lemon and Sage. It’s purifying and I pair it with a Rosemary conditioner for protection. Get creative!

Cleaning products - Cleaning products with lemon for example have been used historically for cleansing and purification. Let the citrus scent leave your space feeling clean and purified with intent. Can either be naturally made with vinegar or store-bought. Either is perfectly fine. Sometimes natural and handmade is good but if you are someone who needs a bacterial spray, it's best to just buy storebought.

Recipes

All-Purpose Cleaner

What you'll need:

One part white vinegar

One part water

Dried Lemon rind - cleansing, purifying

Dried Rosemary sprigs - protective, healing

Combine the above ingredients together, pour into a spray bottle, shake, and then let infuse for a week before using. Strain out the lemon and rosemary. This is great for bringing in purifying energy into your house along with protective properties.

Caution: Do not use acidic cleaners on granite, as they will etch the stone and proceed cautiously on stainless steel. Some manufacturers recommend against using vinegar on their appliance surfaces. Know what's suitable and what's not.

Glass cleaner

What you'll need:

2 cups water

1/2 cup white vinigar

1/4 cup rubbing alcohol 70% concentration

Dried Orange peel - smells good and brings prosperity

Combine the above ingredients together, pour into a spray bottle, shake, and then let infuse for a week before using. Strain out the orange.

Cautions: Avoid cleaning windows on a hot, sunny day or in direct sunlight, because the solution will dry too quickly and leave lots of streaks.

Home Blessings Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner - Not for wood floors

Ingredients

1 cup distilled water

1/4 cup Castille soap

Dried Lavender buds - peace, relaxing

Dried Orange peel

Dried Rosemary sprigs

Directions

In a smaller pot boil together distilled water with the herbal components then strain.

Mix the ingredients and infused water with 2 gallons of hot water to incorporate in a bucket to mop away dirt and grime on tile, vinyl, or linoleum floors.

Remember, store-bought is fine. Look at the ingredients of what you'd like and use your intention. Sometimes making yourself takes up a lot of time and spoons. It's your craft, your rules.

Things They Don't Tell You, Character Intro: Allie

If you're reading this, I'm going to assume one of two things. One: the zombie apocalypse is over and our skeletal remains are left in this house. If that's true, then this should serve effectively as a historical document, outlining what life was like during the Fall. Two: the apocalypse is still happening and you're a fellow survivor who stumbled across this house and found our skeletal remains. In that case, congrats on finding the holy grail of houses! (assuming everything in here still works). This house is solar-powered and completely off the grid with its own farm, water, and sewage system. It took us a while to find it, so take good care of it. This book will also help you to survive if you need that. I've taken the liberty of pointing out discrepancies between popular zombie media and what we're dealing with now. I hope it helps.

-Allie

Character Intro: Allie (Alexandria). Skills: Scavenging, Climbing, Stealth, First Aid Weaknesses: Sociability, Being Vulnerable, Driving Pronouns: She/her Sexuality: Lesbian Weapon(s) of Choice: Pistol, Hunting Dagger.

Preparedness: Allie is, in one word, prepared. Before the Fall, she was an avid enjoyer of zombie movies, books, and video games. Her knowledge of zombie media helped her shape her survival plan long before the apocalypse actually happened, and it's helped her survive this far. Her parents were a nurse and an electrician, and both of them were very outdoors-y, furthering her ability to survive longer than most everyone else has. Although her parents are now both zombies, she scavenges alone and far from survivor camps, trying her best to eke by. Over the last several years she's made several weapons and supply caches hidden around the city, and although she doesn't have a permanent home she's well known by many of the more communal scavengers. Ok, let's be honest. Is she a little overpowered? Maybe, but I wanted to play around with a character that, through sheer chance, was totally prepared for the apocalypse. And since most of the story happens as internal dialogue, it'll be fine.

Loner: If Allie was going to be described in another word after prepared, it'd be solitary. Her avoidance of other people is due to a long list of things, but primarily it's due to to her autism. Although it's definitely helped Allie survive due to her special interest in zombie media before the Fall, it's definitely been a detriment when trying to engage with other survivors. However, since the destruction of Haven, the biggest survivor camp in the city due to people getting infected and not telling anyone Allie has distanced herself from survivor camps since and she's pretty happy that way. Until she meets Jessica, that is. A note here: I feel like I may be explaining it wrong, but essentially it's due in no small part to her special interest in zombie media before the Fall that Allie started planning her survival plan. I myself am currently being tested for autism, and I'm doing my best to portray Allie in a way that doesn't make a character trait or a oversimplification of autism and aligns with experiences I've had as a (probably) autistic person. If you feel I'm portraying her in a way that isn't authentic or misses something important, please call me out on it.

