TOOLS: Drill light squeeze clamp,C-clamp or vice grips Safety glasses tape measure wrench sharpie Components 45 watt solar kit http://www.harborfreight.com/solar-panel-kit-45-watt-68751.html (make sure to check retailmenot.com for a coupon code for 20% off) Roof Frames http://www.harborfreight.com/solar-panel-frame-mounting-kit-68698.html Direct mounts for Roof that doesnt need angle frames http://www.harborfreight.com/solar-panel-mounting-brackets-for-plastic-frame-panels-68687.html Inverter (we used a 2000watt Chicago Electric) here is a link to one similar to the one used in the build http://www.harborfreight.com/2000-watt-continuous4000-watt-peak-power-inverter-69662.html inverter to battery connection cables (you can purchase these or buy some cables from a truck dealership. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-ft-300-amp-inverter-cable-set-69537.html The battery terminal nuts,covers,and crossovers can be purchased at a Peterbilt or Kenworth truck dealership and the battery's also with the threaded terminals. NOTE:harbor freight sells batterys also that will work with the kit to.Here is the link http://www.harborfreight.com/12-volt-35-amp-hour-universal-battery-68680.html This battery should work with there cables they sell for inverters also. A battery charger is optional to buy for just in case you need to charge your battery's and it has been dark for days on end and you still have power coming to you home from the grid and can recharge them using a charger. Here is a one by harbor freight. http://www.harborfreight.com/2-6-amp-6-12-volt-battery-charger-45005.html The vent hose that we used for our battery's was purchased at Autozone and the part number for it was 50063 Armour mark 3/8 fuel line (we used 8 feet) but you may need more or less.Note: if you buy the harbor freight battery's they may need different ventilation options. The mounting screws and other things that we used on the Roof was purchased from Walmart. The brand is called bulldog hardware. They are listed below: Insulated staples part#NM-250 Long screws par# SM-85 QTY.2 packs needed Short screws part#SM-82 Rubber Washers part#NW-280 QTY.3 metal washers part#NW-57 Note while you are at Walmart I would encourage you to get a tube of clear silicone for the roof staples. This should be everything on the list we used. Hope you have fun with your project.May Master Yahuwah bless your efforts on your build.

nice setup, just seems like 45 watts is on the low side for charging two truck batteries
-
Do NOT buy Harbor Freight Panels. They are junk. After three years they put out one tenth of what they should. You can buy a 320 watt monocryastaline panel for $130. on ebay. They put out in indirect sunlight too. I have been Off The Grid for thirty years.
-
wait how do you get those batteries? what do you mean out of warranty and they will only charge core value?
-
Nice video. I just bought the same system from Harbor Freight and your video answered all the questions that I had concerning panel installation on the roof and battery information. Thanks!!

Hi nice video, kindly assist me on this one please,
I have a 130 WATT SHARP SOLAR module NE-130U1-12V (SOLAR PANEL)
Maximum Power (Pmax) = 130 W
Open circuit voltage (Voc) = 29.1 V
Short Cuircut current (Isc) = 8.2 A
Rated Voltage (Vpmax) = 17.4 V
Rated Current Ipmax) = 7.5 A
Maximun System Voltage = 600 V
Maxumum series fuse = 15 A
My questions are:
1) can I use a PWM 12 Volts charge controller OR which is suitable ?
2) Can I use an INVERTER between 500 WATT to 2000 WATT with it OR which is suitable ?
3) Can I use one single 12 Volts battery with it?
4) What fuse size can I use for the solar panel and for the battery OR must i use a fuse ?
5) Can I use car battery in place of a deep cycle battery ?
THANKS -
Strange that most experts say that Mono-crystaline Panels do better on cloudy days!
-
I don't think a 45watts kit will make you house be off grid, you need at least 4 panels of 250watts each.

Hello I'm Phillip, I have a channel you will love if you like solar. PS i just subscribed

No Fuses for the solar panels and the batteries? No cut-off switch for the batteries? No disconnect for the solar panels?
At least the charge controller came with fuses build into it, so at least the charge controller is protected if the charge controller overloads or shorts out. -
I made it myself thanks to inplix website
-
If you want to make your own wood tool yourself just look for inplix website. There is all you need to make it :)

Are you talking about air pollution?
-
please dont do any of this . not done nearly right , 1- use emt conduit to run the wire outdoor 2-use a raptor with black tar around it from water entering never run along your rain gutter inside the roof fold lol, 3- use gel batteries and bolt down panels with proper attachments on roof , also i would run a small disconnect in the line , im not a solar expert but common sense . getter done ;o;

Very dramatic intro cool. Good starter kit...

I owuld like to get 2 Renegy 100w solar panels and 4 batteries total, one of the batteries being the Stanley product seen in the link. You help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Anglers!
