This panel can put out close to 100 watts th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
Finally, a man who doesn't have to say scientific terms to explain a difficult process. This guy is a genius.
Hi Levy, thanks for your comment! ShopSolarKits tries to make solar as accessible as possible. We're very glad you found the video helpful!
why genius? in 1975 I'm build same device with germanium transistors, there 50 pcs was given about 9v of DC, so Ni-Cd batt was charged and pocket radio was play very well. to make something else - electricity free, this is genius.
@@leonidshafir7008 Where is your channel. It sounds difficult to understand and you have to break it down to simpler terms so that we can understand why we should deem your invention as genius.
What are you talking about? Electronics language have language like medecine- if you know you can talk. I HAVE MY CHANNEL , BUT MAKE EXPLANATION IN OTHER MANNER.
@@leonidshafir7008 Small dick energy.
After all the time I spent searching through TH-cam for someone to explain this process to me, eventually this young man
has made it so easy. A big well-done!!
Teaching is a gift. No every one has the gift to pass on knowledge.
I agree
When I come to YT looking for help, this is the kind of video I want to see. Thank you so much!
I all want now i know miss
I have watched many videos on installing solar panels and I've always been just as confused at the end as I was in the beginning.
But, for some reason after watching your demonstration video, I think I finally get it.
You kept it simple, step by step, explaining it simply so I could understand it.
Thank you very much.
I'm super happy for these straight,perfect and step by step explanations for the connections.Good job!

Greetings all the way from Papua New Guinea
Just Subscribed! It was great speaking with them and very nice team! I'm new to the solar panel world, and thankful that there are enthusiasts who already making it easy to understand for us!
Appreciated!
Thank you!
You made this easy enough for me to understand. You're a great teacher, thank you!!!
It's the first time I understand😃
glad to help :)
Thank You, very helpful for a grandmother to try. Never done anything like this before but willing to try!
@@ShopSolarKits what is the size of your battery and its brand name
There's a billion TH-cam videos about how to setup a basic solar system, this is bar far the best, straightforward one I've come across. No technical terms, no rambling on with fancy charts or diagrams. Just straight up, this is how to do it.
Thank you Thank you. This is the easiest tutorial to follow for a newbie subscriber to solar paneling and saved alot of stress
THE BEST step by step guide. extremely easy to understand and follow. Amazing job! love your channel
Thanks so much for your support!
Perfect example of how a 'How-to' video should be presented. Thank you.
Simple & easy to understand. Thank you so much for this video. It helps a lot.
simple short and to the point!
i wish all pepole be like you❣🙏
This was straight forward and well explained. Thank you.
Very good YT How To! One of the best how to videos I've ever seen. Straight, simple, to the point. You took what so many others have made so complicated into an easy to follow task. Great job. I'm saving this one!
So am I.
The simplicity of this solar system explanation is amazing. Thanks alot
Best explanation I've seen yet. Thank you for this video I can now start looking for products to make a kit for my small camper
Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much for the actual STEP BY STEP without all the tech jargon!! You made my day!!
We're very happy to be able to help! Thanks for your comment Mary-Ellen!
Like many people I’ve been very hesitant to get started. This video put all of my concerns to rest. I’m now confident that I can do a full and complete assembly. Thanks so much for this simple explanation.
You are a Champion brother, thanks for your clear and easy tutorial! Cheers🙏🌹
I appreciate your video ShopSolar, getting my feet wet with learning about this arena! :) 👍
Wow...just wow. This video...your explanations are so clear and logical. I ve had my equipment for over a year but didnt feel confident to put it together until this video. Ive watched dozens even before buying the kit. Thanks so much!!!
Nice
Pretty good video. In electronic connecting it’s always best practice to connect negative last or disconnect negative first. This prevents accidental short circuiting a positive connection to framework, which is typically grounded to controllers, inverters, etc.
Very useful to the novice. Clear, and concise with great visuals.
