Overview
The Hunting Cabin on the Coleman/Holloman property is "off grid" and currently only has Propane for heat and cooking.
I've been tasked with providing electricity via Solar so that we can have lights and do things like charge cell phones, and maybe run a small refrigerator like is in Mom and Dad's camper. Their Fridge actually runs on Propane, but it requires electricity (from their batteries) to operate.
Lighting
Lighting will be provided by LED light strips.

Solar
The idea is to provide electricity to the cabin via Solar panels with a Battery storage system. The hope is that the batteries can be charged during the week with minimal usage, and power will be available on the weekends for use in Lighting, Fans, Charging cell phones, etc.

Batteries
Propane
Water
Catch water run off from the roofs in Blue 55 gallon poly barrels. Link several barrels together so they all fill as one unit.
