I just finished with my solar shed project and couldn't be happier with the results. This shed will be a great workshop, a charging station for my battery-powered lawn equipment, and help to keep my property secure. For this type of project, you have lots of options and I will try to provide both what I used and other options that might work better for you and your solar shed.

Excellent and exactly what I want to do with my detached garage.

[@everydaysolar]

Nice, that would be a fun project 👍

[@MrAgility888]

This is awesome. Don't really plan on upgrading my shed anytime soon but love that this is something we can do today.

[@dennisblair1384]

What I have done is use automotive lighting (12v) and my camera used 12v at 800ma, so my battery lasts a really long time. I have just one 300W solar panel that charges the batter using a mppt charge controller. I use an inverter if I need to charge power tool batteries or need to use AC for something else. I found that that the battery lasts a very long time. It is a bit more cluttered looking but it is a shed. I love what your did and how clean it is. That is the trade off.

I'm building a portable powestation out of a couple of rigid tool box. a fun project for a DIY.

[@everydaysolar]

Nice, I have a seen a couple people do that over the years. The pro is you can really design the power station to match your use case 👍

[@rjbfreelander2]

Why not power the internal lights via DC? more efficient overall.

[@justnews9738]

Make just test a small windmill. I live in Illinois and when it’s cloudy it typically means we have wind.

[@everydaysolar]

That is on the list. I am trying to get a little ground outside of city to expand out the installations and a small turbine would be great. Thanks for the feedback.

[@JamesSmith-bj9vk]

I like the thought of having all that in one unit but what happens when something fails internally?
A small DIY build can also be built up.

[@everydaysolar]

For sure, I would say the biggest benefits of DIY would be both serviceability and expandability. 👍

[@ometofu]

The birds mesh is over killed lol. Ecoflow made it easy and neat.

[@Electronzap]

Nice setup.

[@SpottedCow1604]

What about IL winters with the battery? You are going to heat the shed?

[@ometofu]

In my solar shed. I add mad amount of lights to lite up the entire backyards plus iOT wifi DC controller for interior 12v lights and TV simulator to mimic someone inside the shed.

[@rjbfreelander2]

Nice solution, nice thing is you can also expand the Delta 2 up to 3kwh if you wanted.

[@ericbooth9584]

Thank you!

[@NWcpl]

great job. Good info!

[@everydaysolar]

Thanks!

[@jonglz421]

Can you share the paint colors you used?

[@Robertrls01]

solars great until there's a hail storm.

[@everydaysolar]

Most panels are pretty resilient. Honestly if you have a hail storm come through that damages the solar panels you probably have a bunch of other issues are well.

[@kevinmiller5467]

Same with cars, great until hail storm.

[@CryptoTikibro]

Did you go over the cost for this solar project, or did I miss it?

[@everydaysolar]

I mentioned the Delta 2, wiring, and 2 x 100 watt panels were just under $1,000. Depending on mounting, location, and if you are going to trench from a ground mount that could add up to a couple hundred more.

[@shelley131]

You need to add an alarm that is loud that will discourage anyone when they open your doors a motion detector that alerts you inside your home or on your phone. Otherwise you have done an impressive job on this shed. Thank you for sharing.

[@desupernoodle]

That's exactly what the security camera does

[@Waldoe16]

Cool shed! Add fire alarm(smoke) please and a easy lock. Is there also a chance for humidity there to cause problems?
