Cooling Van Life With The Sun

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
We love collaborations! Adelaide Jones (https://www.adelaideed.com/) is a travel educator who splits time between her off-grid Sprinter van and $1M homes. Having already installed a full microgrid (solar array, inverters, and batteries), she came in to ask if we were able to run power to her new Mini Split AC. Come under the hood with us as we manage power, wire, refrigerant, & hardware in a small, mobile space.

EPro-To-Call:
You’ve got the tools and the willingness to solve your own electrical problem, but are held up by a couple ominous details. Rather than hiring out the whole project, get EPro’s own Joel Walsman on a video or voice call here: https://electric-pro-academy.square.site/
