Nice video. Enjoy your freedom 👍🏻
Thanks, you
The 48V 100ah batteries are a good way to go. Nice system!
I would love to have 200 amp hour
Great video! Gotta love that security of backup power.
I'm saying
Awesome video. Highly entertaining yet immensely informative.
Thank you very much..I worked kinda hard on it lol
I sure am glad I found your channel ❤
Thanks...that means a lot
great video i install solar myself and i've never seen a better video
Wow, thanks!
Great video. I just wanted to say that you want to hookup your batter to your inverter first and then your panels. Likewise shutoff panels first before making battery changes. Since you had them turned off it was fine. Just wanted to clarify in case someone might not have realized you were isolated from the energized panels when you first hooked up. Love seeing more people setting up solar and showing everyone how easy it is.
i literally said ok lets go back out and turn the switch off and get this wired up...but ya I Understand the sequence...thanks
Thanks so much for these videos A Ol Sick Lady like me could never Only in my dreams 😂 My Shed needs this ASAP😢
Right on
Great video and the dude saved me some money just reamending the battery's however I will be living in a van so I need much less power. Thanks dude
Glad it helped
I like your "Can Do!" attitude. This is how DIY things get done. With that said, why didn't you buy the gland to run your PV wires into the building? They are super cheap, seal much better, and give a much better finished look.
I was trying to get it done that day that I was filming that's why I did not even wait on the breaker or the fuse
I have 8 of the 550w Sungold Power panels and a Sungold Power 5,000w inverter/charger/charge controller too. Great idea to have it separate from your house. I wired mine in series too, racked 15" off the roof of my motorhome. This produces 400voc, which is easily handled by my Sunpower all-in-one's 500v input charge controller.
nice...sounds like a great system...how is it working out? what will it run?
@@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID Our system is sized perfectly for our needs. It runs everything in our motorhome just like we were hooked-up at an RV park. We usually run our mini split heat pump either in cooling or heat mode 24/7. In the afternoon when the summer sun is beating in, we run both our front rooftop 14.5k A/C., which draws about 1,500 watts, our rear heat pump at the same time. We can even run our microwave for a few minutes to heat up supper, our TV and desktop computer without it overloading our inverter. When the sun goes down (and so does solar production) we no longer need our front A/C, so we can make it through the night on our batteries easy peasy. It helps that we have good insulation, dual pane windows, etc. in our motorhome to stretch our limited power.
thats what I like to here
That intro music slaps
I Agree 😎🤣
Nice work, sir! This is one heck of a system!
Thank you my friend
Thanks … awesome set up!
@@juanr.3314 thanks for watching
PINE CREEK here. Thanks for the info
😎👌
I see these videos on TH-cam building all these tutorials. Unfortunately, I'm too poor to do what these videos show.
Damn Justin lol, that’s a set up, shit man, did you look at mine? I got several vids of what we got goin on. Way to go dude, good work.
No I don't believe I have seen yours I'll check it out
You know your stuff partner, good luck to ya.
I know just enough to make it 🤣
Nice build, if that's a water tower your close to, bet you have great water pressure, ours is not so good.
on well water here..that water tower is for the city
great, but you need a battery balancer, to balance each battery with the same voltage
checking the blue tooth app they seem to be pretty close on the voltage. If they mis align too much they will have to be charged individually to get them into compliance
I really like your project sir 😁
Great video, thanks😀
For sure
Enjoyed this🤙✌️🖖
Thanks appreciate it
Really awesome
Thanks a lot 😊
Now THIS is what the internet needs! Nicely done (although what is securing the panels to the frame you built?)
cheap homemade plumbers tape
@@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID - hahah that’s awesome. I was gonna say that I’m in FL and don’t know how well that would hold, but your winds are just as strong
Nice video
Thanks
I just bought 4 used panels, 230w used. I’m looking to pick up possible 6 to 10 more
Good deal
Nice
2:55 didnt even finished installing the panels and some bird already shat on it 💀
im sayin I was like wth
@@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID so whiloe you were installing the solar panels a bird actually decided to shit on it-
now thats some bad luck
Nice and simple but that power strip will overload and get hot over time. I would not run a ac window unit on that it will burn the power strip up. I’ve been a residential and light commercial electrician for 17 years and I’ve personally seen that problem happen. BUT in a pinch for temporary use it’s ok just not for long term safe use. You still get a thumbs up tho!
gotcha man...i normally wire them into a critical load panel..but this is a portable system..max amps from the inverter is 20 by the way
Is it safe to keep them batteries indoors? I heard batteries put off offgases is that true
led acid put off gasses...it is safe for lithium only...never charge led acid in a closed space
i live in noble mite use your idea for my house ty for info
Right on
What you use for internet? Just curious, thanks
I personally use satellite at my property
@@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID so no cellular signal at your land because it’s too far out? I feel you would not pay satellite if you can use cellular data
@@tonyhawk6070 no cell service
Harbor freight has some good one.
uhh...im not to sure about that
@@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID, because it's HF, or because you tested/used them before?
they are weak cheap junk panels with low wattage and high price for the little bitty 100 watt panel. the charge controller is the equivalent of Temu crap and the inverters they use don't even reach the ratings they claim..But Harbor Freight is my favorite store still..but not for solar. so what can I say
Not to critique your setup but that 12V switch should not be used, it is way underrated for 48V and will fail and could cause major arcing. Also with these types of high current systems a proper crimp on your lugs is critical, that is not an acceptable way to create a safe crimp and could cause excessive heating on that joint. You can buy a hammer crimp for under $10 that is much more acceptable. And as for saving money on your batteries, spending another $150 more you can get a much better rated rack battery that has full closed loop communications, fire suppression, 7000 cycles, and 10 year warranty. Other than that you're on the right track.

