I'm an EE too, would you believe! No, actually that's a lie damn it! ๐
My bro is an EE and graduates as a nautical engineer this weekend too so I have some expertise around I suppose, he lives 4,500km away though - That's the issue.
It sounds like you have some great plans and a great spot! I'm not jealous at all...OK, that's another lie, I am. Seriously though, I'd love to do something like that but without the technical expertise it means paying people and that means money. I'm a millionaire though...Yep, lying again...I'm not a millionaire and so only have so much available. I have got some skills though and we do what we can, when we can.
Who knows, maybe one day my brother will come back and together we'll get something happening on this front.
Find the dirt, and I will help walk you through it. I will be posting as I build, it is not too hard. Building the battery might be a little extreme, but the rest is just wiring up modules.
You will need panels, charge controllers, battery, and output inverters. I plan to use 24 volts to reduce the DC current required to run the inverters. But 12 volts is the most common voltage, and it works fine. I plan to run AC from my system, so voltage efficiency is more important to me.
Get it close, then invite the brother to come visit....

Hope you know, I won't be stopping by to help...ROFLOL! But the coaching offer still holds....
I do like Australia a lot, I was thinking about moving there; but they lost me when they outlawed firearms. I still would like to come and see the Meteor Crater you have there, what can I say I AM strange, LOL.
The new Pastor we hired is coming from Australia, he will be here in about a month. I like his sermons, I'm glad he is coming; it should be interesting, I can learn Aussie....
G'day mate!

Not outlawed bro...I have 15+ (Rifles, semi-auto handguns, shot guns)...Certain calibres are restricted (like 50 cal) but are still available, and semi-auto rifles are restricted to those with a purpose for them like professional culling shooters. A recent post.

I don't know where people got the impression they are outlawed. I shoot weekly, for sport and cull ferals on a farm...
I figured you didn't realise I was in Australia, so thought I'd mention it. ๐

The news stories on the buy backs and crushing of truck loads of nice guns. I still like Australia, LOL! And I like your post on long range shooting a lot.
You coach me on long range tips, and I'll help you on power....

Yes, they crushed loads. It was due to the 35 person massacre at Port Arthur. I'm posting about that on Sunday.
I have loads of cool posts on LR shooting. If you want I can send a few links. Let me know and I'll post some this afternoon on the comment you make.
Deal, I can teach ya! ๐