This is the best video for newbies so far. Thank you so much
Thank you for explaining this in simple terms. Just watched a few videos prior to this & was completely stressing myself out!! 🤪 I now feel so much more confident in setting everything up.

This 11 minute video saved me hours of googling, thank you SO much. This is the only video that I understood and explained basic safety, all I need to know is how to calculate how much power I need and I also don’t know how to customize these parts to my needs but this was a very helpful start.
That's what I need right now also how to calculate power
Hey there!
Give us a call and someone would be glad to help :)
A great simple instructional that explains the process well. Awesome..... Thank You!!
Excellent explanation. Just what I needed. Very clear and precise. Very good teacher
I don't know if you already are one, but you're good teaching. Thanks for this very simple, easy to understand video.
Great tutorial, really explained everything well.. thank you
Now, I can go to the market, buy the kits and supply my household the needed electricity.
Thank you for this amazing video.❤
superb - refreshing to hear someone speaking in such a clear easy-to-follow manner
This is explained thoroughly, wish this dude was my teacher back in high school..
Excellent , simple and to the point
Thankyou very much. What a nice manner you have. I actually learnt from you. And we can tell you genuinely care about teaching us. Thankyou beautiful man
This guy was great . Made my life so much easier.. and didn't confuse it with a black board full of numbers amd conversions.. great video. And saved me huge . Thank you
You are freaking Awesome! Now I can finish wiring my rig. Thanks immensely for your simple, concise instructions.
Good video. Glad you mentioned the fuse. I have two 100W solar panels on my boat, and if I was to remove the solar input wires, I always cover up the panel, (shade) so the wires are not live. ( double checked with a DVM)I also make the bare wires short to avoid the posibility of arcing during a load spike. (I have the same kind, love the built-in USB ports) because I don't like the bare wires being held by set screws. These connections are very close to one another and a broken strand could induce arcing or a short. Well dons.
Is the fuse absolutely necessary? What does it do? Prevent?
I've watched numerous tutorials on youtube but this is the clearest, most professional and easiest to follow one I've ever seen. Extremely well explained. Thanks!
Hey mate thanks for such a cool straight forward video, what a dude you are, done brilliantly
Thanks for the simplicity. Just a note for others--- Usually with electrics the BLACK wire [ is usually the earth wire] and you take it off first and connect it last as a safety precaution.
Great video; a schematic diagram of your setup would be a useful addition to your thorough and clear video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Excellent video to explain solar for beginners - thanks so much!
Good teacher, very easy to follow and uncomplicates the solar system.
Wonderful video! I've been hesitant to try my hand at solar because everyone else makes it sound so difficult. You've put my fears at rest. Thank you!!!!
Thats fantastic news Deborah! If you have any questions along the way please dont hesitate to call or email us at 1-877-242-2792 or info@shopsolarkits.com !
Hello
I found this video several days ago, and realized it was far superior to every other video I had searched out at great length, but I hadn't saved this one! I've been on a search for it ever since and found it again. So thankful! I feel empowered now to do this myself. What a great feeling after days of searching! But I wish the RV video he mentioned were available. I bought a 5000 watt Jupiter inverter for my RV. I'm wondering if I will have need for more information with that size inverter. Will I need a resistor, as one TH-cam tutorial insisted upon. I see I will also need a fuse.

Very well explained. thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
Thank you sir for the help, you are great at straight forward explanation which is much appreciated. I hope that you are happy in your life.
So glad I found this. Perfectly explained for solar newbie. Thanks a ton man.
Amazing teaching talent. You should teach in a local University or College! Thank you very much for the knowledge Sir.
One of the best videos I have seen very good presentation and went it every detail even the fuse size much appreciated
Tank you. This very simple and clear, step by step explanation is never amiss.
Always connect Positive first. Ground is always second. Always disconnect negative first and positive second. It's the safest way to avoid shock or damage to any circuit.
