Simple Solar: DIY off-grid AC Power - Two Battery (90 Watt) system - runs a lot (w/power readings)
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Simple DIY Solar Power System. Off-Grid AC Power. Video shows many things you can run using a Simple Two Battery (90-100w) DIY Solar Power System. (wattage readings shown for most items) easy to set up. All items are widely available at local stores/amazon. cost to set up a similar system today; about $335.00 (plus cables and tax). rough breakdown of cost: $150 for 100W solar panel (100w Renogy panel shown in video - from amazon), batteries $75.00 each (walmart), $15.00 charge controller and $20 for a 400w inverter. To see exactly how to set this system up, watch my video titled, 'how to hook up solar panels (with battery bank)''. note that this video is a compilation of several other (13) shorter videos that i made a couple years ago, six of which i posted at the time (seven not posted). song in video is from youtubes "Copyright Free" Library. song title: Parasail.

This is a great video I liked :D. I have a 100 watt solar panel and a 500 watt inverter, just need to get a battery. My final goal will be to get up to 1000 watts to run a small window AC unit :D.

hi, i have a tiny solar system in my shed, but it uses a modified sine wave inverter.
Do you think this is a problem?
PS: love your video's keep up the good work!:-) -
Great video!! Can you make a video showing your main solar power system? Thanks
-
I see that you are only testing one electric/electronic item at a time. What is the maximum number items that you have been able to test and consistently run at the same time? I know nothing about solar energy and have been wanting to do this for some time. Great vid!
-
Maybe a dumb Q:... but can you add more panels/batteries to expand later (if needed)? I'm researching to build my own system.

Thanks! great vid...:)

i live in a apartment complex and the rules state that i cant have 12 volt batts for ovious reasons. could electricity be stored with super caps instead of batts ?

Nice easy set up , great video thank you

length of time things will run is just as important as if they will run! I see lots of people showing stuff running off of their inverters with a battery bank and panels attatched but to honest if it will run for a very short time before the batteries go dead and the panels will not keep up it is not what a person needs. How about showing the time stuff will run before the batteries go dead.

Where did you get your charge controller
