@@stangchad believe we had some 40mph gusts within the last month or so. So far it's holding up. But only having 1 panel on it doesn't give me the full strength test so keep that in mind.

@@KODIAKJAYMZ so far it’s still tracking for us, cloudy days it does struggle a bit but that’s to be expected

People loves the easiness and safety of using solar generator.

@@Dave-xr9bc I have a personal Facebook but not one for the RNKustomz page

I tried spinning it a bit and the actuator seemed very sturdy. No promises that would work, but in my experience it held under my decent amount of force.

@@TheFutureisTheFuture just changed it yesterday, I unhooked the battery so it wouldn’t move while adjusting, wasn’t hard to adjust at all

@@rnkustomz great. Seems like it might be awkward from the weight of the solar panels. I guess not... Great 👍🏻

@@TheFutureisTheFuture to be fair I only have 1 panel mounted currently, so with a full set of panels I’m sure the difficulty would increase. Always good to have a buddy on standby haha

The Delta 2 has a voltage limit of 60 volts. So if you series 4 panels at 20v each, you are going to fry your unit. 20x4 = 80 volts

It tilts just as far east as it does west, my time lapse was started later in the day.

@@michaelvanallen6400 all situations are different, for someone with extremely limited space a tracker can be necessary. Thanks for the comment.

Just under 51 inches

lol i was gna say that too

I swear I read somewhere that the xt60 only affected input current from a cigarette outlet of a car and things like that. I’ll order an xt60 I version and see if my input increases, I typically get 340 watts out of this array.

@@rnkustomz To be conservative the Delta assumes everything you plug in is a car charger unless you tell it otherwise by shorting a sensing pin to negative. You can test this by lowering the "Car input" to 4A in the app and watching your power levels go down. As you're feeding the Delta with 49V, with your 400w setup you're probably not seeing the current limit anyway. If you had a perfect 400w output from the panels, at 49v that's 8.16A and you'd just barely get limited.

I ordered some xt60i’s today as im gonna add another 2 panels in parallel to make 6 total. Thanks for the helpful information! I’m still learning all this stuff.

Going to set everything up this weekend.

@@DT-ww4gv Let me know if you run into any issues and ill do my best to assist! Thanks

That’s where I was struggling too. My yard has some tall trees and this was the second best spot, the best spot would have been about 300 feet away from my house and I didn’t want to pay the cabling bill for that far lol

@@lawrencedavidson6195 thanks for the comment! Glad to see you here

This concrete is 4 inches approximately. It’s an older pour on the property.

@rnkustomz thanks for letting me know I'm thinking of ordering one and wanted to know how thick to make the concrete

@@The831Z I’d go a bit deeper than 4 personally, especially if you are in a cold climate.

@rnkustomz California. I get no real cold weather but thanks ill go deeper. It better to go deeper just in case. Thanks

May I know what is the biggest size and weight will it hold?

@@zoshomestead I see you have some chicken content! I’m subscribing. I need to get chickens again haha

@@aflipzkidn haven't heard anything on an updated display for the dual axis version, but I haven't looked into it at all either honestly. Thing controller wouldn't direct swap as their isn't a second input for another actuator.

@@rnkustomz cool thanks for letting me know.

I will do my best!

@@TenTenorioArt you have to take both into consideration, but going over on volts is dangerous, going over on amps shouldn’t pose a threat to your unit. Technically the delta 2 should have over volt protection but I’ve always heard not to trust it and be careful. You can go over amps and it shouldn’t be a problem, the unit is good at limiting at the rated number. That’s the reason I did 2 series 2 parellel. It can be very difficult to max the delta 2, and that’s why I just gave up and settled on 4 panels haha

I'm considering just getting a single 400 watt portable panel. So many issues and I'm not an electrician or engineer.

@@TenTenorioArt as long as it fits the input specs it’s not a bad idea. Also if you live in a cold climate you want to stay 15% or so below the volt limit

@@rnkustomz I feel like I'm learning a lot, so thank you!

I just bought the same set up. Delta 2 and 4 100 panels. Can you do a video on the exact wiring and actually plugging it in to the Delta 2. Thanks for this video. I like the mobility

@@kajavaid obviously every county/city is different. Since mine are not mounted to the ground, and are mobile, I didnt need a permit in my area, and all my electrical is off grid.

@@laboringinthefield5252 I still need to do more research on grounding before I make a decision. I don’t think it’s a bad idea but some people try to say it’s not needed for a delta pro solar input. Not sure yet honestly

Just checked out your video and commented. Super cool setup

@@fergman300 I have both the bifacial and none bifacial eco-worthy panels. I’ve seen over 90 on each but there was absolutely no clouds or haze, and it was a cooler day

Not sure I understand your question

@@rnkustomz If you could leave a email to me, We can negotiate further

I have a smaller deep freezer, that’s a good idea for a test to see how long the unit could keep it going. Adding this to my list.

To our knowledge it would not work because the axles aren't the same so the brackets would not mount up correctly.

@@pognog2 no grounding, and no combiner boxes/micro inverters. All connections tethere the negatives of panels to left, positions on right, then 3 way parellel connectors run through 70 feet of 10 awg wire, to a mc4 to xt60 cable

16 foot extra wide extra deep with a 15hp Johnson motor

The generated power is being stored in a ecoflow delta pro currently, that unit is placed in my office in the house. So each day I’m powering my laptop, monitors, and other items used for my day job. Occasionally I run my air fryer, portable air conditioner. Stuff like that. Thanks for the comment

@@rnkustomz Thanks for the reply. What’s the storage capacity of the EcoFlow Delta Pro you’re using? And what do you roughly pay for grid electricity? Do you have to move the battery between charging and use or does it stay in one location in your office? Don’t get me wrong, I am always a fan of off-grid systems, especially creative like this. Just trying to get the details to see what the economics and convenience are like. Unfortunately most people are too comfortable with the grid. My system: 7.8 kW roof-mount solar PV, 10 kWh LFP energy storage, Sol-Ark 12K multi-mode inverter, Kia EV6; average grid electricity bill (including EV charging) = $51/month 😎

@@bluezcluez315 delta pro is 3.6 kwh battery. No movement of the battery between charging and use, as of now it stays planted all day and i have a power strip coming off the unit so i can run my office day after day. Electricity here is 10.2 off peak, 17.2 on peak pwer KWH. Its definitely not gonna pay itself off in a year or 2. If we had net metering where i live id be willing to have a grid tied array but sadly we dont

@@rnkustomz Solar and batteries are cheap enough to compete with your grid on-peak price. Consider installing an import-only system - no net metering needed as the utility will just see a reduction in load, no export.

@@bluezcluez315 I’ll need to research into that more. Sounds very interesting
