- In this video, I guide you through the entire process of building a DIY solar generator/power station using a large Ridgid Pro Gear System 2.0 toolbox. The setup features a Jupiter 1000-watt inverter, a 35Ah Mighty Max deep cycle battery, a 10-amp solar charge controller, an outlet with USB-C and two regular sockets, an LED voltage sensor, a USB cage fan, an SAE solar port, and an emergency shutoff switch. For the connections, I used 10-gauge wire to link the solar charge controller, SAE plug, and voltage sensor, while 2 AWG cables were utilized for the connections between the battery, shutoff switch, and inverter.
This solar generator build is fully customizable! You can easily expand its capacity with larger batteries or by wiring multiple batteries in parallel for more power.

Best step by step video I have seen yet. Might consider a fuse and if connecting more switches using bus bars will free up the battery terminals. Great job!
Thank you for watching! Adding fuses and a bus bar is a good idea.
Nice build need two fan intake and out take i build power station need fused to but good job i have same tool box with 1100 watts inverter with waterproof plug
Hat a great little build and tutorial! I think I’m gonna pop one together myself with your recipe! Thank you 🙏
Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! If you have any questions when you are building yours, feel free to ask them here.
Not too bad for a beginner......
Yes do good just missing 12 fused blocked and fused and breakee for out let i build have 13 usb port fast chare and 3 110 volt out let
this is a great video. If you can have a link to all materials would be helpful . Thanks
Thank you very much for the support! I just added a parts list in the description of the video with the name of all the products and what store you can find them. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
@@Jacob_Pratt thank you...
Should you have added an exhaust fan also, just saying
I should have added another fan, but only one was available when I ordered it on Amazon. I plan on installing a second fan on the other side to improve heat transfer from the battery and inverter. Also, thank you for checking out the video and leaving a comment!
can i put more batteries?
If you wire the batteries in parallel, you can add as many 12V batteries as you like without increasing the overall voltage. However, if you wire them in series, the voltage will increase by 12V for each additional battery you add.
