    The letters in your names(Tia and Andy) can all be rearranged as part of an anagram to make up "Vacation Days"= vAcaTIoN DAYs. Just some food for thought for a possible title intro. Liking your vids a lot :)

    The solar panel is bigger than I was expecting it to be. How exciting to get the power source up and running!

    • @TiaandAndy
      @TiaandAndy  3 роки тому +1

      It's _very_ exciting. Even at home, we've been trying to run everything off of our solar power by charging everything with the Bluetti (the giant power station)... It's actually having an impact for our power bill!

      We did a bunch of research and settled on this set up specifically for the versatility. It's worked out really well so far!

    4TH comment!!! Man... I've always been intimated by this kinda work, but you guys make it look pretty easy.. I might just jump into getting some solar panels later this summer now.

      It's our first time too! But we've done a few of these projects before. Our projects tend to be successful because we're minimalists at heart. And in situations where we are unsure, well research and rely on the experience of others!

    A roof rack looks like a good idea. We're tossing up whether to do this or not.

    • @TiaandAndy
      @TiaandAndy  3 роки тому

      We're running into a problem... Our solution is pretty custom so we're having a hard time finding commercial products that fit our roof! We've been looking for a bike rack solution but have come up empty.

    Solar inverter size? How many watts are you expecting in Ontario, average day? Size battery and is it a deep cycle? So many questions. Thank you for letting us follow your journey.

    • @TiaandAndy
      @TiaandAndy  3 роки тому +1

      YES KIRK! Ok. So we weren't sure if we should make a video specifically on the solar set up but since you've asked, we'll make this happen! But to teaser you, we have a 300w inverter. Solar hours in our part of the world is one of the lowest at around 2.2. Our battery is NOT deep cycle but it's 200ah. In our solar video, we'll go through exactly why we did what we did!
