Off Grid CABIN gets a Power UPGRADE | Testing the MAXOAK Bluetti EB150

Over the summer, we published this video (    • What "Off Grid" Means to Us - The Cabin   ) explaining how off-grid we really are, and how things function. Everything from how we take showers, what we use for alternative lighting, power sources, battery charging, and how we provide heat in the cooler months. At the end of that video, we discussed the desire to move the cabin from being powered by a generator, to something solar based. Not that the generator doesn't work well for us. It's sometimes a hassle to go outside and start it up when you want power, and the noise from it at times, ruins some of the peace a quiet of the forest.

We were able to get our hands on a MAXOAK Bluetti EB150 Solar Generator, and paired it with a nice set of panels from Rich Solar. We had a week long trip planned to the cabin this fall, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to try things out! Mother nature however, had other plans. Out of the 7 days we were there, it rained at least 3 of the days, and was 90% clouds for the remaining days. We were still able to figure out a way to integrate the Bluetti EB150 into our lifestyle at the cabin - and we're absolutely loving the peace and quiet it's providing. Fully charged, our cabin only consumes about 20% of the stored battery energy per day - based on 4-6 hours of running lights and charging phones & camera batteries. We're excited to continue to work with this unit in the future, and leverage the solar panels more in the future - when the sun in shining 😀
