What is the cheapest way to store energy when off-grid?
This is part 4 of my series on Solar Thermal vs. Solar PV to electric water heating. We all use hot water and it's cheaper to make it directly and then store that thermal energy.
I discuss making a thermal battery. This is a concept of storing your hot water for several days in a well-insulated tank. Sometimes called thermal energy storage, or hot water storage. I use my own tank as an example. With the knowledge of how to calculate it, you can make your tank even better.
I'm passionate about finding the most efficient and cost effective ways to produce your own energy using renewable sources. Couple this with storing that renewable energy and we can go off-grid. Disconnecting myself and family from the power company is my ultimate goal.
There is a lot of math in this video, which is fun for me. I hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching.
