September 08, 2019

In this Episode:

The long dark NZ Autumn and Winter of 2019.Aotearoa means Land of the Long White Cloud and we live up to that with high % cloud cover, including fog and only handful of sunny days.We may be on track for what may be the lowest recorded sunshine hours whilst I've been off-grid relying on solar power.

Without much sunshine, the back up generator was used. I talk about the frequency of use, expense, a few instances that occurred.
