Howdy Edward,
I'm not trying to "run you off"
...but, have you looked into any solar or off-grid forums?
Like:
NAZ Solar Electric Forum
Interesting idea
...keep us "posted" as to your progress, if possible

Hi, not yet, I'm also interested in electric cars and I'd rather keep to one active forum, this one looks really good but I will take a look, thanks.Howdy Edward,

Also I'm set on using Tesla or similar car batteries because I have a decent supplier of batteries and support here in Romania where I live. As an English guy that's pretty important for me.
Well I'm glad you mentioned that, if you pay people by the hour for work they have an incentive to bill as many hours as possible, not to actually solve the problem. Anyone who's dealt with a lawyer will know this. I've put freelancing programming jobs online, got responses, given them work that I can find on Github for free to write (as a test) and they've quoted me $5k rather than just be honest. I've also tried giving them a very simple job I can do and they still quote insane rates.
So I'm trying to solve this problem for the whole community, I want to solve this issue wherever members of the community working for the community is involved, what people do outside the community is up to them. We're building a community of likeminded but independent people so we want to cooperate on power/energy/fuel, healthcare, food and security and I'm starting on power because I already have a small system on my house and I see the potential.
We've got the land, I've got one builder on board, we've started on our first cabin and I have I guess 10 people directly interested at various stages of getting involved. So this is a bit of a social experiment, traditional company structures don't work because there's no fair way to share the proceeds with all the contributors and they're crushing for people who want or have families and a balanced life.
In terms of the equipment required for constant service I know what's needed, how much redundancy you have is a matter of money, you can just have a big diesel generator at the end of the day but these need service, test running, maintenance etc. but it's a good solution if your main system and backup all goes down at the same time.
Anyway thanks for replying, all feedback welcome.

You are on the wrong forum, and many people on this forum don't want cars and solar interspersed. I'm on both types of forums. Check out DIY Solar Power Forum, or Second LIfe Storage. Either will do you well. And, check out Salvex in Houston for sales on off-grid power plants.Howdy Edward,

Aw...come-on now, FWIU many EV folks also, have Solar (or inspire to) in their lives too.
It just makes sense, you can lower your electrical costs (bill) by powering your home, with solar
...& then, "fuel" your vehicle, at home
Also, if the "power" ever "goes out" in your area
...you should still have power (from your solar battery bank)
...& (if equiped) you can also extend the "range" of your homes "power" by drawing from your EV's battery pack
* The sentiment I think your referring to is the fact that the Solar folks have gravitated toward re-purposing used OEM EV battery packs, rather than Lead
...& this (& let's face it other "current" economic factors) has increased the cost of & the availability of used OEM EV battery packs
** IMO Remy was just (in his own way) reminding the OP that "that concept" has been tried many, many times
...& as far as I know, they never lasted very long (kinda like Commun-ism)
Are there any still around? (& Chinese, forced Communism shouldn't count)
