Join us in PART 2 of the series, as we answer every question you would have in creating your own DIY off grid / grid down solar back up system. In this second part we look at choosing and sizing batteries.

great series bub, production, information provided, and humor to boot. question: did you do some sort of studying on video production cuz its purty darn good, just saying you don't seem like a jo-blow who decided to pick his camera up one day and start making videos.
-
So i made it too . just by using inplix scripts:)
-
are those types of batteries dangerous for indoors?

admin i have a question plz help me out i recently installed 5 KW off grid solar system every thing is working just fine,i hired some one to do it for me so i am not an expert but i do travel alot i always have my lap top on me which always run out of charge so i thought why not built a smaller solar system that can only charge my lap top.
i have 50 watt solar panel and i just acquired a 100 watts 220Vac invertor,my lap top total power consumption is around 50-60 watts 220 Vac.i don't know plz tell me what Amp/hour battery should i use if lets say i only need my laptop to work for only 3 hours?i need one that can start charging my lap top right away during day time in emergency situation.plx guide thx. -
great to see that... I made it too. Using inplix handbooks :)
-
This is a awesome and detailed video. Thank you for putting the effort into sharing your knowledge.
-
well to buy all this stuff in norway ill need to spend about 5500 usd on the panels(6 260 w panels 6 235 Ah 6v batteries and the electrical stuff houff that is expensive XD
-
can you make your own batteries ?
-
I am pretty sure you can find good solution on inplix webpage :)
-
very good video, question: what do you think about Tesla batteries?
-
great video, I love solar and I really want to know more about it thanks for sharing this video..
-
thankz 4 d vidz bro....
-
Is there any advantage of using a (6 volts or 12 volts )batteries bank ?
-
You get one Golf Car battery for 120$. Those might be more efficient for what you are using it for, but I prefer car batteries. 30€ each, they charge slowly through the Solar and discharge quick when I make a coffee.
-
awesome
-
What are the terminal sizes for the SLI GC 125 batteries?
-
Why did you use four 6 volt batteries instead of two 12v?
-
You should take instructions from inplix website if you want to learn how to make it easily.
-
So, your system in 24v =234 AH. Easier to convert to 120v but NOT the 470AH in a 12v configuration.
Which system, 12v or 24v, is quicker to charge & which set up lasts longer (with the same power usage)? -
I am trying to copy your system with adding the 100 watt panel to what I currently have... if u have done the math correctly I shouldn't have to change anything... even the fuse sizes should be good. please verify this is correct...
also I am having difficulties finding the square d outdoor load center box. the link you provided is no longer working and there are so many of them on the site and they all seem to be over kill for this will any of them work or is there something specific that I need to look for... hope to hear from you soon... I plan to order everything on Wednesday feb 17
