My Tiny House Free Energy Off Grid Solar Shower System

I have been showing with the free power from the sun. I have a DC shower pump in my bathroom shower stall which is powered from the energy from the sun through solar panels. And I use the sun to heat up hot water for my showers. All for free.

Many of you will remember my DC powered shower in the tiny house on wheels. I received this as a gift in the mail a while back from one of my viewers. I use this all the time for showering because it is so convenient.

It is installed in my normal tiny house shower stall.

I use a Coleman camp shower to heat up water using the energy from the sun. This is basically a black bag which holds 5 gallons of water. It has a shower head and a tube running out of it. Normally you are supposed to tie it up in a tree and use is as a self contained shower.

But I use it to heat up my shower water and then pour the hot water into a bucket in the tiny home bathroom.

The water gets up to about 120 degrees F after three hours in the sun. This is hot enough that you may have to mix it with some cold water for you comfort. I generally take my shower after the sun has gone down a bit and the shower water has cooled to a comfortable level.

Now I have a fee hot shower all the time.

I still have the propane shower system which is good for cloudy or rainy days.

It feels good though to be showering with free energy.

Follow my daily progress on the path to self sufficiency on my off grid solar homestead.
