    Cool setup. Love those chairs also.

    Ive been running my little window air conditioner lately too. Ive got 24 amps in the mid morning with 1400 watts of panels out. The other 200 w of panels are helping the wind generator. Its 600 watts, but not much wind. I have the 4215 BN controller, 40 amps on my 24 volts system. I have a weak connection, I think I have a solder joint that needs redone on one set of panels. I have part of the panels, two of them in a square tubing frame. Portable enough to take in during a hail storm, but heavy enough to not blow around on this little hill here in northeast oklahoma. Im going out with my Milwaukee cordless soldering iron. I should be getting 35 amps. I have four 24 v, 100 aH lithium in parallel with four vhd series 31 lead acid batteries on my solar. The wind generator is 12 volts with 12 big marine batteries. It made up for lower light of winter last year. I have five more blades and a hub for another wind generator. It puts out 79 volts DC when I wrapped a rope around the pulley...I have a second 12 v inverter that I can plug the main inverter into. It has a 30 amp charger built into it. Thats a winter time bad weather worst case scenario. Its a 24 v Aims Power inverter charger, 2000 watts. It gas a dip switch on the back that allows you to use dirty power, so I can use my other inverter, modified sine wave. I havent tried it because ever since I changed ovet to lithium, the voltage stays up. Its 4:30 a.m. , itll be charging in a couple hours. Showing 26.0 vokts, because I used the air conditioner for a couple of hours. Late in the day when I need the air, most of my panels are shaded by the barn. So it drops a little bit. And after dark. I used the oven twice. I'm fixing to stir up some brownies and use it again. By 10 a.m. the battery voltage will be 26.7. My window unit uses about 600 watts. The thermostat broke so its manual . I made all my stuff so I could take it if I move later on. Im trying to get where I can buy a half acre off of my uncle maybe. Its on the side of a hill, so not too hard to build a safe room inside the hill. I like it because theres lots of sand rocks, not very deep. It would be just fine for me. But hes got a mortgage on it, so Im going to be saving up for an attempt at a patch of land. Im going to dangle cash in front of his eyes until he cant take it anymore. I have to go resolder a connection between one of the pairs of panels. It needs a piece of shrink wrap on it anyways. It just looks iffy and raggedy. Been moved a lot . I just want to see if the wattage goes up any. Kind of like your limb trimming experiment. I have some more square tubing now so I can finish making my frames. The first panel I bought got broken by wind threw it agsinst the corner of my uncles trailer. So one pair is mismatched, but I welded it good. It makes good amps. Well hey, some things slightly alike on our builds...since Ill have the frames, I want to try some way for the panels to follow the sun which will maximize the output. Ive heard you can get twenty five percent more output, for seven hours or so, it gives you a lot more wattage for hours every day. So if youre cooking, it doesnt take much out of the batteries. Well, nice build. You got sun to your panels, nice. I only have the wind generator 16 feet high because of lightning on this hill. I have a theory that the whirling blades, 3, sort of scatter the electrons, I hope, that keep the static from building up as much, because the wind turbine is like three and a half feet above the barn peak, where the pipe has an angle iron welded to it. My uncles wifi router antenna got hit its like two feet higher than my wind turbine.

      Sounds like you should have plenty of power.

      I just looked it up. Not rated for the same weight limit. This one is rated at 600 pounds, the one on Harbor Freight is rated at 250 pounds. Would be nice to see how much it can actually support. Thanks for watching.

    i hope i can do this before i get too old and die lol i got a couple things allready but i need a good inverter and a good battery then i should have everything i need to build a cool little set up

      I can say I like the CNswipower inverter I have. For the price it is good and very quiet. The batteries are getting cheaper. Except some brands like battleborn. If I had waited, I could have saved about half of what I paid for my batteries. I got some mid-priced ones and at the time they all had low temp protection. Now you can get that on much cheaper batteries.

    Why are you so out of breath. Maybe you should sit down on your chair
