WANT TO GO SOLAR BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START?
Solar doesn't make sense for everyone and I have found a great free resource that's on YOUR side. It's called EnergyPal, they will help you determine if solar is RIGHT FOR YOU and set you up with the lowest cost installation that meets your needs. If you follow my link to sign up you will get a $500 gift card when your install is complete! energypal.com/...
Or, Try Energy Sage - It's free: www.energysage...
I used Energy Sage to research solar and receive multiple competing quotes for my install.

one could use a milk crate but i love this better. a nice piece of plywood wood do the same but eyes drooled with the 1/4 polycarbonate. certified photovoltaic/solar thermal technician here *RESPECTS* 👍
Thanks for teaching us something new. I never knew about this "world" of DIY battery setups. Keep up the awesome content! I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos.
Maaan, I wish I'd seen this video when I had the bright idea to DIY a unit like this for my full-time Prius dwelling and started buying the components... now I know it's a cumbersome and inconvenient option vs the overpriced options on the market (guess they're not so overpriced when you consider their compact neat-ness and such...). I recently found Pecron's LiFePo4 units tho so I'll hopefully be able to repurpose my 100ah LiFePo4 and 3000w inverter + various cables, MPPT controller etc some other way. This is awesome and a great method (love the case to hold the components!). Thanks!
Good video. I think I would put foam fatigue mat between battery and bolt heads to protect battery. Put entire thing in a portable tool box to make it easier to carry.
you could use some foam tape stripes under the battery so you can reduce impact when leave it in rush in hard ground or cement// and maintain it when its worn off!!! keep up
Video suggestion idea, a rundown on 12v vs 24v vs 48V DIY systems. I have off the shelf solutions but doing a DIY looks so fun I just might have to try.
Love the content. I keep the notification bell on!
Thanks for the idea! Projects like this aren't always worth the time from the perspective of saving money, but always worth the learning experience. 😀
Very nice project! It was the first time I saw the TEMCo Lug Crimper Tool . I ordered it right away!
Nice! I'm sure you will be happy with it. I was thinking about adding a bar to the base to make it a little more stable, side-to-side.
You make it look so easy...
It is easy : )
@@ProjectsWithDave I admire your positivity... sadly due to circumstances beyond my control, logical thinking more often than not, evades me.
👍👍
Thanks for the video, Very informative. My question is why the charge controller output goes to the inverter and not directly to the battery it is supposed to charge? Thanks.
Just to save on adding a busbar to the system.
Will this version run a Refrigerator, and for how long?
There are a lot of variables, but should run an average fridge for about 10hr to 12hr.
Great video Dave! What size in thickness were the Makrolon sheets you used to make the outer case?
Thanks! 1/4" Polycarbonate
how would this compare with the new BLUETTI AC180?
The new Bluetti AC180 is a nice package! It's on sale right now for $799 ( shrsl.com/447ng ). It is very close to the performance of the 2000W version of this custom build. From a performance stand point, it would have almost exactly the same capacity, slightly less AC output at 1,800W, and the solar input is much less at 60V/15A vs the custom build at 150V/40A. However, you don't have to build it and it has a lot of built in features. Hope that helps. You can get more details on the build on my website: projectswithdave.com/12v-1500w-diy-solar-generator/
Great
If I'm gonna do a 2000W Renegade inverter with a 200Ah LiFePO4 battery (with 200A BMS), what size fuse do I need?
Size your conductor for 2,000W/12V = 166A continuous. Your fuse needs to match your conductor. Here is a chart for reference: assets.bluesea.com/files/resources/newsletter/images/Choose_the_Fuse_Amperage.jpg
What's the total cost for this build??
I did a cost breakdown in this video: ruclips.net/video/OwfGLu8IY_M/видео.html
How long does it last?
It depends on what you are powering. It can run my full size refrigerator for about 8 hours with one battery and 16hours with two in parallel. If you connected it to a 200W solar panel on a sunny day it would run all day and then another 8 hours after the sun went down.
@@ProjectsWithDave so what would it take to run 1500watts 24/7?
@@jakeweaver5776 Are you talking about 1500W 120V load running 24 Hours 7 days on batteries? That is a lot of power consumption. 1500W x 24hr = 36kWh so x 7 days = 252kWh if you are using inverter then factor in 85% efficiency = 296kWh that your batteries will have to be able to supply if you do not have any Solar for charging at all.
@@jakeweaver5776 what are you power need 1500 w nonstop? To power my apartment everything only need 583w 24/7, 24 hours is 14k one month is 420k.
That include AC, refrigerator 4 computer nonstop and everything else too.
@@jakeliujakeliu I’m building a mix light green house and need to run two 1500 watt led lights
What is the material you mounted everything on, and where did you purchase it?
It's just a piece of 1/4 in polycarbonate. You can get it at any home improvement store.
Hi, I would like to ask you for your input about a Eco-worthy-600W hybrid inverter (with only 1 outlet) this the Description: All-in-one Inverter(600W 12V Inverter+30A controller)
Build-in 30A Controller Part
Solar Charge Mode: PWM
Solar Panel Wattage: up to 540W
Rated Input Voltage: 12V DC
Max. Solar Charge Current: 30A
Pure Sine Wave Inverter Part
Rated Power: 600W
Peak Power: 1200W
DC Input Voltage: 12V

I would like to build a "mobile hand cart Generator," also I would like to hardwire a small 2-pole (30 amp breaker box) to hook up an welder 240v outlet ? to your suggestions will be really appreciated
That is a 110V AC inverter it can not produce 240V.
@@ProjectsWithDave thanks for your input 😶
So the 1500watt inverter sometimes trips the BMS on the AmpereTime or what?
Not on the AmperTime, but it does on the EnjoyBot. The details are in this video: ruclips.net/video/OwfGLu8IY_M/видео.html
Señd lnk
Is it possible to use a power station (i have a 288wh ecoflow that's 600w peak 1200) to charge the lifepo4?
Not easily. You need a charge controller.
