Awesome setup. Pretty fancy stuff. I tested some of those 100 Watt solar panels and they only put out 60 watts per panel. So same result as your panels. 😅
OMG insulate the doors, are you going to insulate the doors? You should insulate the doors. Why didn't you insulate the doors? Has anyone told you to insulate the doors? GEEZ
Insulate the Solar Shed Doors with 2 inch Foam Insulation Material = The Purple Color works great for Shed Walls, Ceilings, Doors and Roll Up Garage Doors.
Man I'm so happy for you you got you an awesome system now.. 300 amp hours at 48 volts is massive... You do have way more batteries than panels now😂.. but I think you'll be okay maybe you can add some more panels in the future. The great thing about it is it won't hurt them batteries to run them flat dead all the time and they're still going to last you 15 years.
One thing you may want to look at is the time it starts and stops charging. It depends on the minimum voltage from the panels. But it would be good for others to know if they may be on the edge of charging and not get the batteries charging until an hour or two hours after the sun hits the panels as an example. You should also pick up 10 to 20 efficiency from charging sla to lithium. A lot of lost energy charging lead acid batteries.
If the voltage is not high enough for your inverter, you can add some maybe all to the other string as long as it doesn't have too high of voltage. The lowest amp panel will determine the amps of the combined strings. Check voltage before turning on. Also do not forget that lower temps will increase voltage.
You can hook up the other solar panels with a separate charge controller. If one of your old charge controllers will charge at 48 volts, you should be able to use it. Glad you got the upgrade.
Awesome! Which one on the link you posted is the bundle you all have? We have nothing except a gas generator and a few years old 1300w rockwell solar generator. We really want to install something that we can keep in a solar shed and something that could run a refrigerator and a deep freezer. Also, random question... what software do you use to edit videos? I think i want to take your advice and video journal our journey.
Hope you read the manual. Yes.. master, slave, slave. I'm pretty sure the com cable is backwards. It needs to be from the master to the inverter. Good luck. I recently upgraded my batteries and now have four 400ah in series. I bought the Li Time lithiums. 2400w of pv. Lacking sun hours, but am offgrid.6cl'
Don’t forget to insulate & concrete board the doors. How is the summer heat going to affect electrical system? Will you have to add an electronically operated vent system? I’m sure just like too much cold, too much heat can kill batteries.
Wowzer, they are so pretty and tidy to look at! Honestly, I'm excited to see this and how quick and easy it looked to connect. What a HUGE benefit too to be able to run the a/c for hot nights and the mini split to help heat the place while the fire gets going. I'm excited to see how it improves life for you!
Looks like a good system and the build quality appears to be good but I'm also skeptical of the electrical quality because it comes from China. I would feel much better if it was designed and built in the USA or Germany. I hope this system performs well and lasts for years. Waiting on the new solar panel upgrade! Thanks for the video.
that makes me so crazy... way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and we were starting out, the best battery technology that existed was golf cart batteries. Your system is really nice.
WOW!! You were right! I am so impressed! Not having to pay big money to the greedy electric company is SO 2024!! We gotta vote Dem to get like minded people in charge which will help bring these costs down further!
cant understand with effort made to make shed with cellotex and mortar board yet you left the shed doors single ply usb board which will let cold in or heat out
We are gonna do it just ran outta time and weren't sure exactly how we were gonna do it as we csnt make them too heavy where they can't open. It will be done soon :D
Don't forget to insulate the inside of those doors.....Good video guys...
Absolutely, I was thinking the same for insulation in the doors.

lol. Yeah, if only someone would tell Jay to insulate the doors!

Yeah, Solar Power! You both have Detroit T-Shirts!
Great video.
Suggestion... put red tape on the ends of the positive cables where it comes in from array. It will remind you down the line 😊😊
Still laughing 😂 I love this banter ,how come it’s always the wife who says she wants a new husband 😮

Jay don't forget to insulate the doors! Once they are closed it would be easy to get busy elsewhere and forget the doors! ❤❤

🖐😎👍
Your're suppose to balance your battery by charging all to 100% independently then placing in parallel.
Another great solar video guys!! Exciting times!!
Fabulous setup! So much more streamlined. You will have to insulate the doors. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

Is the tracking array adding to the system? Don't forget to insulate the door.
Awesome job and video! You make it look and sound so easy! I’m excited for y’all!
Superb!! Technology: Win, Win!!

Jen's got 'MUSCKLES'!!!! Jay ,
Awesome setup and installation. One suggestion I would put insulation in the doors before winter.
Hope all goes well my friends 🤞🏻 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you always 🌞
Jay love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and Jen and working on the homestead and solar energy
Woot! Woot! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

Are you going to put in any kind of fan in the inverter and battery shed when it gets hot in the summer?
that makes me so crazy... way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and we were starting out, the best battery technology that existed was golf cart batteries. Your system is really nice.
Awesome job Jay on the installation and Jen on making the deal to make it happen 👏.
Glad to see I aint the only one with the idea of running everyyhing 120v instead of 240. Question I have is what made you go with roxiu over eg4?
I'm commenting on this before finishing the video but are you going to insulate the doors?
I am impressed with the batteries… never heard of that battery company… will definitely take a look bc of this video!
I think we all need to think for what's coming.
After a year please do a up grade on how you like the new batteries
I have the Exact same solar panel setup you have. i wonder how long it will take to Charge those 3 Batteries? Keep us posted
Insulate your doors too. System looks good.
I would insulate your doors two
Are you going to insulate the doors to your solar shed
What a blessing! Nice setup
what a great system you guys have now!!!
Vernors Ginger Ale is the best!
What size solar gen do you have?
Why not insulate the doors? Makes no sense
Fantastic! Love you guys and watch every video. Were you going to insulate the doors?
Wow that is fantastic guys, Jay you made it look so easy, are you insulating the doors?, and Jen are you going to build a greenhouse?, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
So Jen runs pretty hot, huh…
Great to see this new set up. Love you guys❤
Yaay I wanted to know more about the LiFePo4 batteries :)
AWESOME Stuff!!!!!
Sweet, free stuff!
Good job ! Rock&Roll 😃
Great job❤❤
Woot
Awesome!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I won't buy Chinese products. Hope they hold up for you guys.
All of Romania buys chinesse stuff,and they hold up very well.In fact it depends only on brand,some are really high quality.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
