Been totally off grid since '89. My only water source is cloud juice from my roof. (no well) I compost all of my bathroom waste. (no septic) All of my electrical needs are supplied by Mr. Sun! I survive on 512 watts of panel and 4 golf cart batteries, 2 propane fridges and a wood burner. I use a propane cook stove but use the wood burner during the heating season.. My system is totally 12 volt except for the very few items that require 120v.a.c. now and then. NOTHING full time requires a.c. power. Lighting, pumps, entertainment, ect. operates directly from the battery. I do convert voltage for a few items, like my 74" projection TV/DVD system and my laptop. (Both at 19 v.d.c.) I convert to lower voltages to supply my micro stereo systems on my porch and the hillbilly surround sound system on my bedroom TV/DVD. I'm located in East Central Ohio so if you want to see a real off grid situation, stop by and watch the chickens chase the free range rabbits around the yard.. ;)
