This is the start of a new solar project. I also give a brief overview of different solar panel technologies with their pros and cons.

  • Is that an XP8000 Energizer unit?

  • @kimdaviscali Hi Jennifer....yes, indeed it is. 73 Me.

  • Where do you buy these panels?

  • @Fekillix While I was in the USA I bought all my panels from Amazon.

  • Hi... Thats really cool. How do you connect the solar panel to the battery/inverter though?

  • @redefyne Thanks. Ok, the solar panel is directly connected to Energizer which can accept the higher voltage of the panel. I then connect the battery / inverter to the 12 volt output of the Energizer as it requires 12 volt to operate / charge. Hope that helps.

  • nice video. check out my channel i made a similar system.

  • @garyhgaryh Hi Gary, the 3 pin connectors I have came with the PowerSource. I think it will be difficult to find an aftermarket connector. I would suggest carefully soldering your own wires onto the pins with heat shrink and then use your own connector on the wires (Anderson Powerpole). Cheers, Martin.

  • @mjlorton Martin, thank you very much, that helps me out! I have a protech dc power supply which I'll be using to charge my duracell powersource. Problem is getting to those pins with the aligator clips I have. Are those aftermarket 3-pin connectors you have?

    Gary

  • @garyhgaryh I'd better clarify:

    Pin 1 (-) negative, on left.

    Pin 2 (+) positive, middle

    Pin 3 (+) positive, on right.
