  • Witch one is better the tri metric 2020

    Or the digital display for my xantrex c35

  • @jonathans1212 I recomend both your display on your charge controller is real time info and your trimetrik is your gas gage. They make much better units now I would look in to it. I hope that helped.

  • Hey I have a 12v battery and based on what I've heard 6v golf cart batteries are the way to go I only have about 100 watts of solar but can I have 2 golf cart batteries 12v and 1 12v battery until the 12v dies then have only 6v batteries

  • @jonathans1212 Yes you can if your charging source is large enough. If you are cycling your batterys it is not a good idea. That is why I have a switch to keep my battery banks seperated. Remember bird of a feather flock together.

  • I bet I've watched this video 20 times. I absolutely love the details that you're willing to share. I have 1 question. I want to get about 300-400 watts of panels soon. I've been experimenting with the little small 10-15w units. In your opinion, what brand/model/etc of panel would you recommend a new solar user start with?

  • @deanlisenby It depends on UL listed VS non. I like the SUN panels from sunelec . com the prices right now are great. Kevin

  • I've noticed your friend "Yankeeprepper" has two words within his limited vocabulary .. bullshit and god .. at least my 5mins invested in "YP" found your site. I've been off grid since June 1996. Thx for sharing with the masses. N...XP

  • Amazing you rock, I've just started on my path of solar and wind power. At the end of my journey my system has to produce 50 kilowatts a day.

  • Great video, No wonder so many Liked it. Subscribe to my channel if you like SOLAR ENERGY. Happy Holidays Everybody.

  • That must have been expensive. Panels, turbine and all the inverters, batteries, charge controllers, wiring and switches? How much would u estimate the total cost to be.

  • this is the best system I've seen so far

  • Wow I am impressed you do very good neat work , i want to build a system like that like it very much

  • @OBXSOLWIND ok but what is a good one
