DC = Doucette Creed; Built to Last Decades

The Outback Mate remotely monitors battery bank health.  This photo was taken at 6:00 am.  The freezer and fridge ran all night and only required 8 amp hours from the battery bank.  During the day the small off grid array will recharge the small loss.

Up close and inside the well insulated Sundanzer 5.8 Cu Foot Fridge...wow this baby is built like a brick house!!!!!!

Our DC load center is in full operation and SOLID as a rock..thanks to the other DC (Doucette Creed a/k/a built to last for decades) ..there will be a few tweaks over the next few weeks but we are now powering major appliances with the small off grid array.   The array frame,  foundation and center was totally redesigned by Rich Doucette, SDE, (Solar Designer Extraordinaire) from Freedom Renewable Energy.  DC = Doucette-isized cool.   My skimpy 2 x 4 frame that wobbled to a concrete pad with foundation that goes down 6 feet. The DC load center was totally redesigned with monitoring add ons...it's safe, solid and secure.

I now have transitioned from the DC 1.8 Cu Foot Fridge (Sundanzer) that ran temporarily on the Xantrax 1500 to a breaker that runs a 5.8 Cu Foot Sundanzer Fridge on our DC load center.   We are now running off of three 24 Volt 175 Sharp panels run in series.   I also plugged in a 5.8 Cu Foot Sundanzer Freezer yesterday that's running off the small off grid array also....YIPPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm monitoring battery stats on the Outback Mate, (a remote monitor) that runs from the Outback Controller and shunts in the DC Load center that monitor battery status with both loads, (Fridge and Freezer).    So far so good...it's wild...it's summer and the fridge and freezer should require more amp hours due to the warmer ambient temps in the house.  Yesterday with some cloud cover we kept up a 100% battery charge and used only 8 amp hours at night to run both appliances!!!  How cool is that???  WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