Not to tinkle in the cereal, but you pulled the PV wire through the house without any chaffing protection. I saw metal sticking out of the siding, so you jammed the PV into the siding.? Never use an impact tool on an inverter terminal. This neat deal from SunGold panels of 4 includes shipping $1,220.00 price.
It's all good I'm ready for the critics.. the siding is plastic and there's absolutely no metal on this trailer house you actually have the plastic siding a piece of foam board insulation and then sheetrock and you're all the way through.. unless you hit a stud which I went between the studs LOL.. by the way this system was about building a system the very cheapest you could get it done safely. And you know that's a great question about the Sun goes panels they sponsored the video so there was no shipping charge but I guess you would have to put them in your cart to see... As far as using the impact I mentioned it in the video and said I shouldn't be doing it but I was in a big hurry to knock it out I only had about 2 hours left to get everything done so I was easy on it and I only used it on a couple of different things and I actually went back over everything with the regular screwdriver.. but yeah no worries brother we all have our ways we do things I guess
@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID not criticism. But it looks sloppy. Couple bucks to make the pass thru look pro. It's worth it.
👌
👀🙄🐾👍
What about the charge controller?
@@reneed8793 that eg4 is an all-in-one charge controller and inverter
🦋🇺🇸👍👍👍

Jeeze, in europe equivalent solar panels would be $300 for the same 1800w.
Love the ecoworthy batteries though. I have 4 of the 50ah 51.2v batteries
yall must be making them there and shipping them here...or they think us poor Americans are rich 🤣
@@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID true there's a Jinko factory in Germany which I'm guessing is to dodge tariffs, so 440w panels are $75 for the time being 😂
@@MsLemons12 nice
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE INSTALLING AND HAVING YOUR OWN DIY SOLAR SYSTEM IN YOUR HOMESTEAD AND THATS SO GREAT .NEVER BE WITHOUT POWER DURING ANY SHTF SITUATION OR AT WILL. CHECK OUT MY SOLAR VIDEOS , HIT LIKE , LEAVE A COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE IF YOU HAVE'NT YET .MAY THE SOLAR BE WITH YOU . 🤗

Wats the tower n the background
A water tower lmbo
I thought yall lived off grid tho. Thats why i was confused wat it was
I hav 3 wells on my farm for water and creek an my pond
Thats y i was confused about wat it was@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID
I'm installing a back up solar system at families house if you need the details 🤣 Have you seen my solar system I built off the grid?
how much you pay for that gas hole digger.
@@ronpaul2012robust shoot man that's a harbor freight thing I think it's like 179 on sale and works like a charm
Was anyone else cringing when he ran the wires through aluminum siding without any protection? 😮
Another thing I noticed, your EG4 inverter needs to be mounted vertically. The cooling fans are located at the top of the unit for better heat dissipation. Having your inverter mounted horizontally will cause it to overheat, potentially shortening its life expectancy.
LMBO.. that's vinyl siding
@@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID Well that's WAY better than what I thought... I'm kinda showing my age, do they even make aluminum siding anymore 😂. Something I noticed about your EG4, (you've probably already fixed) but it should probably be mounted vertically for better heat dissipation. Anyways I enjoyed your video, I look forward to seeing more.
@@FJRyder it doesn't matter how it should be mounted it's got fans on the sides and fans on the bottom and they all flow good there's nothing on the back
48v at 200 amp???
48 volt @ 100 amp hour
100 Amp Hours???
Yes

don't ground your solar.
Whatever that's supposed to mean?
@@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID don't put a ground rod in the ground for your solar with that hole digging machine. it's already isolated, your more than likely to get lightning damage to your system through a ground strike that enters your system through your ground rod than a direct strike to the system itself.
@@ronpaul2012robust I didn't use a hole digging machine for a ground rod I beat the ground rod in with a hammer. And I would say that the main purpose for the ground rod is going to be because this is a standalone system and it needs a ground to ground any appliances that are hooked to it so you don't get your butt electrocuted if something gets wet
@@OKLAHOMAOFFGRID i know you didn't use a hole digging machine for the ground rod. but look into this grounding situation for stand alone systems and you might be surprised by what you learn. PSA Don't handle electrical wires while wet.
@@ronpaul2012robust yeah sure I'll look into it but you still need a ground for all your appliances in case there's a fault. You never know if there's something on the sink or anything like that that gets wet you might need a path of least resistance to use besides your body. I'm not saying playing the swimming pool while you're plugging things in.. but I'm pretty sure a ground to an inverter it's more important than losing a $700 inverter to a lightning strike once every four years
