Had a talk with a lobsterman about solar panels and it changed my mind
Was up in Rockland last week helping a buddy fix his dock and this old lobsterman stops by to chat. He told me he runs his whole shack on two panels he got from harbor freight for like $200. Said he doesn't bother with fancy inverters or batteries, just runs DC lights and a small fridge straight off the panel during the day. I've always thought going solar meant dropping five grand and getting permits, but he made me realize there's a whole middle ground. Why do we always think we need the full system instead of just meeting the basic need? Anyone else scaled back on what they thought they needed?
