Awesome video, we live off-grid in Southern Alabama and we have the E2000LFP and the Pecron 1000 e for our power source, very reliable products. We have 6000 watts of solar, which is way more then we use in a day, but we have it for future plans. I do have to run the generator to transfer water from the well to our storage tanks. We cook on propane, which also runs on demand hot water heater, and our mini split AC unit. It's not perfect, but we live debt free with no mortgage, no utility bills...
Nice to see an older guy doing high tech stuff, you didn’t even need to read the instructions. Drones, solar power, green screens, GoPro cameras, RUclips channel you’re amazing! Nice portable solar unit! Most newer solar panels work fine on cloudy days.
I've studied this market quite a bit, including buying several commercial units and building one myself, from components. To my way of thinking, this exact model from Pecron really hits the sweet spot as far as portable power stations go, because it has a reasonably powerful inverter, a good amount of battery storage capacity, and allows for a lot of solar input, all while not weighing too much for the size package it is. It really strikes the right balance.
Soooo, reading between the lines, the cat is out of the bag. The shop build is underway by several days already and I am sure that Al's video will be first, quickly followed by Ken's version. The suspense is killing me!
Yes, they started Monday, Al has always been a week or two behind real time and I'm sure he has asked Ken not to put out videos until he is ready. I'm sure the first day of video will be out on Tuesday for Lumnah Acres.
If you put a couple of 2x4s across your rack on the truck and lay the panels on it you can charge with it out of your way and the power unit in the back of the truck.
I just thought I would say thank you your videos they are very helpful very clear. You have a really good crew, the wife is definitely included. So again thank you Ken you are definitely appreciated please keep up the great work.
Hey Ken, Thanks for sharing. Take care, all the best, and God bless. A retired North Pacific, Bering Sea, and West Coast Commercial Fisherman and survivor, ✝️🇺🇸🗽🌊🌊⛴🌊🌊⚓️🙋🏻♂️
I really like my e2000lfp. I use it to run a chest freezer and my fridge and some lights for when the power goes out. One suggestion, if you notice on the panel on the tailgate, the flap is covering part of the panel. ANY shading of any part of a section can kill the output of that section, so you are probably losing 25% of that panel just there.
WOW!! This power Supply unit looks like my power option for Power Outages for Hurricane relief and even Camping. After "IAN" I was without power for 14 days. Gas Stations to fuel my Generator were out of power also. The Florida Sun is very powerful and will welcome my new power Source and possibly help the neighbors also.
That's a real beauty! And you have panels too. You don't want to leave that in the sun. Put it in shade of panels or under work table. Nice review. Thanks for sharing
Nice looking unit, the Solar connectors to the unit don’t look substantial enough companies normally use XT60 connectors. Great video though Unkle Ken 🙏🏼
Hey Ken, Great Tell us about how it's doing from time to time. Also, I would hide the power station behind the panels- easier to read and. UV not good for the unit.
Probably a very handy device.👍 I would not store it in a house or attached Garage because of potential fire if something went wrong with the Lithium battery pack. Not aware of any such problems with the PECRON E2000LFP but I just like to err on the side of caution.😎
@@jasonbroom7147 Yes but I still would Err on the side of Caution. Lithium LFP is known to demonstrate lower rates of self-heating & achieve lower max temps during thermal runaway relative to mixed metal oxide cathodes NMC.
One panel had a flap covering half a panel. The compressor and a cable was shielding another. Do not shade even an edge of a panel . A spot of bird crap can have a huge effect .
Nice and I'm sure you'll let us know all the abilities the unit has. I'm looking forward to this post & beam build you're going to be constructing on this site.

Thanks!
Ken, it seems you put your videos out pretty soon after shooting them. From the way you've been talking, it sounds like the Lunbah Acres workshop is up, though it has not been posted on their social. Al's video on Thursday, August 3rd showed him finishing up the siding on the house. Are they really way behind posting?
Why would youtube remove you from my subscribers list? I went to look for your link in my list and you were gone! I have your train one and scenic travels but the Karpentry one had disappeared.I had to resubscribe.
Hey old man, first, decent choice of power station, but don’t keep it in the direct sunlight and if you do, at least put it on a board or table to keep dust from getting into the unit. When the cooling fans run whatever is floating around will get sucked thru and potentially create problems down the road. I myself have the 2000 with the 2 battery setup and have been pleased with its performance thus far. Pump 1300 watts of solar into it and charge time is significantly less. Thanks for posting.
2000 watts isn't a lot, so you may find that you will still not have enough power to do all that you want. You may want to ask Al & Gina to boost the unit overnight from their massive solar system supply. The price is very good for that size, but not sure that I would rely on gear coming from that country.
The 2000 watts is the base and not the surge watts (4000) for the system. Take a look at @HOBOTECH he did about 8 months ago. It has a LiFe20004 battery 🔋
2000 watts is a lot, or it is very little, depending on what you're doing with it. This unit isn't meant to run every load in your house, but will run almost everything you would use on a build site. Also, they've been out for a while now and folks are reporting that they're very reliable. Have you used any portable power system, yourself?
@@jasonbroom7147 I set up the Delta 2 for a backup on my refrigerator. I’m on the same grid as our hospital and they tend to get fixed first in a power outage.
@@jasonbroom7147 ... the interesting thing about this on a building site is the ability to maintain its internal battery during times of no use. The draw might be say 100 watts (intermittently) while charging tool batteries and maybe 1,000 watts with the compressor running, but all of those things basically run in short cycles with the balance of the solar power charging the system, that could (in theory) power everything for a few hours without any solar input. Basically you almost always have another 2,000 watts in storage that's constantly being topped up. My personal feeling is that it's not really enough to keep after a man lift, which might need 1,000 watts for more than 2 hours to reach full charge.
I first saw you on Lumnah Acres. I was impressed with the solar charged generator and your presentation. I’m subscribing. Thanks 👍❤️

