- I install a simple solar panel system and some storage solutions to help turn this shed into a good base for other garden related activities.

Nice, now for the rest of the house. Nothing like free energy!
Nice tidy install. The payback time discussion gets interesting.
How can anyone know, when they have NO idea how expensive retail power will be a year from now?
Let alone in 15 years.
Looks great!
Nice work! Looks perfect! ⭐️
That's a very clean installation. Great work!
Nice job 👍
Thanks for sharing bud!
Nice and beautiful
I had headphones on and honestly had a Tucker Zone moment at 6:55 with the messenger notification. 😂
Holy cow!! This is really well made. It was quite entertaining
That's great mate
You have done a great job
Looks good and well thought out.
Nice one lad
Man , great work .... I just built a new shed and would love to do that for my lighting ... looks hard , come do mine lol
Great job on the shed and roof and gutters, and AWESOME diagram on the electrical...but can't understand why you would use MDF? It breaks apart easily (whenever you attempt to re-seat a screw, etc) and if you ever get it wet, even if it's a drip at the top, it can literally fall apart. I'd consider 1/2" plywood, even if its a little more expensive. Finally, Love the shed exterior walls, using the roofing material looks different and really nice!
WOW you guys have nice kits for sheds. buy one in the states and you get 2x2 studs with particle board crap siding unless you build it yourself like it did.. great job though....
That looks like a hot and sunny climate. Are you sure a black, metal shed is a wise choice?
I was not paying too much attention at 1:04. But, one minute you were putting fixings in the roofing sheets and seconds later your were filming inside. I've got to say it looks a hell of a lot bigger inside. How did you do that. Is it all done with a sonic screwdriver?
Very nice, if water intrusion would affect batteries. You should get them off the floor.
Hey mate, this is ace and exactly what I was thinking of (bar the solar and batteries). Just had a couple of questions.
1. What size Handi did you go?
2. Are there any council regulations about how close you can put the shed to the boundary? where I am it is 900mm.
Awesome job! I see you have a DC-only setup. Interesting ... any plans for an inverter off the battery for running AC equipment? Or are you sticking to DC? Besides lights, what will you run. Very inspirational!
Go kart!!!! Electric go kart!!!!!!! Woooooo
Yew! Another video.
Hey mate. Where abouts did you get the rails and brackets for your solar panels?
Hurray!
I keep hearing sh*t build lol. Love the black panels
Thanks Kenny! Not bad for a rookie
Sup boss. Watched so I wanted to drop a comment.
Everytime I look at someone wiring something I be like nope...not doing that. Haha

Wow, the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series sounds like a fantastic option for outdoor enthusiasts like us! With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology, it seems like the perfect backup power solution for camping trips or emergencies. Thanks for sharing this recommendation!
Hey Mate , Great Video.. Just curious what sides you panels face? East and west? I like the idea of the small solar setup. Might have to check out those guys in Perth 👌
Did you end up doing anything with the shed base to seal it up from dust and rain?
Cheers
Thanks bro much appreciated. Yep correct they face east and west - in may case that was the only real option for me unless I wanted to build standing frames and face the panel north. I've found the setup generates more than enough power for my needs at the moment. Nothing to seal it up but then again there is nothing sitting on the ground that I am worried about getting wet. Maybe some expanding foam would be able to fill the gaps up in a reasonable way
future tip theres metal roof mounts that pinch on to fins
Very curious how your prevented water getting into holes in the roof
You could use spray foam
Silicone is best
put duct tape down before screwing screws into the roof. the heat will melt the glue and make it water resistant.
Man, great video! I’m in the process of turning a shed into a music studio powered by solar. Is the wiring from the MPPT to RCD legal and easy enough to do?
Thanks mate. The low voltage DC wiring is fine, but you mentioned an RCD so I am assuming you are wanting to install an inverter (takes the DC voltage produced by the panels and stored in the batteries and converts it to 230v AC)? That part would certainly require a sparky. Hope that helps bro
@@TheHandyTech Yeah man! I would prefer pretty much the same set up as you have there. I only asked about RCD as a 'trip switch'. (Apologies for my lack of correct terminology).
I have:
Panels -> MPPT -> Lithium battery -> Pure sinewave inverter.
I'll be running transistor guitar amps and a computer (more or less) ..
👍😘
What was the last thing installed? A collapsible what?
G'day Jim. I think you are asking after the collapsible clothesline
that's a lot of work for 2 lights, lol. can get solar light kits (with sep panel and light) for peanuts and quick install.
My goodness a portable Ecoflow sol gen would be far simpler.
2 Ecoflow Delta pro and 4 Ecoflow Delta Pro Expansion Battery Kit test it out on youtube be great 👍
Good Sh*t!… err I mean Good Shed!
Screws through a standing seam. There’s an s5! For that. Hack job
how much u spend
Be careful with installing that on a metal shed. Make sure you use insulation so nothing comes in contact with the metal in the shed.
Hello Loopy
This man wanted electricity in his shed to run air filters and fans. Apparently this is due to his severe intestinal gas issue. He is known to stink out confined spaces very quickly
So, basically you spent 700 dollars for a light for your shed. Wow
I also did some lights for the lawn :) but when I get to doing some rain water based projects I have all the power I need
Cool story bwo, been Aussie, power connection to garden shed by sparky, so YOU CAN SEE SH1T when doors closed, or heavy rain.. will likely cost 1200$ not including trencher hire from house power box to small shed which can go up to 800-1000$.
The batteries alone cost my self 400$, so that would be 800$ for just his two batteries. The electrical components I have seen go over 100-200 each depending
This is why he said it was a steal.
holes in the roof. could have done better
Why do so many TH-camrs believe music over their talking is professional? Its absurd and a waste of time for people who want to actually hear what you have to say.
TH-cam is a free platform mate and people make videos in the way they like unfortunately. You can try the subtitle option if you have trouble hearing but otherwise you may have to move on. Thanks for watching anyway
That beat at 5:00 is sick tho and pretty original if you ask me lol
Harbor freight 150 bucks for full solar.. u say 700 is cheap haha
All these efforts only to power a few lamps,not worth it. You should install more solar panels.
"Al-oom-inium" it's "Uh-loom-in-um"
"Gare-age" it's "gr-aahz"
What is the point of the music is it a trend lots of people use it sorry don't like it stopped watching find it pointless
