I have built a new home competely off grid in southwest michigan. Ive been reading some of your threads and looking forward to joining in. I have been experiencing some lack of holding charge issues with my battery bank and was hoping to possibly clear some things up with the issue here.
Welcome aboard! Glad to have another Mitten Monkey join. Just finished covering the wood pile as the snow should be hitting your side of the mitten soon .. and that means it's heading here by this evening.

Just loaded the wood pile and covered myself, getting ready for the cold week ahead. Snow is coming down now.

Welcome Aboard, glad to have you join us! Plenty of very useful info here from a great bunch of folks! I cant do wind or solar power, both are too iffy, so I do Water and Steam Power, and am almost ready to "Pull the Plug" I also am working on Hydro/ Geo thermal, but honestly would rather just use it for the heat and not try generating power from it! It's a fun journey none the less!
