  • Can you believe it's been three years since we embarked on this off-grid journey? Well, guess what? We've hit a major milestone: solar power is officially up and running in our Geodesic Dome! Finishing the build of our Eco-Worthy Solar Tracker system marks a major step that we completed in making our off-grid lives that much easier. Since we left the city to move off-grid, life has been going at a pace of our choosing. Learning to appreciate every moment and accept things will come in their time. Those things have finally arrived as we can now harness the power of the sun to make our lives more comfortable.
    So, kick back and join us for a laid-back glimpse into our off-grid life. From setting up our solar tracker system from Eco-Worthy to checking in on our buzzing bees and hunting for morel mushrooms in the woods, it's all here, raw and unfiltered. Because hey, life off the grid may not always be glamorous, but it's real, it's honest, and it's ours.

    Finally, solar!!! congrats! I'll like to suggest something now. Since it's spring time with summer temps It would be wise to go get y'all some black out curtains to hang up in front of y'all's big window , so to keep out the sunlight and heat during the day and to keep the Dome cool. Look for the curtains at thrift stores and good will stores. I know you will do good this year in growing you garden, Every year your garden did good and with each year it gets better. What do y'all want to get done next? Oh yeah need to start cutting up dead trees for fire wood every time y'all come across a dead tree. You can never have enough fire wood for the winter.Well can't wait to see what's next. Have a good week.

    • @OffGridGrowing
      @OffGridGrowing  4 місяці тому +1

    hi there, my name is Armando. I did a collaboration with my channel with Ecoworthy and they send me the same solar tracker. Now they told me that the actuator that moves the structure East to West should be mounted on the west side and not the east (seems that because of some feedback they made this change but not on the paper instructions). So...for me the system works, I don't have any particular problems. Switch side for me means pretty much uninstall everything (not looking for). I saw you mounted the actuator on the west side, is there any huge difference? Seriously I wonder if there is a difference before to take down all the system and pretty much reinstall. thanks

    • @OffGridGrowing
      @OffGridGrowing  4 місяці тому

      Honestly I'm not sure if there is a difference.. I have only had it mounted on the west side so I can't really speak to how it operates mounted on the east. Does it track the sun ok?

      @VivereInCamperMacchitelofaffa 4 місяці тому +1

    • @OffGridGrowing
      @OffGridGrowing  4 місяці тому

      @VivereInCamperMacchitelofaffa I think it's less stress on the actuator to pull instead of push.. I honestly did thevsame thing at first because the directions were not clear. I took it apart and redid it.
