What is all this Off Grid Stuff anyhow? And why the civil war over it?

Indeed, I have not seen what you are mentioning so much on Steemit but I am new here. I have seen an incredible amount of it on other forums.

Less on steemit, but there are a lot of passionate people here. Good sources of information though, a lot of practical experience. I hope maybe I toned them down a little, and made them see that even with the differences, they are kindred spirits.

How do you like this?

I like it. Maybe specify in that article that stranded wire is important to use. Otherwise...nice read.

Sorry, I always use stranded wire, never even considered anything else, my bad. We just made that correction, I guess, LOL! :)

Yeah it is an easy oversight. I often ask myself when I am trying to spread information: 'What about this am I taking for granted and would a child understand it?' I am in no way perfect at it all but I give it my best.

The last time I use solid wire, I stripped the insulation and made coils for an antennae tuner. :)

I avoid it unless I am doing AC power or just need to create a ground.

I use stranded wire on AC also, easier to pull through conduit. :)

That is a good tip to keep in mind. :) Thanks.