Really? I thought the negative was always first .... anyway, so have a 5000W inverter... will a 200A fuse be enough?
Yep always positive first
@@jimbo4203 thanks sparky👍💥🤣 I’m charging my new battery now
I don't think its good idea specially in AC CURRENT if we remove first negative in live condition voltage will be × 440 from 220 in AC which is called return current our frailer of -ve.
When you want to remove need to do like this (1) +ve (2) -ve (3) E. And wants to connect need to do like this (1)E (2) -ve (3)+ve
@@jcyork1767 no that is right it needs to be grounded when you connect pos+ when hooking up just when you want it disconnected to do something or work on it you can just unhook the ground-
Oh, a couple questions I had that would be helpful: what's the max distance you can run between the solar panel and controller? Also, what gauge of wire do you recommend between each of the components? Thanks!
was there a response. If so Idon't see it.
I had the same questions like you! It seems that you can run as much as you can... BUT, the catch is the longer the cable runs, the quicker you're loosing power through... so you will typically want to to have a larger gauge cable every 20 feet or so. Else anything between 20 - 30 feet at 10 gauge can be acceptable, but if you're running let says 200 feet, then either you will need 0 gauge or 2 ... and a daisy chain solar system... beyond that it is above my pay grade knowledge! 😀
If you use a thick cable. How dose it fit in to the controller?
Great video man you explained everything so well that even someone who is not a technician can do it themselves.
Omg the video I’ve been looking for forever has finally appeared. Fantastic content thankyou
Hi, does it matter which lug gets put on first when reconnecting the controller and inverter to the battery? Can’t tell from the video but I just want to make sure I don’t mess something up for some detail like that. Lol thank you!
Like boosting a car battery, positive on dead battery first, negative off first. The charge controller should also be connected to the battery first before the solar panel because the panel has a much higher power output. That's why in the video the panels were disconnected before connecting the inverter.
So, positive first to dead side because if put on the live side first a live charge could cause a spark or fire.
Diy solar system

Thank you for demonstrating how to put together a solar kit. Seriously! Some do videos 30 minutes to an hour long!!?? 😲🙄😒 May I ask, how many panels (say 100 watt) & batteries does one need? So, if I bought 4-100 watt solar panels, do I need 4 batteries? Hoping to get solar panels soon, completely been off grid for 9-10 months. Doing lots of research. Thank you for your help.
hey there! send us an email to info@shopsolarkits.com and someone will help :)
god bless you bro. i have been searching for so long how to setup solar.. you did it perfectly . thank you.
I'm not a newbie. But I like your explanations and your vids are satisfying to watch because you know what you're saying. It's like a refresher course for an old goat like me ! Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍
When taking the positive and negative lines out from any connection, KEEP THEM SEPARATE.. Nothing better than zap and smoke and burning yourself or your equipment. It's best to have a wire cap on the end or at least tape off the end with electrical tape.
I love this man ....he explained what I was looking for in few minutes
Thanks for the video.. I've watched several and read several web sites and still I have been so confused; However after whatching your video now it makes sense and I understand how to accurately set up my system. Thanks again 😁
Jo, I've been watching videos and the all sounded Greek to me. Now I watch your video and it all makes sence. Thanks for a great and understandable video
Wow the best video out there! Thank you I am very grateful for your simple and well put how to, its awesome! Looking forward to more.
thanks debra :)
Excellent video
Perfectly explained each step accurately
Nice work
Thanks for a very helpful video. I now finally understand how to set up a small system that I have been wanting to create.
I've watched a few of these set-up videos to get something together for my shed. This is the best, clearest explanation I've seen so far. Well done 👍
We're happy to have been a help!
This is an excellent video for a beginner in solar power. I am interested in installing a solar power system to my travel trailer.
Such a good, clear video with good safety steps along the way. Many thanks
our pleasure!
Thanks a lot for this video. Explained simply and step by step. You are good at explaining for begginers. This helped me a lot