The List: The story is told through entries in Allie's journal, Things They Don't Tell You About the Zombie Apocalypse. Although the journal is written after the events that take place in it, each section is a new entry in the list of things that zombie media gets wrong. Allie is making this mental list throughout the story, and it's really one of the things that drives the story forwards. The list in Allie's head is comprehensive and thorough, and really one of the only hobbies she has time for while trying to survive in all this chaos.

So yeah! That's my breakdown of Allie! There's a lot I've glossed over here, from worldbuilding about survivor camps like Haven to the rigor with which Allie's found her weapons to what Allie actually looks like. Please let me know if I should make a part 2 of her, or actually write some sections of her journal! Also, I'm so sorry for not posting since like. Forever. A ton of things happened at once and I was able to catch enough of a break to post a new thing. I don't know when I'll be able to make the next post. I hope you enjoyed this one though!

Activon and its Fall - Actinium

cw: destruction of a whole planet

Activon was one of the FIRST colonized planets in this universe, and they were actually very advanced compared to what the history books tell them. They were wiped out by this force called The Great Reckoning (A solar flare knocked out their grid, and then they got "targeted" aka their planet got hit with rocky debris and asteroids, causing the planet to quite literally fall apart into pieces), and they decided that the best course of action was to take their stasis pods (cruder than other current stasis pods but it definitely still worked).

They put all of their younger population (from new adults to like 30 [in earth years/numbers] into them, ship them off while the planet and systems were still whole and powered with the emergency generators (they could only afford the larger facilities, not enough for that PLUS the houses, so they came together and decided on this). They sent off these pods to the spatial vacuum and jettisoned them out of the Activon atmosphere, keeping them in stasis until the pods found coordinates to habitable planets, where they then would land, open, and the person would be free to live the rest of their life there.

This was done to try and preserve what was left of the population Since there were few other Activon people left, though, the population became very diluted. Most of the stasis pods opened once they found habitable planets, but there were already other populations on it (ones that hadn't been properly colonized to form a planetary union but were civilized all the same), and they mingled and eventually became assimilated into that population, which increased their survival 100 fold

Which inverter is best for solar in 2024?

The best inverter for solar depends on the capacity of the solar panel. If you are looking for an inverter for solar then this article will help you find the best inverter for solar. So in this article, I am going to inform you about the best inverter for solar in 2024.

Benefits of a Solar Inverter

There are many benefits of the solar inverter. Some of the main benefits of solar inverter are discussed here.

Solar inverter technology provides energy independence, reduces the reliance on conventional power, contributes to environmental sustainability and durability, and lowers electricity bills. It also promotes clean energy and minimizes carbon footprints.

Types of solar inverters

Mainly there are 3 types of solar inverters which are available in India. On-grid solar inverter, off-grid solar inverter, and hybrid solar inverter. Let’s discuss them below.

1. On grid solar inverter: On grid solar inverter is a grid-connected solar inverter. It is dependent on the grid connection which means the electricity will be supplied through the inverter by the electricity board. If there is electricity available by the electricity board it will work, but if there is no electricity available by the electricity board then it will not work. The advantages of on grid inverters are that they are the most commonly used solar inverters that are adopted by customers due to its working philosophy, it will cut the whole load during peak hours in an office, no battery storage is required, no maintenance cost, and no generation loss.

2. Off grid solar inverter: Off grid solar inverter is a battery-based solar inverter. It is not dependent on electric grids, but it has a battery to store the excess electricity. It is installed in locations where electricity supply is less or not available. It can supply power in rainy or windy days. Off grid solar inverter is used for battery charging and load sharing with the availability of the PV system and feed load by the charged battery when there is no availability of the PV system.

3. Hybrid solar inverter: The hybrid solar inverter is a combination of both on-grid and off-grid solar inverters. It has multiple sources to supply electricity such as solar/PV, grids, storage batteries, and hydro plants. It is a complicated system in which synchronization is required between all the connected systems and loads.

