We’ve been living without grid power for 13 days — and counting. In this video, I show how we’ve managed to keep our tiny home running using a small off-grid solar setup, strategic energy use, and a battery backup system. I also wired in solar panels of 400W + 100W to extend the time between generator runs.
If you’re prepping for off-grid living, managing long-term power outages, or just curious how solar performs during harsh conditions — this one’s for you.
👉 You’ll see:
– Our off-grid solar system powering a tiny home
– How I repurposed our van’s solar array for emergency use
– How we keep essentials running like a dehumidifier, toaster, and coffee maker
– Ways we’ve stayed warm and functional without grid electricity
– Why solar backup matters — especially when flooding and fuel shortages are part of the storm aftermath
