When more power is required there is a quiet 3000watt generator with a charging system for the batteries. The batteries are integrated into a 3000-watt inverter system, which produces the 110volt power to the house. Propane is used for the washer and dryer, the water heater, cook stove and the oven. The water system consists of two 2000-gallon water tanks that collect the water by catchments from the roof, which is then strained before it goes into the reservoir.
