Its more efficient and affective if you connect the positive to the oppressive battery so you have negative and positive going out put the negative on one battery and the positive on the other then thats really combines both and is more efficient
At about 3:15, you say you have "already assembled everything and tested everything..." What kinds of testing were done and what kinds of equipment is required to test these components? Thanks, Linn. An excellent subject and a very good video.
It was easier to assemble the parts on a piece of plywood and test them with a multimeter than do it on site, mostly because it was so hot in the greenhouse. When I say test, I just wanted to make sure nothing was damaged in shipping.
I love what you do! i REALLY amazing. A simple dumb question why not choose all in one inverter instead of seperate charge controller you could get just one piece wiring would be much simpler maybe cost effective too!
@@darbinorvar I got that idea, but nowadays off-grid all in one system also has higher voltage input as high as 500v and they can be in parallel. With the help of WiFi dongle you can monitor your shed from home or anywhere. But good luck.
@@hglez86 All solar generators have batteries and inverters built-in, so you don't need to build all this stuff yourself. This is 2024, we are way past needing this kind of assembly for the power needs of this shed.
you could certainly do that, but this is meant to be expandable. more panels, more batteries...etc. most of the solar gens are pretty limited with the voltage they can handle from panels ~ 20-40vdc or so. and you can get external units that go to 400 or 500 if you wanted.
Sorry but I do not like your inverter installed vertically, All of the openings / ports are now more subject to debris entering them, plus if there are any indicator lights you can not see them. I always install my inverters horizontally.
Love the labels!
3000w very nice, you can run a small house with that system, good emergency system if they have a power outage.
Nice project.
Were there any fuses used in the system to protect the equipment? Nice install by the way. Good job.
There are fuses built into the combiner box connections. It's in the video part where I assemble it.
If this had to be paid for by the homeowner, would you recommend this setup or just running a power line from the house?
the greenhouse is pretty far from the house, so you'd need to dig a trench and probably install breaker too.
Are you running north of $5,000 dollars instead of a 100 foot extension cord?
Great presentation and information. Did Renogy suppy pre-cut wiring? Nice set up.

that is a good point. i will change it. i just didn't think of it.

expandability is the main reason to go with the separates. there is also the benefit of a lot higher solar voltage.

Wow awesome
I want to do a similar project! Do I need a grounding cable because I see you haven t used one as well? I hope you answer! Tnx
What size Wires did you get for the inverter and battery cords? Doing a tiny house project and using solar panels myself.
So you have to remove the panel to replace the fuse
I have one solar panel of 80w
Wouldn't it be cleaner, simpler and more cost effective to just get a solar generator with a few panels?
I imagine you would still need batteries if you want to have some power at night, which would require the inverter anyways.

Inverter model is not good .... go find another type please
Please why is this inverter not good and which one do you suggest?
