Electricity – Solar Power
We are Off-grid which means No electrical power comes from outside the property. We do have several solar power systems on property which meet our current usage.
Please arrive with fully charged devices and a feasible plan to recharge as needed.
You are welcome to charge your electronics: phone, tablet, small batteries & power banks at the LongHouse ReCharging Station during the mornings and early afternoons when the Sun is Shining as long as we have extra battery power available - without compromising our Alvove Resident Stewards cold food storage.
The plan for the LongHouse solar power set up was initially intended it to be charging the batteries mainly during the week and using ithe stored power during weekend events. Our usage needs changed a bit when folks began coming out to be full-time residents using the LongHouse daily. We are in the process of upgrading our solar power systems again.
C-Pap & Bi-pap machines take more power than we normally have to share. Most likely our current solar system setup will not support this need especially during the winter months when it's overcast, cloudy, raining and/or snowing.
We suggest purchasing a separate small system to provide power at your sleeping area for charging/running your bipap & other electronics. You can get an all in one, plug & play system like EcoFlow, Jackery, Goal Zero, etc. They are really nice, work great and are user friendly. They can be recharged with individual solar panels, 110 outlet and even 12volt (vehicle).
