  • COOL VIDEO . GOOD TUTORIAL.AND VERY EDUCATIONAL .. ..

  • What gauge wires and cables are you using, and what size fuses and breakers are you using?

  • Excellent Video

  • Hi, everyone.

    Where online is the best source of this information in detail?

    Thanks.

  • Good video thanks for sharing.

  • Be very careful of moisture build up of any kind around the electronics in the equipment. A friend of mine had a system outside, it rained hard, ruined the charge controller because moisture got into it. So be careful about making the box with the controller & inverter protected from the elements yet ventilated. Those panels are like gold so put them under lock, or hide them when your away. Thanks fro sharing, nice work.

  • What's the overall rating of the system? 2kw? 1.5kw? 3kw?

    Also, do you just leave the panels on the stands when you're away? Are they just screwed on? When you install them on the building, what kind of security is there besides screwing into wood?

    One web site said the Deka batteries recently went up in price substantially. I'm looking at Trojan 105's. Poly or mono panels?

    Are you assuming this will be enough? I would think you don't need the vertical axis wind mill.

  • good video please make more

  • hope nobody steals your stuff while you are not there

  • how much did you get the inverter for
