This is an older video, one of the first produced. This system has had many revisions since this posting. Please feel free to visit my channel page. On my channel I've cataloged a playlist of over 100 videos demonstrating aspects of DIY solar power setups.

  • Would have been a good video but you zoom in and shake the crap out of your camera so much I threw up at 2 minutes.

  • @thegbpackers284 This was done in a hurry. Channel playlist has better videos explaining solar power. Camera skills were lacking at this point. Ran the video thru the stabilize, should be better. Thanks for stopping by.

  • id lose the baG EVEN SOLID STATE NEED TO COOL ID FIND A N OTHER WAY TO MOUNT THAT THEN THE FLOOR THE REST LOOKS GOOD THANKS FOR THE VID

  • @911hiker I've since then changed this setup. Watch my more recent videos.

  • do u have skype or vent or aim? i would really love to talk to you about this! right now i am in need of assistance!

  • @eliden This is an old video showing pre packaged solar kits. Contact a reputable professional solar installer.

    This system demonstrated in this video has had many modifications made to it since the time of posting.

  • @arnoldcustom I would rather go with a greater number of lower capacity batteries than fewer higher capacity batteries. If a battery dies, it's cheaper to replace a lower capacity battery. you also get less reduction in your capacity while you are without the battery. If you go with two 6 volt batteries and one dies, your screwed until you can replace it. Also, marine or scooter batteries are easier to find locally than big heavy solar batteries.

  • all these vids are good for learning

    ive picked up loads of good tips (and how NOT to fry myself).

    thanks for the vid !!

  • 2 proper large 6 vold solor batterys that weigh 120 Lbs each would give you far more power storage then all those AGM batteries, each 6 volt battery cost 289$ each, fare less then you wasted on all those short life AGM's, don't get me wrong AGM batterys are great when used for the right use, for more info contact me, we have many renewable energy batteries

  • Like stated previously, electrons flow on the surface of the wire. You would benefit by swapping to stranded wire over the bar. Also it is amorphous.
