That setup sounds great. The system I’m working on putting together is similar to your secondary setup. I picked up most of the equipment after Huricane Helene when we had neighbors who were without power for a couple of weeks (we’re kinda lucky where we live that we’re about 200 yards from the local fire department and on the same trunkline so they got our power back within a couple of days), but I have around 1.6 kw worth of panels and 2400 Wh of battery. Have a cheap 500w inverter for now, but will probably upgrade when I can afford it.
Mine will also be entirely off-grid. Hoping to get it installed soon now that the weather is getting better. Spent most of these colder months working on lowering my power use requirements - like moving a bunch of services off my more power-hungry (~60w average) homelab/NAS onto a Raspberry Pi and another ARM SBC that combined pull around 7w.
At this point, I’m not going for being able to power everything through an outage. Just trying to have enough that we can keep some essentials and some basic comforts like lighting in the evenings. My roommate has some off the shelf Eco-flow batteries and panels that have been able to keep our small chest freezer powered, but A/C and water heating will be things we’d have to go without, and we’d have to move cooking outdoors until we can get our old fireplace/chimney remodeled.
The user who tweeted the take is a political commentator, or maybe influencer would be a better term. There’s a Wikipedia page about her that explains it better than I can.
Basically she rose to fame as an anti-feminist during Gamergate, but kinda also seems to have progressive views on some other topics which have given her a weird platform because basically no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re on there’s something for anyone to agree with her on, and something they’d want to cancel her over.
