Good look at a back up power supply.
4 - 7 kw can be stored per day, power can run the essentials when needed for 2 - 3 days.
Cheap power stored at night is used to power the lights on a daily basis at peak times.

interesting setup. He has 222 videos.

I like the use of the different circuits. Power lights and maybe small device chargers on one ciruit. Rest of house on other. Have one or other or both drawing from the system.

I think in countries like ours there won't be outright power collapse to begin with but an increase in intermittent supply. You might only get power a couple hours per day. The outages getting longer and the times power is available getting shorter. These systems are good for that scenario as well as carrying forward the low tarrif power like he does.

I can't believe it's only 600 Quid. That was 6 years ago. I can't remember if he said how much he is putting on the batteries each day.

And it didn't take up as much room as I thought it would. The batteries were much less than I thought you would need.
