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.
