Welcome to Guildbrook Farm

Guildbrook Farm is a modern homestead in the foothills of Appalachia. We take our audience along on a journey to become more self-reliant by growing our own organic produce, raising animals for dairy and eggs, preparing food for long-term storage, and building off the grid renewable energy systems. In 2017, we moved to raw land where we are building a debt-free energy efficient and disaster resistant ICF mountain home. Join us as we learn to live a simple, sustainable lifestyle.

DIY Off Grid Solar: System Overview and Powering Up (Part 5)

We are building an off-grid solar clean energy system from scratch. In this video, we cover the main power center, including the MagnaSine Inverter/Charger and Dual MidNite Solar Classic 150 Charge Controllers. We show you how our system is wired, backup systems, and take you through the power-up sequence. This is Part 5 of a series on building a DIY off grid solar energy system.
