Power Shed

OK, so what's a power shed?

In this case, we're building a small block enclosure to house all the components of the power plant we are using to run the various electrical systems on our ranch. You may wonder how complicated something like this can be. After all, aren't we all accustomed to just plugging into an outlet and flipping a switch?

The building serves multiple purposes:

• a barrier to the sound of our portable backup generator
• moderate protection for our equipment from the sun and weather
• a roof on which we can mount solar panels
• a mounting location for a power distribution panel
• space for meters to the house and office so we can accurately allocate power usage for each of them