Best inverter for solar in 2024

The best inverter for solar in 2024 is the “hybrid solar inverter”. As mentioned above the hybrid solar inverter is a combination of both on-grid and off-grid solar inverter. It has battery storage which can store the excess electricity for later use. The hybrid system works with the availability and the non-availability of electricity.

Conclusion

I hope you got the answer. If you are looking for an inverter then you should consult the best solar inverter manufacturer in your city. They will guide you and help you to choose the best inverter for solar.

Neo-Atlantis Codex: Part III: Grid Storage

So, you want to use some unstable form of power. Wind and Solar are the biggest ones, but we could also add tidal and microhydro to the list.

Currently, 95% of grid power storage, world wide, is pumped hydro. This is in theorygood, as it does work. The problem is that regions that can use pumped hydro will typically have geography to use regular hydro, which is very, very, very efficient. But you can add pumped hydro to an existing system.

For home power storage, we use chemical cells. Typically Lithium. By current estimates, we do not have enough lithium and cobalt in the world to replace our cars, nevermind the entire grid. A lot of the mining is also done by child slaves in Africa. They also use water leeching, which works. but also uses a LOT of fresh water. It's often done in deserts, in which fresh water is the most precious thing you can have.

Lithium is also EXTREMELY flammable.

What about other chemicals? Well, we can make chemical cells out of salt water and iron. This used to require a pump, and which made it hard to miniaturize. Anything mechanical is also prone to mechanical breakdown. They have recently developed technology to elimitate the use of pumps. It's still not good for grid storage, but would be good for home power storage. It might make sense to move to a paradigm that the state provides power when it can, and homes had to store their own power. This would work, although it would require a complete change of our paradigm, and would be expensive for the poor. Which is the problem for anything to do with power, as any increase in energy cost punishes the poor, and will drop people into poverty. It will also kill off the vulnerable.

Earth Batteries. You take something with a high durability and heat capacity, like earth, stone, brick, etc. You put it inside an insulated shell. You have a heater inside. Power added from the outside becomes heat inside. The heat can be kept for a week without too much loss. You can either use this directly for heat, or use it to heat water into steam. Doing so would allow it to produce electricity. This is suitable for neighbourhoods or industrial applications. The problem with a steam engine is that you would likely need a steam engineer, which are expensive. It would also require individual neighbourhoods to be self-governing villages/shires, which would help with so many other problems. We'll talk about this later in Neo-Atlantis government/electoral system. This would reduce the work required from other parts of the power system, and in theory, in some areas, these neighbourhoods/villages/shires/wards could be entirely self-generating. If California could shed it's horrifying Fascist control, it has more than enough sunlight that individual neighbourhoods could be self-generating if it could store the power. This would also prevent blackouts. Everytime I look back, it gets further way, but in 2003, the entire Eastern side of Canada, and the New England had a power outage. Because of how connected the grids are. Independent neighbourhood production would completely eliminated this. If you had a tree down over the power lines, it would hurt at most, one neighbourhood.

Compressed air storage. The best usage of this is, funny enough, CO2. You have a giant balloon, kind of an expanding membrane. You hook it up to a pump and a turbine and heat exchanger. Power causes the pump to pump the CO2 from the balloon into the tank. You release CO2 from the tank through the turbine, and it produces power. The big drawback for this is that it requires a lot of space. Which makes it perfect for isolated solar / wind power plants. This also requires nothing in the way of novel technology, and is perfect for large grid storage.

Hydrogen. Contrary to expectations, hydrogen fuel cells never went away. Both Toyota and Hyundai have production Hydrogen fuel cell cars. Hydrogen combustion cars are also perfectly viable, if not currently commencial. Hydrogen can be produced from water through electrolysis, though not efficiently so. It can be produced mechanically from natural gas / methane; the mechanical converters use a portion of the power they produce to power themselves. Before the government were... what?.. afraid the fuel cells might actualy work? I'm old enough to remember the promise of a Hydrogen Highway from California to British Columbia to allow you to drive hydrogen fuel cell cars up and down the coast. Well, they forgot about that. Before this happened, there was a research group that made it with algae in glass tubes. All you needed to do was pump water through them. People in California could probably add it to a closed system in their car.

