That's a pretty realistic video, similar to our community. That is mostly Holmes County. The Lithium battery used here, hands down, is Millertech. Mostly our community solar panels are piecemeal, and you won't see them unless you look hard. Usually on the pitch of the roof of the washhouse or milkhouse. We have ours, installed by a local amish guy, on our garage roof. And we use Millertech batteries with inverters all over. And the Oepus solar generators, which are new things here. Our neighbors use the gas powered generators mostly. But they use solar fridges and freezers alot here. My cousin's daughter had their basement redone, and they have two "english" freezers that have been converted to solar, and also a large shelf area in the basement to charge all of their batteries to the different things they use. Mostly Millertech products. Propane is also huge here, and we have a propane whole house generator, and we replaced the old oven when it gave out here with the amish propane oven and range. It uses a 9volt battery to ignite the burners. Small engines are still used in the milkhouses for the milking machines. Most everyone around here is "off grid", but things still look and work "modern". We don't have to go out to the outhouse or anything.
