Oh that is what my system is missing. A bag of chips!
-
Hmm.. I want to make a youtube video. Perhaps I should check the weather. Nope. Let's go with the most windy day I can find.. thumbs down!!
-
so what all can you run with that set up
-
I DIDNT SEE ANYTHING PERTAINING TO YOUR TYPE OF BATTERIES ON THE LIST
-
is it me or can anyone else not hear this
-
How cheap was that though and what can that exactly power in a house hold.
-
could have done wind power
-
what type of items do you power up with this system and use in a 24 day charge?
-
Dumbass, when it's really windy COME BACK TOMORROW!!!!!!!
-
if you are going to be doing a lot of electrical work, the jewellery is not a great idea.
-
Thank you to every1 who has been explaining that i had made a small error with the connecting of the wires. I have since done some more research and now relocated the wires so that the invertor and solar charge controller are connected across the entire array of batteries.
-
you can build home solar power system with INPLIX
-
Where is the cost ?
-
Nice video and thanks for taking the time to put it together. The only thing I would say is at that cost for the solar charger you should be able to purchase a good MPPT controller.
-
you did not wire inverter or charge controller to the battery bank the best way... you should wire positive of both inverter and charge controller to first battery in string and negative of inverter and charge controller to last battery in string.. that make load draw and charging as equal as possible through string..

ебать вы всетаки пиндосы дураки во бляяяя......
-
your positive fuse terminal in the battery are very close in the negative terminal very dangerous.!! waste of money it must be a deep cycle batt.
-
yep lonerguide is correct power should come in on one end and go out on the other end that way the batteries are always equalized when they charge and discharge from all batteries at one time
