you are pretty closed minded to not see all the things the trailer can do and only look at the fact it was lunch time and i was hungry. I noticed you have no videos and no real contibution to this site other than 137 comments telling other people they are wrong, or stupid. I sell millions in renewable energy products each year, I post lots of fun stuff, you dont like...dont watch. Please post some of your superb videos guy, love to see them
oh, and why would you ask charge times for the solar panels "on really hot sunny days"?? heat has nothing to do with charge times for a solar PV panel, you are confusing it with solar thermal water heating panels bud
oh my friend 91 fatboy, you have much to learn, but thats ok, I am here to help you. Those are 200 ah batteries wired in paralle, so we have 800ah of storage capacity, the ac unit pulls 30 amps at start up, but then drops to just 9. We have run that ac in 100 degree weather for entire days! The solar panels provide 230 watts at 8 amps each and the turbine provides 500 watts at 8 amps. we have more than enough power to run for very long periods of time, but thanks for your concern
How long will 4 deep cycle marine batteries run the 5k A/C unit in moderately hot weather? (say 85-90 degrees f) 15-20 minutes max. The small frig, probably 3-7 days or more. Time to charge the battery bank with your solar panels that are on top? 3-7 days, in really hot sunlight... I guess? End result is your BoomBox speakers pull more current then the solar panels provide, given the square inches of solar cells you show and the size of the speakers. Where do we plug it in?
I know now that Maruchan noodles, a weiner dog, and the Who playing in the back ground, are the essential ingredients to making my Tiny off-grid house, complete and functional.
Do you connect your inverters directly to the battery, or run through charge controller?
(It is a cute and yet fitting display) I hope my Tiny house looks as nice as that when done. I'll put the batteries in an outside storage box, with the inverter. The weiner dog can sleep inside.
I can see you are not going to let this go. If we are going to be specific the ideal situation is to have the solar panels mounted on a rotating track that follows the optimal angle towards the sun but not only does he not need optimal sun exposure but for the purpose of demonstrating the efficiency of the solar panel a less than optimal exposure is best not to mention that this way he doesn’t need to put any additional thought into setup.
thanks, i usually make sure to take a good shot of a trailer or banner with my phone number and web site on it. if you watch even half my videos i think my number shows up at least 60 times. I will take your advice though and post it at begining and end of all videos too. thanks for watching
you are correct, but here is why. the charge controller in this unit can only handle 300 watts of solar, we put 2-230 watt panels on so that at any given time only one or the other is putting out full power. This unit also has a 600 watt wind turbine, so we have plenty of charging power. thanks for watching
I know there was limited space but having solar PV on both sides of the roof dose not make to much sense.
Probably a better solution is to get only single slope roof so you can take advantage of the larger south facing roof area and both solar PV get the sun.
@electrodacus Facing all the solar panels south produces the optimal result, which is what a fixed location home needs. However the demonstration trailer is not fixed and optimal results are not necessary. Most solar panels these Days can function in less than optimal results which is a factor that I would like to see demonstrated if I were buying solar panels which I figure is probably the reason why they put the solar panel on both sides.
@MrAnthonyRizzo See the answer he made on this comments basically he only has a 300W controller and 2 x 230W solar panels so he can not have both at the same time facing sun since the controller is to small.
But you can imagine that in this configuration when one panel face the sun the other will be in the shade and produce almost nothing.
I have solar panels and I know how much they produce in different light conditions.
Optimal the solar panel need to face the same direction.
@electrodacus If he can’t have both on at the same time then there was no need to tell him to put both on one side because he wouldn’t be able to take advantage of it. He showed how much they produce in its present configuration, which wasn’t nothing so their place on the trailer makes perfect sense since he can just park the trailer in any direction and still get power. By having them on one side he would have to reposition the trailer each time for optimal exposure.
@MrAnthonyRizzo Yes he can park with any of the side facing sun but he will get only half of the total power installed solar panels as not that cheap :)
@electrodacus Since, what you pointed out, “get only single slope roof…and both solar PV get the sun.” is unnecessary because as you also said, “he cannot have both at the same time facing sun since the controller is too small.” Then having the solar panels on the 2 sides of the mobile trailer makes demonstrations easier and more useful. He is after all trying to get people to see the range of their usage.
we sell these trailers if you are interested

You should put your phone number at the beginning and the end of your video and perhaps in the info section above.

Which way is south on a mobile display shed?
MrAnthonyRizzo 3 months ago
@MrAnthonyRizzo All panel should be on the same side so you can have them all oriented south or north depending on your location.
With the configuration here no mater how you rotated the mobile shed only half of the panel will work.

@electrodacus Facing all the solar panels south produces the optimal result, which is what a fixed location home needs.

@MrAnthonyRizzo When I made the initial comment I did not know that the controller was to small for both panels.
One of his panel is 230W and this at about 3$/watt probably cost 700$. I dose not make much sense to have two when you can rotate the trailer.
