May 2026 Energy Stats
NO DIESEL still haven't replaced the battery for the diesel.
Sadly my EV car high voltage battery failed (is awaiting new, bigger refurb battery and also a lubricant delete on the motor as a precaution).
Solar for the year (since late Feb) is over 1 MWh production.

Solar Production = 263.76 kWh
Wind production = 449.90 kWh
Diesel = 0.0
Total generated = 713.66 kWh

EV charging used = 88.50 kWh

I normally don't share YouTube videos (because fuck YouTube), but this one feels to important not to: https://youtu.be/mWkF2ZwpRyc

"Why the UK crushed the traveller convoys" read by Dicky Dread from the book he is writing
“The conflict was never simply about caravans or festivals. It became a wider struggle over visibility, land and who gets to live outside conventional systems.”

In this video:
– The origins of the traveller convoy movement
– Stonehenge, Beanfield and state confrontation
– How free festivals, ravers and travellers became linked
– Why alternative living became politically controversial

Being off-grid is not always just freedom and sunsets. The challenges are real. For instance, when something breaks — like the water pump — repairs can cost three times more than in conventional systems.

My journey in life and how I feel about Society and capitalism By Zajey

So I have all these solar panels (43 x 505w panels), it is finally sunny, a new fully charged battery 45kWh.

However I STILL can't use any of it as not connected up to provide the load of the #offgrid house.

The installation team are still wrangling with how the wind turbine and diesel fit into it....Oh Why !!!! Just give me my free power 😭

To top it off the wind turbine is not producing as calm day and the old lead acid batteries are rubbish and only have top 25% usable 🙄

Happy NewYear. Bei uns beginnt es mit Regen 🌧️.

Gestern noch in 24h Miner-Laufzeit 70kWh Strom in BTC umsetzen können - Heute bin ich froh, wenn die Grundlast von 400W vom Solar gedeckt werden kann.
