I don't even own a home, and watching this video has me thinking on what my System will be. Amazing video.

Thanks brother for being thorough this is my Achilles heel so it's much appreciated, my understanding is much better just from your video I forward to your other content. I am refurbishing a 26 foot camper into a semi self-sufficient all purpose dwelling and a Strategy to recover from a divorce and foreclosure to get my life and assets back to a more future proof reality. Keep up the great work, more people need this content now than many realize. I get pulled into projects all the time. Blessings, peace be.

Thank you for doing the leg work for something I've been trying to figure out and wanting to budget for this year. Thank you for the information and all you do to research this for us!

@cityprepping It's like you went and read 90% of my comments I ever made and decided "I'll make a video for this guy"😂

I just ordered the Ecoflow Delta 2 with 2 220W solar panels. I’m stoked on this set up as I just want something that would keep our chest freezer going with ease for at least 24 hours. I have the California sun to keep this unit nice and charged throughout the days. Thanks for all the helpful information, City Prepping!

Nice. I will be going with the Pecron F5000LPF when it's released as I'm currently using the F3000LFP as my entry into solar and power shedding.

Went the Apex 300 route (x2) when they were on Indiegogo due to price and portability. I can run my whole house or throw the whole setup in my truck and take it with me.

The biggest hurdle for me is navigating the permitting and fire code. Here in MA, even though DIY, you need to file a permit and figure out the fire code before you put one of these in. The utility requires an interconnection agreement too, even though it's just a behind the meter system. <br><br>So much for being DIY.
