Man I nearly flipped when you said you can run guitar amplifiers for the whole day on that setup!!! Woot Woot! Off grid musicians😊
yeah, the rest of the world really needs that.
Hey corndog, thanks for watching! fellow musicians unite! I have a great time when i get down to my off grid living tiny house, i hook up big red and take it out to the beach, get together with band mates and jam . I take total of 400 watts panels with for power. great times. thanks again for watching!
I lived for several years without utilities. You can survive if you try, that's what I tell everyone. your bed is a sofa. Very well insulated then on two sides right? Ok, now long johns. regular street clothes. A heavey hat, Winter coat, Then 2 blankets and 1 comforter. Hide your head under and leave a little passage for air. You will wake up sweating.
The rest of us are living like savages and this man is living in the year 2095
Lol .. not at all. Its a very nice setup but almost anyone can do it.. if u dont know how just ask (almost anyone)
Just keep hot wires taped off (and, or solar covered up so it doesnt make power) until youre ready to plug it all up.. very simple and fun todo. 4 wires in and out of the solar controller.
Panels are Indian givers with out an SC lol... theyll give power, then take it all back at night .. draining your batteries worse than u began with lol .. also overcharge batteries and ruin them over time, pretty quickly.
Be sure and have an SCC
Some people just don't have the right guidance, if they did everyone that's single would be living in one of these instead of paying thousands of dollars, and we would be able to get ahead of the system since saving is almost impossible now adays
When the collapse happens, this man won't notice!
@@dave1-iz210 the zoning laws are what’s the problem. Most towns & cities have a minimum structure size of 800 - 1000 sq ft. Tiny homes can be a secondary residence outside of a larger home, but that is a hurdle most can’t overcome. We need more friendly zoning laws.
@@Ethan.s.. unless they want to get into it with the tribes I highly recommend for them to go home with their public servant behinds and analyze their whole entire existence if they are in north America. That's just the nice side.
I need help to run ac and elec in my yurt!! But I dint have outlets.
You're awesome. I need this energy in my life
Nice job 👍🏼 . And very simple and easy 👍🏼
Great video. I just bought a 29 foot rv trailer and live in west texas. I have .35 acre of county land and will be building to be off grid
I just moved there about to get me a rv too bro!
Living in the year 2090 you have an electric heating blanket, but it also has conditioning. So if you want to save energy at night you use your electric blanket in A/C mode. Wall mounted A/C is so 2020s.
Love it!!Thank You for the video!
Thats a cool setup you have there I like it 👍👍
can you put in the discription how many batteries you have, and how much AH they are example 50 100 300 400AH,
how many solar panels you have and they are at 100 watts? They look like polycrystaline.
That’s a great piece of art and inventionmenship
This is impressive he got some skills no ordinary man can do that
Almost everyone can for instance i know how and im only 14
@@2crayzlol. Exactly. 😂😂😂😂😂
Fantastic, the ladders were perfect.
hey sholland, thanks for watching! yes, unique set up. glad you like it!
Nice work
Double Thumbs up!
Thanks 👍
Great product...
I've been wanting to go solar but must have my guitar amp. Thanks for the info. Awesome setup
Let me know when you’re ready to Jam!!!!
How many watts solar panel do I need to power a air conditioner that's 500w ?
Hey Lermer,
Thank you for watching! I use big red for gigs as well. Take to festivals, beaches, parks. I always take 400 watts with for power.
Looks awesome, I'm going to do something similar. What temperature is your AC set at?
Awesome
Yes to the amplifiers man thank you for that!!
Hey Jason, Thumbs up! Its great to see fellow musicians play off grid!!
For heat, have you experimented with using a black infrared lamp?
I'm curious, I didn't hear or see if 2 batteries are 100ah or larger or how many watts of solar panels. Also is the AC unit 5000btu or larger I think it looks like under 5000btu! Probably around 500watts draw? Thanks!
Are the panels connected in series or parallel, and what about the batteries?
What all is needed for this setup? What batteries do u have and which inverter?
👏👏👏👏🙏 awesome God bless....
I like it
Can't you build a fireproof enclosure for the electronics and what size circuit breaker do you use
How many input watts can the controller handle?
