I live full-time on a school bus with a family.

Flexible solar panels, LED lighting with open source drivers, and the new generation of DC refrigerators are all incredibly exciting and are allowing us to experiment with living without grid electricity.




Could you share pictures of the arrangements? I assume you gutted it out and did some clever interior decorating.


Soon. :-)

Building a simple static website and instagram. We'll share pics with HN soon.

We'll also have the bus at PyCon in Portland.


whats new in DC fridges?


We just purchased a Dometic 94 liter dual-zone fridge: https://www.dometic.com/en/se/products/food-and-beverage/coo...

It is much more efficient than DC fridges of even just a few years ago. It has configurable settings to respond to battery levels and can be configured via wifi.
