" cheap off grid power "
doesn't exist ... to create your own, either wind/water/solar requires substantial/significant outlay ... factor their costs into their funtional lifetime ... add on the buggeration factor, for all the occasions they 'play up' and don't forget the installation costs/infrastructure required to connect them, plus their maintenance and everything else that goes with trying to run this sort of system and compare it to flicking a switch - even after it's all jumped in price .... really??

I bought my genny for 3ph, as the cost of installing three phase was waaaay over the top ........ can spend a lot of bucks on cherry for £25k, even with the £2.5k the 168hr unit cost, I doubt I'll ever spend that at 4ltr/hr for the amount of use it gets ...
aaand you'll struggle to rig 3 ph. from batteries ................... and 'fore anyone says it ... private power generation is exempt from white ... and gonna have to keep a decent stock level