Of course!!!
Alternatively, this could be video from Ken when he and his team were roofing Al’s house.
What a teaser. Can't wait for the viewing of the project. So exciting.
now you got back up to make your work easier to do and save time.
Very excited to see this build from both yall. God bless you Ken

❤ Good Day Ken🌞 Good Energy supply on hand ,never know!👍🤞✌️🙌🙏🇺🇸💫👌🌅🌄
Use a can on the panel to fine-tune the direction. When no shadow from can on panel, you are pointed right at the sun = max power.
Amazing peace of kit
AWSOME!! That should be a fantastic addition to your equipment.
I just thought I would say thank you your videos they are very helpful very clear. You have a really good crew, the wife is definitely included. So again thank you Ken you are definitely appreciated please keep up the great work.
Thank you very much!

AWSOME!! That should be a fantastic addition to your equipment.. nice compact noise free power station!!! Quick set up!.
Pecron is a outstanding system. You can put in a ton of solar panels. Good choice 👍
Remember to not let the panels get covered and shade but try to keep the generator shaded. 😂
Thanks
Haha
WOW!! This power Supply unit looks like my power option for Power Outages for Hurricane relief and even Camping.
After "IAN" I was without power for 14 days. Gas Stations to fuel my Generator were out of power also.
The Florida Sun is very powerful and will welcome my new power Source and possibly help the neighbors also.
A very nice charging unit Ken that will make a big differance for you.
Great information..
Glad to See You Helping Al and Gina.

Good back-up power with no gas for the generator.

Not an issue with the battery on that system
You're thinking lithion-NMC. This unit has a lithium-LFP (lithium iron-phosphate) battery, which has virtually no chance of thermal runaway.
@@jasonbroom7147 Yes but I still would Err on the side of Caution. Lithium LFP is known to demonstrate lower rates of self-heating & achieve lower max temps during thermal runaway relative to mixed metal oxide cathodes NMC.
Wow Ken. Nice unit. I guess this would qualify as a "field test." Thank you for sharing. ✨🌸✨
One panel had a flap covering half a panel. The compressor and a cable was shielding another. Do not shade even an edge of a panel . A spot of bird crap can have a huge effect .
have to see more sorry thank you Ken
Nice and I'm sure you'll let us know all the abilities the unit has. I'm looking forward to this post & beam build you're going to be constructing on this site.
Sweet. God bless.
Ken, Glad to see you are being sponsored by excellent products from companies like Pecron. Can't wait to see how well it performs on Al & Gina's barn.
About 4:30 that day
Nice Ken, if ever you can plug into truck lighter plug and charge to and from work site. Enjoy the free power.
Nice unit - great test!

Good morning KEN. Amazing.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL FROM SE MICHIGAN GREAT 👍🙏🀄👍🌟love the train's you're working on. CiAO CiAO 🛐✝️🀄
How about attaching the solar panels to your truck rack while on the jobsite? It's out of the way and close to the charger. ❤❤😊
So about $1700 with the 2 solar panels, not too bad. 🙂👍

Lumnah Acres has always been 1 to 2 weeks behind real time
That is a very nice system
Ask AL to move his power/ outhouse for power and outhouse to the job. Just a thought 😂

Nice having plenty of power without the noise of a gas generator.
You got that right!
Good morning Ken, I have been looking for something 🌴😎
Power,I like it,per.....fect 😊👍💜
Nice one Ken
How come the cats are staying away from you? Al & Gina usually have them crawling all over them when they are working. 😊
Hi Ken, you will need Ford to loan you a Lightning truck, extended range for bigger battery, just plug anything in the back or front.
Awesome
Nice promo what price did you pay or was it free to do the promo Al & Gina does that alot.
that was fun
Go for lithium iron phosphate battery if it was me esp for homes ..😂😂😅😅
That's what the "LFP" at the end of the product name means...it uses a lithium iron-phosphate battery.
Would not lumina acres allow you to plug into their solar array so you could do the job for them?
Curious to how long that lasts before it needs to be replaced. For that price you can buy a nice gas inverter.
Hallo Kens und tschüss aus Düsseldorf Germany 👍👍🇩🇪🇩🇪🇺🇸🇺🇸🌶️🌶️🤵
