Thank you for the video sir. I live in an HOA area also and although by law, HOAs are supposed to allow them, they make it hard. Your video inspires me to do it as a ground mount and I like the way yours looks.
This panel can put out close to 100 watts ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
nice setup .. actually in the process of building a backup battery 200ah system as well .. with newpowa 200w panel ..using one on a cart at first.. the battery / inverter and controller can be left in the garage the cart pulled out for solar panel to get some from the sun.. and run a fridge and some fans on it for hurricane season..
@@zangulakozm5526 no that is way to much. You don’t want to run more than 300 watts when the panels are in direct sun and roughly 200 watts of power drawn through the night with the system I described. You should use 12 volt led light bulbs that screw into a standard 120v sicket fixture. These bulbs commonly come in 3,5,7,9,11 watt ratings. A 7 watt 12 volt led bulb is as bright as a 60 watt 120 volt bulb!
@@Lilthis_n_that Theres nothing wrong with taking a class first! But a small solar system is so basic you probably will laugh after you do one. Hook charge controller to battery and inverter to the battery at the same time FIRST! Then hook you solar panel to controller and you are rocking! To work on system and make improvements later do reverse order. Discount solar array first.!
Should replace the wires with some heavy duty speaker cables if it's protected from the rain in those pipes, Real thick stuff, You'll get more power out of your setup & it's cheaper than getting weatherproof DC cable 👍
So, this means I can go purchase my own panels and inverter etc and install it myself and cut energy co out and don't have to finance the solar system?
Please help me out. I have 5 solar panels, each with max power 295 W , max power voltage 32.5 C, max. Power current 39.7 V, ISC 9.55a, power selection 0-5w, max series fuse 15a. My question sir is what type of battery do I need to get and how many do you recommend. Thank you

Really nice. The rack is cool the way you implement the piping and fittings for the legs. Really clean. I have some new ideas now, thank you.

Slick setup with your own improvements.
I just built a 400w system as well. Good job!!
Good work, guys. Now you're ahead of the games that are planned for us peons.
What game is that
Awesome. About to do mines here in Hawaii. 👍

Excellent job my friend. Never thought of the pipe like that. (but, I have now lol). I really like it.
Cool video. I started with 400 watts off-grid years ago. The 400 watts with 3 marine batteries at around 300ah can do quite a lot.
Can this be able to run 24/7 without having a power cut if you have a 100tts pc,32 inch led television,8 hundred watts bulbs?

@@Mountainrock70 I feel like I need take an electrical class before I even think about getting solar

Clean install.
Great job !

Nice install. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Congratulations Men!
Nice. Great idea with the pipe.
Hood fabulous. How many dime bags did ya sell for this set up?
Nice setup!! How’s it working out? Hopefully you have some more videos coming on this!

What's up boss. Cool set up. I ain't building nothing. Lol. I just lean them dips when I can. Ha
lol
hey pretty nice setup - you might want to cut off the screws or at least grind the points down.
Will do
How is the quality of those Newpowas? Having trouble deciding between brands..
Great, they work perfect
I like the solar panel rack. What is the size of the metal pipes and the PVC pipes and how far do you have it into the ground, thanks!
1” I believe
Does this come with instructions on install? This is super clean!
Yes
@@therandomguy9032 Are we talking step by step? Details?
Great work man!

I use it like a generator

Awesome 😎 🤙🏽✨⚡️✨
3 foot deep trench?
2 foot
Looks good
Nice work. You did it so neat and tidy. Is your inverter a pure sine wave and what are you going to power with it? Looks great.
Tnks Ben I power my arcade with it and it works great
