Found it on Amazon. Here is the link
seems like a good option.. sounds like you have it handled.. for me personally i think i'm going to avoid the whole diy aspect and go with a more integrated approach.. kinda just a few of these types of things.. <em>https://www.amazon.com/Jackery-Generator-Explorer-SolarSaga-Emergency/dp/B08P2Q83BY/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3T5G9Q4MEYWGN&keywords=solar+generator&qid=1658900764&sprefix=solar+generator%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-6</em>
i have this thing
Bellman CX-25. I usually only use it for espresso but I have used the steam wand and it works just fine.
Cool, I've been doing some research and it seems like most of them require 20-30 PSI.
However, I just found one that "Starts with only 2 PSI of Water Pressure".
According to my research, I can get that much pressure by elevating the water tank 5 feet above the heater, does that sound right to you?
Electric heaters are efficient in that they convert almost all of the electrical energy into heat heat energy. The downside is that it takes lots and lots of electricity, so much so that it won't be sustainable with a couple solar panels and a battery. You really should consider something like a propane Mr Buddy heater.
For a little but of electricity this is probably about what you could get for 200 pounds
That only has 240Wh which is not a lot to be honest other than some LED bulbs and charging a phone. I don't know what kind of cooler/fridge you have but it would a challenge.
Bluetti, Jackery or others sell packages that would meat your requirements, just not your budget. Search Amazon for Solar Generator if you want something all in one.
If you want to build you can by a panel, charge controller, and battery, but you'd still probably be over 200 pounds.
I swear by this book.
Books don't disappear if you lose power or internet, and this one has so much stuff in it, you should be covered with most things that come up on a homestead
No problem! They are not so much "permaculture" focused, but more of a holistic view. If you want something on just permaculture, you might want to check out something by Sepp Holzer. He is pretty much considered the granddaddy to modern permaculture. If you are not already, I would also subscribe to /r/permaculture. It is a decent sub with some really helpful links. Sorry about not getting back to you sooner, I do not get on Reddit as much as some.
