This workshop is aimed at giving you as much information as possible about Living Off Grid in Ireland – that is living with electricity produced by your own system and no electrical bill to worry about.
We'll be discussing and demystifying batteries, battery housing, cables, inverters and charge controllers, and helping you to analyse how much power you may need and how to achieve that with wind, hydro or pv.
Advantages of going off-grid will be debated such as keeping your carbon footprint low, keeping your energy budget low, independence etc. Also how you can go about doing most, if not all, of the work yourself safely and economically. We will also look at a small off-grid renewable system at Seed Savers.
