Agreed Brother back up, for a back up, for a back up, prayers sent
I love having backups! Aloha!🤙
Glad to see ya recovered! It finally got sunny here the last week, and I'm already over-producing. I'm gonna have to figure out what to do with the extra energy once summer comes around.
Mahalo brother! I'm over producing on all fronts lately. Plenty water, plenty sun. Perfect combo! But always thinking about what may need to be tightened up! Off grid frame of mind I guess...haha! Aloha!🤙
Good to see you up and about and your warm smile :)
Mahalo my friend!🤙
Glad to see you doing well Bob! Happy Spring, and more power to ya brother!
Mahalo my brother! Good to feel good and be back with you all. I enjoy you all so much. Really missed this. Happy spring! Aloha!🤙
Good to see you up and about again. Redundancy, is a great policy and a great comfort.
I have been assessing my winter power usage and am confident I have a backup to the backup.
However, summer is coming and now I need to focus on more battery storage,panels and another Victron to cover air conditioning needs. Last year I had to break down and run the generator overnight a few times to survive the desert heat.
Mind you it’s just a weekend off grid life for now but the plan is to make it a permanent residence over the next few years.
It really does give me comfort always knowing I have backup options if need be. Day's are longer and power should be in great supply now! Aloha and best of luck!🤙
Good to see you on top with your health again ! Peace
Mahalo!🤙
Yay. Ur better. Was getting worried. Love always seeing the systems. I too like the redundancy. And the hot swap of batteries as needed. It’s a great set up.
Glad ur back
Aloha brother!
Couple days there I was worried too! Really feeling better now, and seeing you all even when I could not respond helped me so much brother. Mahalo for your friendship and support! Also, I just picked up some more blue components for the bungaloha I can't wait to show you. Aloha!🤙 Let the good times roll!
@@ProjectsinParadise808 cool. Looking forward to the blue components! So happy ur better!!! Aloha brother
I like how you have multiple systems. Im wanting to add a third system to my setup separate from the two im using for refrigeration and the kitchen. It just makes sense, so you dont have to monitor the systems so closely and worry about your usage. Nice setup
I really like having the redundancy. Whatever may come, I have options. Aloha!🤙
I was sick too tanking antibiotics lots mucus beside the trough .. coughing a lot . . Now feeling better be starting build the van . Van build . Glad you getting healthier . Taking lemon apple cider and spices .. help mucus to disappear . Love seeing your system running ..
Feeling better everyday now...finally! Aloha!🤙
Did not expect you back so soon. Don't overdo it! ✌
I'm pacing myself brother, but so happy to be back with you all! Aloha!🤙
Looking really good glad the old chins are still running well
They were my first, and they are still fantastic!🤙
Glad you are feeling better and I agree with you on split systems for backup to backup , redundancy is best..
Love watching you share your experiences.
Thank you so much brother! Aloha!🤙
So happy you are doing better. nice to have back up systems. I do the same but different to my needs in NY .been a crazy past 2 years or so. and not just hear. it is all over the planet. your biggest draw I think was pumping water from tank to tank. I have well system and one of my biggest loads . the cloths washer I would say is my biggest load. microwave does not run long. most of my lights are on a 12V system and RV LED and CFL lights. I do have some 24V and 120V lighting but not much. I do have a small 6V system for a short wave radio and a 6V LED light. I made that years ago. it is a shunt regulator type for very low noise. has flooded Ni Cd battery 5 cell SAFT on it now. only a 15W panel.7.5V 2A VPP . I bult it just for the radio. started with small AGM battery. hope to see the blue wall soon.
Mahalo brother...it's good to be feeling better for sure! I missed coming in here to see you guy's and talk solar! I haven't even had to transfer water in past weeks which is good as I didn't have the energy, but caught plenty of rain. Everything continues to overflow, but you are right that pump when running does draw a good load! I forgot about that! All systems doing great, plenty of everything, but planning as always for when that changes! Aloha!🤙
Hope this information helps you has gotten me through the rough times God bless and aloha
Makes me smile hearing that my friend! Aloha! 🤙
Get well 👍
Mahalo!🤙
I agree with your zones idea, I am doing the same, just so glad to see you back dear friend, missed your happy smiles, Oh and are you going to test Sodium Bats? 🤙🙌
Mahalo so much my friend! I hope to give the Sodiums a test in the future! Aloha!🤙
Glad you recovered from coviod 19 you worried me
Mahalo so much!🤙
i like your idea i have two 12v solar generator diy still working on 24v i made my own lithium batterys ,a dollar down and on my way my batterys don,t seem to charge but will over 13.6 at the high but will stay at13.2 for along time but when batterys are 200 it would be way cheaper but i buy a little at time a ten year progress
I started off very slowly as well 30 years ago. 1 panel, 1 battery. Now look where my addiction has taken me! I love this stuff, and it supports me comfortably waaay off the grid. Never without power...compliments of the sun. What could be better? Aloha!🤙
Love you have multi system .. RV van going have 3 , 60 amps , 100 amps and 200 amps system that’s what I got
Nice! 🤙
best of health to you sir....
Thank you so much! Aloha!🤙
Thanks for all you have done for us sharing your knowledge of solar. Can you tell me if you are running a fuse on the positive cable from your Chins batteries to your inverter. If so what size and type fuse are you using for these two 300 ah batteries in parallel? Thank you for your reply.
Mahalo for being part of the conversation! I will make a short on that today to show you! Aloha!🤙
I need to tilt mine
I used to do that this time of year in the Colorado mtns. as well. Don't have to here though...Aloha!🤙
a question. is there a specific reason you switched to victron vs another brand?
when I look at the price of victron, inverters in particular are incredibly expensive compared to other brands such as Growatt etc.
Thanks for a great channel and your great way of explaining things.
Mahalo! I was so sold on the way the charge controllers have worked, I tried the inverters as well and the wy they all communicate with each other has made these systems plug and play. So easy. I will show more soon as I have more blue components to add! Aloha!🤙
what with the victron inverts the bigest one is 1200 watts versa a 3000 watt reliable will they do the same thing ?
You have another system, or two out in Bungaloha, as well, no? Be well.
I do! And just got some components in to tidy it up nicely! Haven't been up there at all in past couple weeks , but be hanging back up there now! Aloha!🤙
I think Bob is going to build a very large system in there and supply his nearby neighbors with power. (yes, lots of wire)
Haha! That has been suggested to me by my nearest neighbor! Mercy it would be a ton of wire!!! Haha...Aloha brother!🤙@@cliffandrews
Hoof it all over there and build one (or more) for them...@@ProjectsinParadise808
