Not today but I recently bought 40 acres of offgrid land.
Goal is to eventually build a homestead, maybe move there. Took the pic today. Not exactly electronics related but figured I'd share.
A bit more electronics related, very recently also bought a 3kw inverter which came in today. It's from Amazon so it's a big gamble, I'll have to put it through some stress testing.
I kind of need a 24v power supply to drive it, so I also bought 4 golf cart batteries:
The charge controller I have can do 12 or 24 volt so will just be switching everything to 24v. Might rewire the solar panels so they're in series, but I might be ok with them as is.
It may seem ass backwards but the inverter and batteries will be for my shed as the current solar system is kind of just thrown together on the floor not even properly wired. This new one will be properly wired in a nice cabinet on the wall with a small sub panel and designed to also act as backup power for the house once I run a feed to a separate panel inside the house too. The old system will be going in the black box below which is a portable system which I'll bring to the off grid property. Basically to charge power tools, chainsaw etc when I'll be working there. Once I actually have something built then I may swap the systems around or at least the inverters. So in a way putting that inverter in the shed will be a good way to test it and if it works well I might even just buy another. They have good reviews, but kinda have to take that with grain of salt on Amazon.
With all this spending lately I can't afford a haircut. :p
