- In this video I show you my personal DIY solar panels and wind turbine hybrid power system. I am not fully off grid, this is a backup power system for my home. I have been interested in alternative and renewable energy sources for many years. I walk you through the different components that produce power and the controls of my power system. With this system I keep my battery bank full and use the excess power in my home to reduce my electric bill.
Check out the links below for the components that I use. The components in the links may look different from what you see in my video, this is because my components are older and the links are to the new versions of those components.

I'm not an expert on solar panels or anything electrical, but the information you provided in this video is gold. Good job.
This is very useful information, well articulated and clearly explained. Good work. Would be great to have a video summarizing your experience with this layout over the last couple of years.
This is just what is needed for partial rv backup. Operates the ac and stuff perfectly. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y is quieter than my rv generator. Only suggestion is that it needs a fuel shutoff valve. So it is easier to store.
Thank you for explaining this so well! I can't find any other channels that go through this in such detail. Most just gloss over the necessary details that people are searching for so they can design their own systems.
I used a mini bar fridge as my Dump load. Batteries never get fully charged and i always got a cold beer been working great for 5 years now.
WOW!!!! We always watch the walking dead and wonder who we know that would make the best team for surviving an apocalypse. Sir, I think it's safe to say, everyone will be adding you to their list, whether they know you or not. LOL. This is insanely detailed!
what wonderful information in this Video Kale! keep them coming !!!
Thank you for sharing us with that real information which is hard to find it like that on the youtube. Also you saving times of many people as a try and error. God bless you.
Woke up with this question in my mind, stumbled across your vid and it’s very enlightening! I am very bad at math but your information is very clear, I will have to rewatch several more times to translate everything to fully understand it again ( some graphic designers ,like me, are not good with calculations hehe)
Very clearly explained
shadowclad looks nice when you clad a building in it- But after 10 years of sun and rain It craps out in a big way. as you see now. you cant beat good ol corrugated iron
Good concept with the relay. In my case, I have a smart meter so If I backfeed more power than I use to the grid I get charged. So I had to connect my 1000w grid tie inverter to a single 100w solar panel. 100w is easily used up by my home appliances and doesn't get to the grid.
Question: why didn't you connect the wind generated power directly to charge controller?
Great video. Explained well and a great system. I'm really rethinking the way I want to do my Solar system now. Do you reset your watt meter every month on your billing cycle? On average how much do you save on your electric bill with this system? I would love to see a lot more videos!!
It has been a crazy year for sure ; I have 16 batteries now...I think I will get two final ones next week...I have a theory that with 18 of them the " dump load " will be unnecessary...All my batteries are a year old or less. I would have had the batteries already but a mishap occured when I tried running my welder and I had to rebuild my Aims inverter / charger. That was expensive. So I probably have enough batteries to have a windmill now. No use wasting power that was expensive to make. I'll just get enough batteries to hold it all. I've decided , if it takes twenty four of them, so what. They can be my " dump load " . lol . This guy asked me what I did when the sun didn't come out, the other day...I just answered well it takes five days to run these 16 down, ( to 23.8 ). (I brought all the panels in ) and the sun has always came out by then. So 18 should last six or seven days. I 'll have to skip buying any this month because of car insurance, but I will get two in February. By then I will have been off grid for a year. I'm getting into phase two this next year...I will be building two wind turbines to help charge all these batteries. There has been an effect ever since I got to 12 batteries. Every time I add two more, the voltage will stay higher. It was really noticeable this time. I think it was on 25.3 when things started charging again this morning. They weren't charged all the way from yesterday. Got them installed late so I only got an hour of sun. I didn't use the power much today so as to let them equalise. I'm hoping they hit 26 volts today. But I also want to make some brownies. lol. Merry Christmas
Does a great video I'm interested in knowing how you tied the grid tie inverter and the small computer board controller together with the relay how did you wire it up
Great video I've watched it several times now and really enjoy it. I have a similar type solar system and I'm just adding a wind turbine to it now. I didn't know about these grid tie inverters and still really don't. I'm really wondering how they actually work I understand the process that you explained on the board and you should be plugged into your house. Is that just plugged into a regular receptacle on the outside of your house and it just automatically back feets or is there something else you had to do in the house to enable it to backfeed? How's this is the first time I've heard of these I'm going to start doing some more research but if anyone knows the answer or if you can comment on this I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Thanks again I really enjoyed the video.
Great information....
Subbed!! You deserve it!! Thanks for the video!
