Darren welcome to the forum. Although many folks would undoubtably be interested your post breaches the non commercial not for profit ettiquette of the site and its creator. Please amend accordingly if you need further clarification please PM any of the admin / mods

Keep looking at the schematic and still can't fathom out the ECO part. Diesel generator, LPG heating, Crystal Right that requires constant supplies of salt to regenerate the water filtration. Or am I really just missing a bigger picture here?
Looks like a lot of hard work !just keeping upto it!Think I'd settle for a log cabin,log fire,n dig a dunny.

Its as eco as we can make it, the lpg is really only a backup and should never be needed if I run the system as I designed it to run, crystal right to pass regs and the genset to get around the British climate, any suggestions to eliminate these are welcome.
Thanks
Darren
I don't think it's a case of anyone needing to suggest how to not use items your using, more a case of you dropping the word ECO until YOU find a way
saying they are only for back up is a bit miss leading really
a bit like me saying I have a eco car that runs on sunlight, but as it's rarely sunny in uk, it also has a petrol engine for back up
Unfortunately options can be very limited when staying Off Grid. Solar PV has some pretty obvious limitations and generators may be the only way to go when a reliable electrical supply is needed. The term 'Eco' can be used to describe the most efficient way of doing something and this is always going to be a contentious topic of discussion.
My comment was more an enquiry into why this particular method or the reasoning behind these chosen technologies. Enquiring minds like to know as it is a subject I have a great deal of interest in.
Thank you Jus,
We have to live by what ever we can use, I know it is not ECO but we have to live, the kit is as ECO as we can make it and if we were not protecting the St Mary`s church we would not need to rent out our lodges to support the project which would cut our power needs down to the very minimum. I probably have not explained enough about why we have to use such un-eco resources, and you are defiantly right in the fact that they are not that ECO but as ECO as we can make them.
Thank you again
Darren