What a great inspiration! Thank you so much for the video. Very politely, I wanted to ask, how many batteries you think I may be needing for one 25000 btu window air condition (3000watts) and two Extractor Fan Blower (1040 watt for both) and an industrial humidifier (3000watt)? However the humidifier and fans will not run all day continuous, only the air condition would. The fan and humidifer, again, will run one and half hours every four hours. I would use all three applances only day times, say from 7am-8pm daily, no night usage of them. And I live in texas where the sun is super hot in the summers. Please advice me on how many batteries and panels I will be needing for my project. Again, thank you and for your response in advance.
That's 7040 watts per hour those are on(just added them all up). So the next question is how many hours will you run each device? When in doubt, go for higher hours (aka duty cycle). If you have 100% duty cycle on 7040W that's 168,960 Watt/hour(or 168.96 Kilowatt/hour) for 24 hr cycle.. which is quite a bit. You always want to add a buffer on solar and make sure to include everything when figuring out your daily use. You can google your zipcode for how many "sun hours" there are in your location. Then for the battery pack, you need to decide how long you want to have power if you don't have any sun(I call it standby power). If your in Arizona desert, you probably don't need more than 1 day standby power. If you're in Northeast you may want 3 days standby power.
Ex: If you have 5 sun-hours in your location then you should size your battery for 5X max rating of solar panels. And you want 2 days standby power. So lets assume you need 169Kw per hour(for everything you mentioned) 24/7 use(100% duty cycle). Battery would be 169Kw x 24 hrs x 2 days standby= 338 Kwh. Solar panels should be 169Kwh / 5 hr = 33.8Kw solar needed. Its a lot cheaper to oversize solar panels, than to have a big battery.. but you do need standby if you wish to remain 100% on solar. For batteries, Lithium Iron Phosphate are the preferred chemistry among a lot of tiny housers/RVers. RUclips search "Will Prowse solar" for more information on batteries/solar and he does go over everything I just mentioned in one of his videos. He's got several solar systems at his house, and he's charging multiple electric cars from solar which is pretty cool.
@@Geoff9001 where are you getting 168.96/hour.. it'd be 168.96/24hours...
Also you're not taking into account inrush current and having the power at hand when the AC cycles on, which it will do.
@@michaelcohen9363 yeah quickly glancing over my math it looks like I accidentally multiplied it by 24 twice. Thanks for the catch! Btw for original commenter, I recommend hiring a solar company to do a true load evaluation because it's impossible for us to estimate your power use without much more information. Are there south facing windows? What latitude is this solar array? Etc etc
You could bring a band in there 😂
He better hope those 2 caterpillars don't sting him
Very nice, what part of Florida are you from?
Hallo sir nice video what caind the air conditioning you got?
How many watts of solar do you have hooked up. It was hard to see in the video.
What brand of AC is that and size?
Look morty, I've turned my cargo trailer into a refrigerated trailer. We can can finally give the middle finger to the sun.
plot twist, sun decides to stop shinning... ur comment did get a chuckle. not mad not hating
lol
I've had trouble finding inverters capable of supporting a full AC even if small. What kind of inverter is this that's working in the video? He did say it was a 2000 watt inverter but not which maker, type? Thanks. Tried several inverters and they keep shutting off and not able to do a 400 watt AC... a small one.
How many solar panel use?and batery?
What charge controller are you using?
I just wanted to get some good ideas, the pavilion is interesting 🤔, gives me ideas, one thing I already know, that trailer is going to be so hot 🔥 in the summer, I guess the next video will be insulating the floor and inside ...I will be using 300 ah lipo. W 3000 w inverter 800 solar. Building from the ground up, 10x20
With lots of insulation.
Arizona.
You're gonna need more battery power if doing ac.
What brand of AC is that and size?Please!
What is the wattage of your air conditioner
Im using Avasva instructions to make it and I do it already :)
What kind of continuous power . With the inventor. O will buy one now
He's smart enough to have strong off grid AC !!!!! Seems protective to me as a female!!!!!! And he's the land owner next to there office dude!!! A smart lady could imagine boom boom with intelligent man like that !! Cus his girl would be chilling 😎 after storm while the rest of the city has no power!!!!!
What model is this air conditioner
How much of a temperature drop do you get
How do you have the Panels wired (Series or Parallel)?
Parallel
Would have been nice to know the specifics of the batteries.
