Installing Off-Grid Solar with my Dad

Originally a way to get my driving hours up, my dad’s business VRES – Valuable-Renewable-Electrical-Solar – had a recall all the way on the other side of Victoria. The trip was going to be great to add to my learner’s App, so I packed sandwiches and water to head on over to one of his recalled jobs.

Personally, I don’t know much – so my basic understanding of this recall was that something wasn’t installed correctly from one of my dad’s employees – and his guarantee is to make his customers satisfied.

We get to the destination which is on the other side of Victoria, and we meet Fred – who is the owner of the company 100up – which sell these strange red boxes I have never seen before.

He briefly explains to me these gadgets are in high demand; working to give costumers exactly what my dad’s solar panels do – renewable energy that is dearer in quality – yet slashes power bills to be inexpensive or near the cost of nothing.

Embarrassingly as my dad laughs in the background, I’m filmed by Fred to explain these Off-grid machines – in which I miss a lot of the important stuff that I didn’t know until know.

Such as how prosperously these new technologies aid health care facilities power their big buildings – without the expense for tax payers, remote communities can utilise Off-grid systems to demolish expensive powerlines, and environmentally less trees have to be cut down when the system is installed on households.

Together we shared lots of laughs – to finish off the hot day outside in the beaming sun with donuts.
