Hi. My name is Nathan. I am currently in an Architectural Engineering Program in Kamloops BC. I am doing a research project on finding the best way to power an off grid cabin located deep in the mountains in northern BC. I will be looking into different kinds of green power. Feel free to comment on anything. Thank you.

Thesis? Your comments would be Nice:)
Thesis:
How can one replace a fossil fueled generator to power an off grid horse ranch located in far into Northern BC?
I believe there could be some improvements in the wording of your thesis. ".... off grid horse ranch located in far into Northern BC?" wouldn't it be better as ".... off grid horse ranch located deep into the northern part of British Columbia?"
Sounds a little broad to me. What the most efficient system to replace... What is the most cost effective way of replacing... What systems could supply as much power as a .... I think you need to be a little more specific on what your trying to accomplish.
Hey Nathan, I actually knew a guy when I was young that did exactly what your researching. He bought a lot way out in the bush near South Slocan, BC I believe and he lived completely off the grid. I haven't talked to him in about 12 years, but I'll look into getting his contact info if he has any lol. He may have become a hermit out there for all I know. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.
Thanks Bryan. I appreciate The help. It would be nice to talk to your friend. See if he was able to make a Successful off grid cabin. The website link you gave me is pretty sweet. I took a little peek into it and it looks like a lot of useful information. Thanks again Bryan.
Hey, I found this set of youtube videos that seem to be pretty good, let me know if they help. I watched the two after this one too.

Hello again,
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to a good forum dedicated to small cabins off grid. There should be a lot of contacts to be made here. Hope it helps.