Synthetic Fuel. Synthetic fuel has been used, in a small scale, in racing for years. Formula 1 is also planning to replace it's entire usage with synthetic fuel in the future, apparently from atmospheric carbon dioxide and wind power. This would have the advantage of requiring no time or money to implement. It would use our existing fuel infrastructure, while also allowing the small producers to be created everywhere.

Storing Solar Power on my ROOF!!!

Guy DIY’s a pumped hydro storage.  Pumped hydro is not just the best grid energy storage system we have, it’s the only one.  Over 90%, 95%, whatever, of world grid energy storage is pumped hydro.

Pumped hydro is kind of bad for household energy storage, as you would have to constantly adjust the flow, unless you had a computerized control, or something.  But for grid, it’s pretty much as manageable as fossil fuel generators, maybe even more so.

With voltaic cells, (chemical batteries), you can draw as much power as want, when you want.  The downside is they degrade every time you use them.  With pumped hydro, it would need to be maintained as well as plumbing.

Which is another reason to not put it outside your building, as it would freeze in the winter.

The parts are:

Water tank in elevated position.

Pump connected to power source, in this case Solar.

Generator, which is a fancy way to say Alternator hooked up to a Water Wheel.  How big you need it depends on how much power you need, but I worked at an oyster farm that uses about half a regular house’s power, and lived off a stream maybe double the size of what he is using.

Miscellaneous wires and plumbing.

Control valve.

That’s basically it.  He added a water cooling system that used the pumped water, and you might need a rectifier or something else to control the current, but yeah, that’s it.

Exploring the Pinnacle: Unveiling the Best Off-Grid Solar System

In an era where sustainability and self-sufficiency are gaining traction, the quest for the Best Off-Grid Solar System stands at the forefront of energy innovation. With an intricate blend of cutting-edge technology and environmental consciousness, these systems epitomize energy liberation. Let's delve into the realm of off-grid solar solutions, navigating through the intricacies that define the very best.

The Essence of Energy Autonomy

Off-grid solar systems represent an embodiment of energy autonomy. Off-grid, in its essence, implies a detachment from conventional power grids, venturing into a realm where reliance on fossil fuels becomes obsolete. These systems are a symphony of solar panels, charge controllers, inverters, and batteries – a harmonious integration that orchestrates a symphony of uninterrupted power supply.

Solar Panels: Unveiling the Epitome of Efficiency

At the heart of the best off-grid solar systems lie the remarkable solar panels. These photovoltaic marvels harness the sun's radiance, converting it into electricity through a dance of electrons. Polycrystalline or monocrystalline, these panels are an epitome of efficiency, designed to capture photons and transform them into a tangible energy source. Their strategic placement and orientation dictate the system's overall efficacy, making them the focal point of any off-grid setup.

Charge Controllers: Sculptors of Energy Flow

In the intricate architecture of an off-grid solar system, charge controllers stand as vigilant guardians. These electronic sentinels oversee the energy influx, meticulously regulating the voltage and current. By preventing overcharging or undercharging of batteries, they extend the lifespan of these energy reservoirs, ensuring optimal utilization over the system's lifespan.

Inverters: Shaping Energy for Utility

Inverters play the role of energy linguists, transforming the direct current (DC) energy generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity – the language spoken by our appliances. The best off-grid solar systems boast pure sine wave inverters, ensuring a seamless translation that maintains the integrity of the power, free from surges or fluctuations.

DA lithium battery for Eco Friendly RV

You’re in the right place if needed a much more Eco-friendly RV.

You wouldn’t throw the ice cream in the living room, Nor Key scratching the brand new car. We knows how to take good care of what we concerns. There is no different with our own planet, right? For those adventurers out there who want to preserve nature while enjoying RV life, here are our favorite eco-friendly RV tips.

Your Eco-Friendly RV – Tips & Tricks

Yes, you can indulge your RV wanderlust and go green at the same time. Here’s how:

Reduce on Fossil Fuels

You probably know that RVs are heavy on fuel. This is neither environmentally friendly nor good for the wallet. Since the average diesel RV only gets 8-14 miles per gallon, it’s imperative to maximize fuel efficiency. Try these RV tips to reduce gas:

Go for a smaller vehicle. If you’re in the market for an RV and want to minimize gas consumption, opt for a smaller Class C motorhome, or even a Class B van. The bigger the rig, the more gasoline it consumes.

