Hang around, this place has activity every day. This is the slower season due to winter but it wil pick back up. Many on this forum are off grid so know what they are doing.

Hi Jackee.
There is just something cool about passing a magnet over a coil of wire, that you make, and producing electricity.
That alone is amazing, IMHO.

Welcome to the forum
Also , do not be afraid of making mistakes and failure, some of the best lesson are learned from those.
Like this Solar panels that I hadn't gotten completely secured in the rack and "thought" it would be ok.

Even tho this is an older HF 15 watt solar panel, it was still working and I should've known to not leave it unsecured  :(.
A recorded 67mph wind gust took it out of the rack and bounced it against our solar dehydrator.
Live & learn.
