Solar Systems 3

The next acquisition was an refurbished Ecoflow Delta from eBay and a couple more 100 watt poly solar panels from HQST . We have used them til I fried the mppt in the Ecoflow. Now I charge it with one of my other systems AC.

We used the Sauoki power station for a while then acquired 4 HQST 100 watt solar panels, 2 HQST 100 Ah batteries, HQST 30 amp mppt charger and a Vevor 2500 watt pure signwave inverter these were mounted in truck bed tool carrier with a 10 gauge extension cord to power our microwave.

Mr Cheapo,

Thrift stores are your friend.
When we moved into our house we furnished it mostly from thrift stores. The only things we didn’t buy used were upholstered items like couches and our mattress.
We had bedbugs once and that is more than enough.

Hi Guys,
I’m kind of unsure of what to write about so I guess I will write about being cheap. My kids used to call me Mr Cheapo and I guess I was.
Growing up with parents who went through the depression some of that rubbed off.
