Bienvenue Tas d'bois
I'm certain this eco stuff in your parents' cottage will interest people so don't hesitate to describe it more deeply. I'm living in a rather sunny place, so your experience with solar panels and batteries in such high latitudes and low temperatures interests me. I just discovered that a fridge can work on propane.
Even in a 2 bedrooms apartment there is lot of things to do (electricity, water, cold, heat...), so don't hesitate to pick up ideas. I'm certain you'll be helpful, per example you know better than us how to protect your house and yourself against cold.
Le bonjour au Père Noël
Denis.