Stay up-to-date with maintenance. Small tweaks can make a huge difference. For example, keeping your tires properly inflated can improve fuel consumption by up to 3%. 

Change to bio–diesel fuel.  Bio-diesel is a renewable, biodegradable fuel made from animal fats, vegetable oils, or recycled restaurant grease. Not currently available at all gas stations. But it’s growing in popularity, and you can use this handy online tool to find alternative gas stations near you.

Press the accelerator lightly. Slow down and enjoy the scenic route. By accelerating less and maintaining a moderate speed, you save fuel. The best speed for an RV is 55 to 60 mph.

Travel light. Only bring travel essentials. Dead weight will slow your RV down and cost you more fuel.

Pro Tip: Switch to lithium RV batteries and reduce hitch weight by up to 70%. The weight of ion lithium RV battery is 1/2 of lead-acid battery with the same capacity.

Charge Your Gadgets With The Power Of The Sun

Most of us use a ton of gadgets every day. Think cell phones, laptops, cameras, and more. Since they all need to be charged, why not reduce energy consumption and use solar energy? After all, solar energy is a completely renewable energy source.

By calculating and armed with solar panels, inverter&controller, most important with our stable and security DA lithium battery pack, You are allowed to charge your gadgets from anywhere. Whether you’re staying in your RV or backpacking in the mountains for the weekend, it never hurts to have solar power at your disposal. Even better, charging your devices with solar power is better for the environment.

Try Your Hand At Dry Camping Or Boondocking 

Dry camping and boondocking are some of the best ways to make your RV eco friendly. They are also fun! If you can ditch the connection for a few nights, you’ll be rewarded with open spaces and starry skies, especially for the rednecks out there.

Just because you’re off the grid doesn’t mean you’re necessarily going to be uncomfortable. With high-efficiency household batteries, you can still power essentials like water systems, lighting, and ceiling fans. But not just any battery will do. You need a reliable and energy-efficient power supply to power your weekends.

With our trusty 12V LiFePO4 battery, you can forget about electrical connections and enjoy nature.

Pro Tip: Use the 12V lithium battery (series or parallel connection) to charge and power your lights, fans and pumps, even when you’re in the middle of nowhere. Lithium is the best RV battery ever for boondocking as it is efficient, reliable and environmentally safe. 

Switch to Smart, Energy Efficient Lithium Batteries

You can make a huge leap toward Eco friendly RVing with this one small step: switch to lithium RV batteries. Here’s why:

Lithium is toxin-free. While lead-acid batteries may be the cheapest option for an RV, they’re not the greenest. They contain harmful substances, including sulfuric acid and lead. This is why they require maintenance and must be stored properly to prevent spills from contaminating the environment. Lithium batteries are a safer, smarter, environmentally friendly RV alternative. They are non-toxic, non-spillable and recyclable. You can even store them indoors.

Lithium is smart. Lithium batteries are smart batteries because they have a battery management system(BMS) that prevents overcharging (and subsequent damage). They could also access to your phone via Bluetooth. With a few taps, you can see exactly how much energy is left and the statements of every single cell’s healthy.

Lithium is more efficient. Lithium batteries support charge @100% efficiently, while lead-acid batteries charge @85 % efficiently. You can use a smaller and less expensive solar setup to charge lithium than you can charge a similar sized lead-acid battery. Because of their efficiency, lithium battery packs run out of power much less frequently. This is important when you need to use limited power wisely, such as when you’re boondocking!

Quick Tips for Eco Friendly RV Living

Cutting down on fossil fuel use, staying off the grid, harnessing solar power, and switching to smart batteries are all major ways to turn your home-on-the-go into an Eco friendly RV. But here are a few more RV tips to help you go even greener:

Use enzyme-based tank cleaners instead of chemical-based cleaners for your RV toilet.

Switch out basic bulbs and replace them with energy-saving LED lights. 

Use reusable, lightweight plates and utensils instead of disposable plastic and polyfoam.

Conserve water by bringing your own water filtration system and using the water around you. Install a water-saving shower head to reduce waste. 

Leave no trace! Take everything you brought to the campsite with you when you leave.
