The Solar Addict Blog<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hello there, I am Jesse the Solar Addict.<\/p>\n

Ever since I was young I have been fascinated by renewable energy sources. I mean, how could you not be? It sounds amazing to be able to continue living our lives the way we know it without leaving the earth worse than we found it.<\/p>\n

One way to do this is to produce electricity without polluting the earth further. Unfortunately, we\u2019re not there yet. Solar panels have issues with toxic waste and recycling problems, and so does wind and water.<\/p>\n

So what is the best way to produce power right now? Well, nuclear plants are great at producing electricity without leaving much toxic waste, but there aren\u2019t nuclear plants in every little corner of the world, and the material used in nuclear plants is non-renewable. This makes solar power one of the cheapest, most accessible ways for people to get into renewable energy.<\/p>\n

Do You Use Solar Panels?<\/span><\/h2>\n

I travel fulltime with my wife in our travel trailer, and we spend most of the time boondocking, which is when you\u2019re off the grid completely without hookups. We still charge our laptops, watch TV, use our toaster, microwave, basically all our electronics, and this is possible due to our solar panels.<\/p>\n

We have a 12V lithium battery that can hold 100Ah, which is enough power to last us a day or two, more if we needed. As soon as the sun rises, it starts recharging this battery and we can either use it while it\u2019s charging, or let it fully charge and use it in the evening. I am going to make a post about our solar setup where I will go into further details.<\/p>\n

I decided to create this blog to help share the knowledge I have gathered over the years. I am hopeful that others will find the blog and help me share their knowledge along the way. Feel free to leave a comment with either a question or your thoughts, I appreciate any improvements you can help me make, to make it a better, more accurate page.<\/p>\n

For now, thank you for stopping by!<\/p>\n

Review Units<\/h2>\n

Do you work for a company that makes and sells power stations\/solar generators and solar panels?<\/p>\n

I accept review units in exchange for reviews. If interested, send me an email: thesolaraddict at gmail dot com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
