I would be afraid of fire or explosion.

Victor. It’s works in DC😩

More concerning is the Dish on the Roof! This is 2023, Streaming is the only way to go..

Propane tanks are NOT allowed in The Villages

Not sure those tanks are >10ft from the neighbors windows.

Those tanks are 125 gallons. I should know I have one for my garage at my lake home in Minnesota. The setback IS 10' The setback IS a national standard.

Generarc
 

Why don't people buy the all electric Generarc? My dad has it and it powers the whole house for almost 2 weeks. No noise. No impending explosions, no unsightly tanks.

Could you try speaking with your neighbors prior to filing a complaint? Maybe they don't know of any better way to ensure their survival during a power outage.

We should be helping each other!

It seems like the outside dimensions of a 120gal tank and a 125gal tank are the same. Perhaps there is a difference internally. Perhaps the tanks are the same but by law they can only be filled to a certain level if they are within 10ft of a home.

I believe whoever installed those tanks (assuming the homeowner didn't bring them home in the back of his Mazda) would know and respect the local codes. But the OP has already been provided with a simple solution: contact the VPSD for their expert opinion.

How do these propane tanks release pressure from heat. I’m asking only because my 20 lb. Propane tank is hooked up to my grill & I keep it in garage, yea that’s stupid too. Knock on wood I’ve stored my grill in my garage for probably 40 yrs. But I agree with you propane tanks are bombs, just waiting to be ignited.

Would love to see a link for that! Got to be one heck of a stack of batteries!

Sure looks like it is for the generator in front of those two. When you lose power once every several years you might wish you had one. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s for medical reasons. Of course some one may be running their online business from their house. ???

Is that written down anywhere?

Not as big as you might think
Generac Power Systems - PWRcell

Love it!!!

Be careful removing that fish hook.

Thank you.

So for $18K I can get a 9kWh system installed. For somewhat more ($40K?) I can get more batteries and have a 36kWh system. According to my last SECO bill I use about 40kWh/day. So my $40K investment will run my home for most of 24 hours - then I'm out of luck. This is much less then two weeks.

If I didn't use AC or hot water it would last for much longer. If I didn't use AC or hot water I could get by with a 2,000W Honda generator for about $1,500.

The PowerCell with the solar panels might be a great way to save money but it doesn't appear to be a solution for a long-duration power outage.

OTOH: Since most (all?) of our outages are short, even the $18K version ought to be able to ride through one. I might look into that!