Maybe you found this out all ready 3 year old video. But you need a battery management unit on your battery's because like you show them in the video the 1st one will be the 12 volts but the ones after that can go over 12 volts and over charge them. It only sees the 1st battery as 12 volts the over it can't see and can over charge them.
Or you could set it up for it's 48 volts. All 4 battery's used as one big one.
Nice job young man!! Enjoyed the video!!
I have 8 of those same batteries but I'll probably get 2 more....the people at Autozone are starting to recognize me lol..I told the manager he wasn't keeping up when he didn't have any more battery cable ends...I had bought them all the month before and he was out...the two connections to the Aims inverter/charger are white brass so I had to get those at Napa...the difference is slight but noticeable..they don't even get warm..when I added batteries 7 & 8 I put separate 1/0 cables so there's 2 on each post now..when I get to 9 & 10 I'll probably have enough for me..the sun must be turned off today and no wind...so I'm mounting an old Winco generator and a 3 HP Briggs motor together today...it had to happen sometime...good thing though, now I can turn the charger on 40 amps on the Aims...it's not plugged into the grid anymore...my 490 watts of panels are putting out 10 watts today..must be gonna rain soon..
Batteries are not renewables.
They are not recyclable,
We dump them!
Every piece of equipment this gentleman has,
Is built (manufactured) from coal power!
I wish for it to be true but unfortunately,
A solar panel cannot make a solar panel,
A windmill cannot make a windmill,
And neither can make either!
Handy for camping and sailing,
But I need a solar powered elevator!
Solar and or wind powered prime movers,
Ships, aeroplanes, cars,trains,etc.
Poor people can't even imagine this BULLSHIT,
Because it doesn't work!
You cannot Google food,warmth, and shelter!
Love,trust,and happiness!
I hope you are my friend,
Even if we disagree!
I wander off sometimes!
Well this solar is addictive...I fixed a mower and got given 2 panels is how I got started...batteries are worth $18 for a return, no one here is throwing them away...I'm looking for any extra ones and not too many of those laying around...it's true what you say but people need stuff ...what happened to me was, it stormed and the power went off, and so then I had to find candles , and it was off long enough that everything in my little fridge went bad, and as I was cleaning it out I was thinking, I could build a little backup system...then of course, I thought well, I might as well do it...a week later the power went off again for about thirty minutes so that was just it, some cave man response thing came into play and now I have 14 big batteries running a blue box that came from Sparks, Nevada...funny place for an inverter factory, lol...I have a fear of elevators...I'm always afraid the power will go off...I will take the stairs almost every time lol...I've been poor all my life...I had to go fix every lawnmower in this town for three years to buy all this crap...it works though...it's just expensive...most guys buy a $100 drill to put screws in but mine I had to get a $537 one from Snap-On...mine can take a car wheel off if it's over half charged...I'm not going to be like my uncle and have 15 old ones laying around...I have one good one...the battery is good for a thousand cycles and I've had it two years and charged it about ten times so far...yeah an engine lathe can make another one they say but someone has to run it...I guess that's where you were going with that...I don't think it's that popular of a thing to do though...I mean if you have a lathe you dont think about making one usually...I don't know..I do know that the sun has been up for awhile , my batteries are at 25.4 volts and charging 5.6 amps...that's awful really...must be overcast...I have enough power to heat up my breakfast wrap I got at the dollartree yesterday from this thing so it can't be all bad...well I like your comment but I need lights...you know? I'd like to have some chickens and stuff but I will have to get my own place again...it seems like everything takes a lot longer than it should ...I've always said the planet turns too fast and that about two days should be a day , to give a person time to do everything..lol nobody agrees though...I wander too ...just not very far these days ...I'm not a 7 word commenter , I guess you noticed...
Thanks!
Hi,very informative and well explained video. Thank you. Question. I have solar + inverter & wind, charge controller for turbine but no battery ( don't want them) but when connect the charge controller to the inverter or the 3 wires to my inverter ,this stops or breaks the turbine. Any idea?or advise?
Excellent video. Very infornaitive.
Very well designed system to avoid any wasted power. I know that you are sending the wattage from your wind turbine and solar panels, combined, to your grid tie inverter. Since your grid tie inverter should roughly tolerate around 500 watts, you likely would have to have a very windy day & very sunny day (both) to exceed the limit of your inverter. However, in the event this should happen, you do have a nicely designed way to dump the excess energy, from the inverter back into your system. How has your grid tie inverter held up since installation?
It has been going strong for a few years, but I am not using it at the max level.
