Introduction to a Small 108watt solar System

PLEASE NOTE: IT IS NOT LIKELY I WILL RESPOND TO ANY COMMENTS, PERSONAL MESSAGES, FRIEND INVITES, SINCE I HAVE NOT BEEN INTERESTED IN KEEPING UP-TO-DATE WITH MY YOU-TUBE CHANNEL.

Furthermore, I realize that my video may mislead people into thinking that they can run a TV, Amplifier, light, etc for long periods of time with only a small solar array. It has not been my intention to mislead anyone. My main purpose was to show that i could power such items if i wanted to, but realistically the battery can only sustain those items for 30 min or so, and depending on conditions. It could take DAYS to completely recharge the battery.




About my 108watt solar system. Inverter, Charger Controller, Battery, wiring. Up and Running for almost 2 years now. Altogether costing around $800 MORE DETAILS - (3)-36 watts solar pacific solar panels. Duralast Deep cycle battery 80amp hour@20HR. Manson PV charge controller Model #SBC-7120 12v DC 120amp input. Power inverter - Chicago Electric 1800watt surge 700watt continuous model # 91848. The larger system includes (8) 420 AMP hour/@20HR batteries altogether weighing around 960LBS. (3) charge controllers- Mark III/30, Trace engineering 2.5KW High efficiency SuperCharger/Inverter model #2524SB & model TS-45 Morning Star TriStar. A Mark III AMP/Voltage monitor.(12) Solarex 57Watt Solar Panels,(2)Sharp 140watt Solar panels.Altogether equaling about 1024 watts. And 3920 AMPS of combined battery power

solid coper wire is no good for DC current. Large multi strand cables should be used between you batteries and inverter.

@dleric

It's a simple solar panel system. I'm not going to use multi strand insulated wires on a cheap modified sine wave inverter, just to help reduce the possible proximity effect that will make little difference.

dont be so hard on yourself

it's not that crappy

[Microillusions]

LOL, well it could be better, thanks for watching my vid (:

I wouldn't invest in it until we have a battery revolution,ESLR has solar panels that produce watt<Dollar but power storage is still an issue.

I am trying to learn about solar power as I want to have it on my house and not have to pay the darn utility bills. However the cost is pretty steep to get solar installed etc. I also would like to have the solar because it was awful when we had a terrible ice storm and was without electricity for at least a week.

wonder if w w w diymagneticmotor com works well???___ some free energy ?

@Ozarkorganicshiitake Sorry guy, you are wrong... Why is your car all multi strand wire... Because electricity travels over a conductor, not through it.. Its not necessary for AC because there is little electron flow, but DC there is, its all about surface area. More surface area for those electrons the less resistance. BTW, where did you get your info. This is what I was taught when I was in college.

@Microillusions

Push the Caps Lock key, if that doesn't work, then you may need a new keyboard.

@dleric

Multi-strand = more resistance, why would that be better? Assuming that you use soldered connections, solid copper wins every time.

@dleric yes sir your right and im an electrician

[thisisme0214]

@dleric ok this wants me to make a new video of my shit bro i run my house and then some with 25 amps at 13 somthing volts and i seriously do run my house except for heating and air...i got a couple batteries from walmart and some i stole from an rv lol it works and i run shit...all day..440 watts solar looking to build hugh piggots wind turbine...im a 12 volter for now

[gpguy2]

@dleric Actually not true, use what you want to use. Solid wire is perfect fine to use with DC, the benefits of stranded is more apparent with AC power apparentsly. The biggest benefit of stranded is that it is more flexible and stands up to vibration better for example in cars.

These stuffs are sweet...

Thanks for the heads up about the first panels you've mentioned...
