Much sun. Closest grid is 20 miles away. Wish it were farther. My serious and very important to me question is: Can we have a real refrigerator/freezer with ice maker? Doesn't have to be huge. 16 cubic feet would be fine. We are spartan by nature and don't require a lot of juice in general. But a real fridge is a huge quality of life issue for us. I really like the the pot in pot cooling. Looks like a good way to store semi perishables long term in an otherwise harshly hot climate.. potatoes or medicine for examples. A system buried in the earth with top access could take advantage of the lower temps just a few feet below the surface. Even on humid days a small fan would give you lots of cool for little electricity. But what about a real refrigerator? Do people do that? Thank you.
