Off Grid Water Heater using EG4 Batteries
This video discusses how I can still have hot water even running 100% on solar. I use the Rheem hybrid hot water heater (40 gallon). When there’s not enough sun I use my EG4-LL batteries to power it. The EG4 batteries are awesome. I definitely recommend them for anyone who wants back up power or is going off grid with solar.
Here is the link that will take you directly to where you can buy these EG4 Batteries. Don’t forget to use the discount code Brian101 to get $101 off orders over $1,000.

Here’s the link to Sol-Ark 15k inverter I have. By far this is the largest and most feature rich inverter. You can also use the discount code Brian101 to take $101 off of that as well.

- ShopSolarKits.com – this company sells my exact off grid solar system (except I have 6 batteries instead of 4). Make sure to check the Sol-Ark 15k box to get that inverter (it’s much better than the 12k version). This system is awesome for both off grid, and if you want to remain connected to grid as backup power in case of many cloudy days run your batteries down. Below is a link to that complete system. Use the discount code BRIAN101 to get $101 off orders over $1,000.
