Full overview of the cabin's electrical system. It is completely off grid & running a 5000BTU air conditioner, microwave, kettle, blender, fridge, lights, tvs, dvd players, radio, fans, and more. We stress tested the Bluetti AC300+B300 by running everything at once. 4x 450watt Longi Solar Panels charge the bluetti. All day long the air conditioner runs and batteries remain fully charged.

Also stress testing the solar system seems like a lofty goal....He should start small...maybe earth than maybe mars😂
Just thinking of the cost and hassle to run power to that cabin from where it might be makes this system a no-brainer... and a pretty good place to see out the apocalypse...
That's a decent unit you have running everything there. I haven't tried Bluetti at all yet. Thx for this video!
"Let's just start by stress testing the whole solar system."
😮
WHAT?!!!... Oh, right. That makes more sense.
Dean, you love a deal so you will get a kick out of this. I researched solar for a while and finally went for the Jackery 1000 to “save a little money” from the bigger version. You should see the tiniest little cook plates are all it can handle 😂 MAYBE a pack of ramen. So what’s happened is I have spent money trying to find itty bitty appliances once I decided I could cook a little to stretch fuel. Wish I would have bought a fat daddy from the jump! Using my insta pot, air fryer, slow cooker would be very nice!!!
Sweet set up, U have taken the cabin to the next level
I was thinking that you really needed a battery bank and some more solar panels in and on a shed outside but your explanation took care of that.
Really cool set-up.
Have a ripper mate!
I absolutely LOVE that you showed all the things that run, the different scenarios and that you talked numbers.
Best walk through I’ve seen on a solar off grid system I’ve seen…and I’ve watched a lot lately.
Appreciate it
0:55 I’m already impressed!
A few questions already, if you have time:
1. Is this the “CP Bunkie”?
2. Would it need to be insulated to keep it warm enough in winter, or would a little wood stove suffice?
3. I assume you, being the extremely detailed guy I see in your videos, have kept track of the price of this. How much have you paid (or how much would I need to pay) for what we are looking at today, from bunkie to finished, assuming I build the bunkie myself from a package?
4. What is the square footage of the bunkie, and is “shed sized”? (You know what I’m asking, right?)
Thanks!
Cp is canadian Prepper. Was built for his channel. It has r2 insulated walls and is super small. Wouldn’t cost much to heat all winter. If you wanted to build the whole set up, with the cabin kit and all the solar and finishing, it would probably be 30-40k, depending on lots of things. ✌️
@@ArkopiaRUclips thanks! Yeah, I thought it was the same one you guys did together. Have a great day!
@@ArkopiaRUclips I have a question or two for you, but would like to ask it away from the public forum (related to a bunkie, freeze dryer, heat output, small scale greenhouse, and what appears to be random stuff that I believe connect). Sounds pretty random, but it’s not! Can we talk? Maybe 10 minutes? I’ve been “prepping” for a long time and it’s time to choose some next projects. I’ve been watching your channel and I respect your line of thinking (You are DOING things I had mapped out over 20 years ago!) and I don’t have your level of energy (I’m praying because I used to and hope to once again! 🙏🏼) I don’t care to do what “everybody else does” and look for what WORKS in the life I live and where we’re going… And if it doesn’t work, it’s not a waste. It a lesson and a pivot.
If you don’t have time to talk, I understand. You’re clearly a busy dude. If talking is possible, we can figure out a mutual time. I hope it works out!
Great video review on the Bluetti I love the expandibility 👍
I hope Nate watched !
That's really impressive!
Great setup
Impressive little system. 👍🏻
Nice setup
This was so well done! Thanks for sharing! #goals
Are those the type of batteries that shouldn't stay above 80% long term?
Meaning, if they are constantly plugged into the solar but the air conditioning never runs down the battery below 80% over months and months, is that bad for the batteries?
I only have a portable solar generator and am still learning.
This looks super cool.
At night it drops down with the little stuff like fridge running. All day it’s fully charged
You can easily change the settings for charge/discharge levels.
Really cool technology Dean .
Great job on your research but if you used your super insulation (R-60) insteadofthe inefficient bunky home ,and built a similar tiny home how much difference in overall cost would there be ?
I'm presently designing a 16' x 32 ' x 18 ' high home and will still need a off grid power supply like the one you have demonstrated.
Those 450W panels are a good starting point but are they the top of the line ? How well can they handle large hail ? Any ratings posted by the manufacturer?
In Texas, there was a massive hail storm which wiped out a solar farm .
That's what I am concerned about. The survivability of the solar panels.
Anyway brother Dean ,enough knit picking .
Love your inventiveness.
Maybe some day you will use the R-60 technology in your next project.
Fridge ,large freezer ,laundry room (washer only),hot water, (either " on demand " or 30 gallon tank ,tri energy designed, (propane back up ), 120 V element , plus 6 - 12V DC elements. That's the next leap in hot water technology.
You’d need an air exchanger and slightly less heat. This thing is small. Putting in a super tiny wood stove and still cook out of it I think. I’ll be building some cabins over the years, high efficient from scratch that will perform better.
Wonderful Dean .I knew you wouldn't stop at the Bunky .Your too intelligent for that . And you go slowly with your development plans to learn about every level of cost/ Sq/ftage.
My design issues are what shape is the most efficient in heat loss prevention and from what I remember, a spherical shape has the most volume with the least amount of surface area. Hence the geodesic doom ,but we've discussed that already. Tee pee is still on my list as is hexagon plan view with a ratio of 1 : 1 .
35 ' base² ,35 ' height tall . But the solar panels are rectangular not pie shaped.
Oh well, I guess I will have to wait until you to slove this ,.😊
How much was your setup
I'm sorry, the load calculation doesn't support what you claim 3000 watts will handle. A microwave and an electric kettle will pretty much max that out.
700+1000=1700
How much?
For the Bluetti they just had some prime day deals. For solar panels, wiring, appliances, the cabin, etc, you’ll have to price it out. ✌️
There must be something wrong with your capacity meter be cause even if your AC unit only draws 1500 Watts, and the compressor ran only 30 minutes out of each hour of use, then your battery would be completely depleted in only 4 hours. Not 91% after running all day.
1800 watts solar input
@@ArkopiaRUclips Well, that make a big difference.
One EMP later....
*sound of crickets*
Thanks Dean for a nice review. BLUETTI should have given you this for free and paid you nicely for this excellent review/ commercial.
The prices/ costs and discount codes/ links are missing though!.
Please keep up the good work 👏
Links work in description. That Amazon prime deal is only for 2 days coming up.