Good it's still going strong! It helps a great deal when you don't use it to maximum capacity (the harder it works: the more heat it will generate). Using 1/2 to 3/4 of its capacity will certainly extend the life of the inverter.
so how are the wind turbine voltage and solar panels voltage playing together
Could it be fed (with the energy stored in the battery that comes from the solar panels) to the generator of the wind system so that the generation was greater and constant?
Hello. It sure is an interesting setup.Ihave been looking for a way to join my solar and wind setups. I like the dump controller and relay feature.
But I can't help to wonder- having two separate controllers charging the batteries (wind and solar). Won't they start to interfere with each other?
Say you get both solar and wind are their max output. So they both feed about 14v to the battery bus.
So solar controller measures the voltage and thinks that the battery is full and switches off. Or vice versa. Also the dump load controller has to be set up correctly, so to wouldn't leach the power required to charge the batteries. At what voltage the dumping kicks in?
10 years of Morrison and he added zero power into the grid. Albo has the right policy for immediate power into the grid every other day another solar farm comes online. Dutton talks nuclear which at best is 40 years away starting yesterday. We need power now. Solar with wind + storage is ideal.
Oh yeah, I’m on Team Kale too; Great info! You MUST make this info into a course.
Not bad. Way to go. Do you find you can use the battery throughout the night until the PV comes back online? Thanks for sharing
I don't use this all the time. It is an emergency backup. Sometimes I use it when I am working in the garage just to put some load through it.
Just curious how you personally learned all this stuff. Amazing to me!
I am an electrician by trade. I took some alternative energy classes in college. So this project just reinforces what I studied.
But you can learn all this stuff without going to college.
Good video. Question, The wind gen controller is 3 phase AC? Doesn't it need to be in DC to charge your batteries? How do I hook to system as AC?
There is a controller that came with the generator. It takes the 3 phase AC and puts out 12 or 24 dc.
I don't understand the dump controller. It must be something that only exists with wind. I have solar, and my batteries never end up over charged, the controller just handles it. I'm a newb, so I am likely wrong.
hello sir. can you share the circuit ?
Great info but I have a few questions if you don't mind. Can the turbine and panels recharge batteries at same time if conditions are right? Does the turbine have to have its own controller? Has the turbine ever recharged batteries completely on its own? Thanks.
Both wind and solar charge the batteries at the same time. The wind came with it's own charge controller. It is parallel with the solar charger. In the future I want to get a better charger that accepts wind and solar together and changes the batteries from one controller.
Yes, the wind can charge the batteries alone. It just takes a long time.
Now that we have the new smart meters from the electric company, we need to make sure we don't backfeed the grid, or they will CHARGE US the normal rate as we give them our electricity. Because of this, the company that made your grid tie inverter is now making a grid tie inverter with limiter or GTIL.
96 to 98% of the wind generators from China are absolute garbage. There are only a couple of Chinese wind generator companies that build decent quality equipment. There is a man on RUclips that makes videos about the good ones, if you can follow his unconventional way to make videos. His name is John Daniel.
Southwest Windpower is an American company that makes very high quality, and expensive wind generators.
Good luck on your journey you are well on your way!
How to design dont, stop controller?. Thank you
Hi, What's the deal with your 5 x drains/gutters on the outside of your building? Just curious what's going on there?
I was attempting "gutter gardening". I seen it on RUclips and wanted to try growing strawberries and onions in the gutters. Unfortunately my area had a drought that summer and the bugs destroyed all the plants. I will try again some year.
Do you use wind electric?
Hi, Would you know of anyone that would offer me advice on the required spec of the generator that would fit the Jacobs 10Kwh turbine? Ideally, they should be familiar with the assembly parts of a Jakobs 10Kwh or 20Kwh turbine. I would of course pay them for their time. Right now I need good advice. I can set up a zoom meeting and I'll only take up 30 minutes of their time, thank you. And I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Seamus
How did you connect the diversion relay?
Off grid common sense......but you are feeding back into grid? I'm confused
It's a small amount that gets feed back to the grid. It is the start for a future larger system that will be off grid.
ghirigoro.....
3:05 1200 watt for the whole day? THAT is so LAME!
It's a start.
3:20 - i think you completely don't know what are you talking about...
I was kinda confused on his too...1200 watts per 24 hours would make it pretty much useless. It is indeed capable of putting out 1200 watts continuous under optimal conditions. Probably would never hit a full 1200 watts though.
Very few wind or solar generate there full capacity unless in optimal conditions. But it produces something.
That's totally normal. That's enough to recharge two 100Ah 12V batteries from 50% charge, which is a typical small setup.
