Since we started in November 2009, our off-grid installation has progressed in a number of steps.
Nov 2009: Generator only
May 2010: Add batteries and inverter/charger
May 2011: Add solar panels
Oct 2011: Add thermal store
May 2012: Add load controller
May 2013: Add proportional controller
May 2014: Add monitoring and optimization
I’ll blog about these steps one at a time, starting with the generator.
