Solar Installation and Power On - A Deep Freeze Comes ALIVE on the ...

VIMEO VERSION (in case Dtube doesn't work)

We've had this deep freeze lent out to another family for a while and now we are going to put it to work on the homestead. Up until now, we haven't had a way to keep things cold other then lowering them down into our 19th century well or just buying ice in town each week. But now we are hoping to make our own ice and keep certain food items cold. This will come in real handy when the family milk cow comes into season.

Zac walks you through the entire setup process. It's really quite simple.

It's really simple but it can seem intimidating. Especially when you think that you're dealing with electricity and electricity has been known to kill people who do not handle it safely. It can also be intimidating when you think of the cost of the components. The Midnite classic being used in this video retails for almost $700 on Amazon and if you hook it up wrong or don't pay attention to the instructions, you can fry it and that is an expensive mistake. But learning and researching and adhering to instruction will save you a lot of grief and mistakes.

So here is our installation of the small homestead deep freeze with a new solar array.
