Introduction to a Small 108watt solar System
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
PLEASE NOTE: IT IS NOT LIKELY I WILL RESPOND TO ANY COMMENTS, PERSONAL MESSAGES, FRIEND INVITES, SINCE I HAVE NOT BEEN INTERESTED IN KEEPING UP-TO-DATE WITH MY YOU-TUBE CHANNEL. Furthermore, I realize that my video may mislead people into thinking that they can run a TV, Amplifier, light, etc for long periods of time with only a small solar array. It has not been my intention to mislead anyone. My main purpose was to show that i could power such items if i wanted to, but realistically the battery can only sustain those items for 30 min or so, and depending on conditions. It could take DAYS to completely recharge the battery. About my 108watt solar system. Inverter, Charger Controller, Battery, wiring. Up and Running for almost 2 years now. Altogether costing around $800 MORE DETAILS - (3)-36 watts solar pacific solar panels. Duralast Deep cycle battery 80amp hour@20HR. Manson PV charge controller Model #SBC-7120 12v DC 120amp input. Power inverter - Chicago Electric 1800watt surge 700watt continuous model # 91848. The larger system includes (8) 420 AMP hour/@20HR batteries altogether weighing around 960LBS. (3) charge controllers- Mark III/30, Trace engineering 2.5KW High efficiency SuperCharger/Inverter model #2524SB & model TS-45 Morning Star TriStar. A Mark III AMP/Voltage monitor.(12) Solarex 57Watt Solar Panels,(2)Sharp 140watt Solar panels.Altogether equaling about 1024 watts. And 3920 AMPS of combined battery power

Commercial Solar Panels are Expensive.
If you want to power your house cheaply
Simply Go to Google and Search for:

it has the plans and explanation there. -
and CB radios :) great!!!

@Ozarkorganicshiitake Sorry guy, you are wrong... Why is your car all multi strand wire... Because electricity travels over a conductor, not through it.. Its not necessary for AC because there is little electron flow, but DC there is, its all about surface area. More surface area for those electrons the less resistance. BTW, where did you get your info. This is what I was taught when I was in college.

@dleric yes sir your right and im an electrician

@dleric ok this wants me to make a new video of my shit bro i run my house and then some with 25 amps at 13 somthing volts and i seriously do run my house except for heating and air...i got a couple batteries from walmart and some i stole from an rv lol it works and i run shit...all day..440 watts solar looking to build hugh piggots wind turbine...im a 12 volter for now
-
@dleric Actually not true, use what you want to use. Solid wire is perfect fine to use with DC, the benefits of stranded is more apparent with AC power apparentsly. The biggest benefit of stranded is that it is more flexible and stands up to vibration better for example in cars.

These stuffs are sweet... Thanks for the heads up about the first panels you've mentioned...

Sweet

Nice little starter system .... I recommend A better solar panel, battery and controller... in line fuse for the positive off the solar panels as well.... should also add a 125 fuse at the inverter for safety.These day you can do it cheap but with quality as well. I have a lot of Off Grid folks that I work with and it is always about the budget so I have always tried to find the balance of Price and quality. PS my son really like your closing music!

Almost 150,000 views. Thats a lot of intrested,interesting people that love what you are doing. Dont be so hard on yourself. We can figure out run times for ourselves. Every little bit helps..
-
solid coper wire is no good for DC current. Large multi strand cables should be used between you batteries and inverter.
-
can you use car batteries?
-
Lawl, Light into more light.... solar cells to the TV....
-
Thanks for the vid
-
My house is surrounded by natural energy sources like a river, alot of wind and sun, how would you use these 3 elements at the same time for electrical power? and how much would it cost
-
they labeled polarity in REVERSE!..a good laugh lol... Neat setup- thanks for the post.
-
I wouldn't invest in it until we have a battery revolution,ESLR has solar panels that produce watt<Dollar but power storage is still an issue.
-
Nice system, check out mine.
-
Well done demo. Your camera was fine, but you need to place the microphone away from direct airflow from your mouth when speaking, or use a windscreen to prevent that popping sound! Otherwise, this video gave great details and understanding of solar applications! d=)

i want your solar power system!
