Off-Grid “reference” article in the Club Magazine

Having remembered that they had a "Did you Know?" circle at top right of this article about practical advice and a wealth of expert information. I had a look, I could find nothing on solar panels, off-grid or non ehu. Are they having a laugh! or is it just me Mr Thicky who can not find any useful info because I'm not an "expert"

If their ‘experts’ show as much enthusiasm for new and innovative ideas as the editorial department,  there won’t be any expertise John simply because the subject has not been explored- or perhaps they can’t imagine anyone living off grid-?  it simply isn’t done old man! How does one cool ones champagne?  - perhaps they should employ me as an expert on Off Grid living? Pigs might fly!!

You don’t need EHU for a computer (I guess you mean laptop). We’ve just spent three weeks off grid perfectly able to charge laptop, phones & tablets and use a hot brush. 

...and if you buy your gas at the right place it's 60p (or less) a litre at the pump instead of £2+ a litre (£25 for a 6kg (12 litre) Calor) for bottled gas.

with cheap gas powering your heating/cooling/hot water needs, and solar energy charging you computer, running your lights, TV, water pump etc, you can do as Merve and others do and plump for small non-EHU sites which give a substantial saving allowing those upfront costs to be quickly recouped......

...of course, it also gives you a much wider choice of sites, THS and other rally type events.

Both clubs do the same every year . just something to fill the mags .

Just looked at another post ,this months magazine . Did they press wrong buttons ?

Whatever they did derekcyril, they wasted their time! 

Good post BB. As you say, this is exactly what I do and now with the lithium it’s raised the bar not just a bit. 300w on the roof, now able to use all the kit on board (microwave, toaster, vacuum etc) without damaging the battery. Well worth having when you do what I do. I have owned my lithium for just over a year and already recouped £600+ in not having to use EHU sites. At least I’m doing my bit to try to save CLs from closing!! They would have had such an interesting article- you can lead a horse to water........🤣🤣

Merve, According to a BBC programme, graphine is going to be the next wonder substance used for battery construction. Check out the last 10 minutes of BBC4's programme "Revolution" the ideas that changed the world shown last week. If it proves so, it will be amazing

Will do mate! Thanks for that. I wonder how near they are to it being commercially viable?
