Winter off-grid living isn’t always sunshine and solar power! In this video, we share the reality of relying on solar energy during freezing temperatures and cloudy days. With shorter daylight hours and low solar output, having a generator as backup power is essential to keep our off-grid cabin running smoothly.
Watch as we explain:
✅ Why solar panels produce less power in winter
✅ How freezing temps and cloudy days impact our system
✅ When and how we use our generator to supplement solar power
✅ Tips for maintaining power independence during harsh winters
Living off-grid means being prepared for the unexpected, and having reliable backup power ensures we stay warm, cook meals, and keep essential systems running—even when the sun doesn’t shine. If you're considering off-grid solar, this video will help you understand why a generator can be a crucial part of your winter setup.
