Originally from UK, I have been living in this beautiful spot in a wooded valley in Umbria for over 30 years. I rebuilt the big old stone house with my own hands stone by stone from the ground up.
I now have the time to enjoy learning digital photography and #darktable. My photos are licensed under CC BY-ND 4.0. To view a copy of this license, visit https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/

35 years ago, when I came here, there was no electricity on site so I saved up the equivalent of a month's wages to buy a tiny 45W solar panel. Now after years of relying on the grid, I have finally managed to install a decent PV system. 4KW of panels. a 6KW inverter, and 10KWh of storage - and all for a cost comparable to what I spent all those years ago for that single 45W panel. Very happy to be finally self sufficient in electricity. #solar #solarpower #pv #italy

Over 30 years ago we were one of the first in our area to obtain a small PV panel. It cost a months wages and produced 45W. Now, for a similar amount of inflation adjusted money, we have just installed 4KW of panels and 10Kw/h of battery storage and have been independent of the mains since installation in early April. Yesterday we passed 1MWh of electricity production! #solar #solarpower #solarenergy #pv #photovoltaic #selfsufficiency

I met the culprit who ate all my winter cabbages whilst out on my morning walk this morning. At least he is looking healthy!

One of my favourite flowers is at its peak now - at least the ones that have survived being eaten by our population of hungry porcupines!

@fuzzy @knownasrose the background isn't sky, but a hillside covered in dark, still winter, woods.

@isagalaev yes it is, and porcupines love eating their roots.

@gimulnautti I guess you aren't in Umbria - at least we have a chance of a good harvest here!

@hannaB you're right. The progress has been amazing. (Each panel actually produces 500w)