Those are 2 basic, new car batteries.. around 60$ each at Walmart..
He's not even using deep cycle, or the expensive life batteries.. hell hes not even using 3 or 4.
Hes got a good get down there with that little setup.
The secret is how many solar panels hes running.
I got 3 of those cheap charge controllers and was happy to see someone else using them.. bought my first one Dec 2018 and my 3rd one last week. All from ebay for less than 16$ for this last, most expensive one.. others were 12$ each. They work great so far and like i say, i been usin em since late 2018.
This guy would have even more after daylight power by just addingn1 or more of the same type batteries.. getting deep cycle or Life batteries.
Peace
Forgot to mention.. the charge controllers i got .. the first 2 are 50A .. this last one is 100A .. they look exactly like his just different color sticker label. Even 30 or 40A is plenty.
@@koollee yes, I have some deep cell batteries and they last much much longer than car batteries. Car batteries were not meant to be severely discharged during the night
Great idea, Chris didn't tell us how many BTU's the a/c was and how many amp hours were in the two batteries. Have a great dry day. Enjoy your videos.
Hey Roy,
Thanks for watching!
I have video up stating everything you need to know about solar air conditioniers.
youtube channel - atlanticdrain
about 5k, i think ive seen the model at home depot. 5k on box
@@AtlanticDrain where is the video your channel is all over the place cant find it
Id say 5000 btu because of the size of the space and the unit is small
@@2crayzbouge rv makes a 2.5k btu, way better. It’s portable too.
I have some questions and maybe some help. I am trying to run a 12,000 btu split ac. can it run all night? and how many panels and batteries do I need for that?
A LOOOOT of them. Like 3000-5000 dollars of panels. 3000-4000 watts.
How many amps is this ac Consuming?
Nice job. Congrats. I did something similar once with $13 10' T-posts. That still up? The biggest threat to that set up is not nature, it's man.. trying to steal, destroy or report you.
Long story (optional read).. but FYI. I've tested 450W AC with solar.. IMO, it's not worth it and it's better to adjust your life to where you live vs trying to seal yourself in an air conditioned box. Florida is hot and humid, but there are parts of Florida that are cooler at night and where sleeping with some USB fans is not uncomfortable at all. Florid has no winter a blanket or sleeping bag can't fix. No wrong way to live, but I'm taking a very different approach now with just shade and fans.. lots of fans .. IMO, Off-grid is a great opportunity to get away from couch life. I'm building a tiny 4X8 personal, screened in pod UNDER THE TREES. It's a couch, desk, bed and counter. Corrugated insulated roof, but otherwise open screened. USB fans super ventilate it. Idea is to cook, eat, work and hangout outside under the trees, but mostly I find something else to do between 11am and 3pm...that's the best time to go out , have lunch, do laundry, go shopping, etc.. The pod is basically to sleep, couch and surf.. which unfortunately is an American pastime now. A single 250W solar panel perfectly situated away from camp in direct sunlight will charge a 48v 50AH battery that is not only my only power source for fans and technology, but also drives an eBike 100 miles and will run my security camera year round. Anyways, off-grid in Florida in July and August is brutal so I would try to van life in the beach or mountains those months.
I don't understand why you're 450watt ac didn't work out. As long as you have atleast 450watts of solar power while it's running I don't see how it wouldn't work if you have sunshine. I'm sure it would take a decent size battery bank to run it through the night but it's doable 4sure. I'd use about 800watts of solar panels so it could run and have enough power to charge the batteries for night time use.
How many amps does the air conditioning draw?
it must be a 4500/5000 btu 110v Window AC. must draw between 4 and 5.5 amps
@@curierfromxibalba1155 With say 5 amp at 120 vac draw equates to 50 amp draw on his batteries. I'd say his 2 batteries wouldn't last long even if they were each 12 volt 200 ah batteries. You wouldn't want to drain your deep cycle batteries more than 50% so you're only looking at about 4 hours of continuous running of that air conditioner. He said he had as much as 20 amps coming in from solar panels during a sunny day. That equates to 2 amps at 120 volts ac not including the loss to invert that power.
Best to convert your loads to watts and compare those watts to the watts being used from the batteries. Watts is watts regardless of the voltage. No conversion required.
How amps does a 110vac AC dra need when starting the motor? I'm wondering if i could skip the batteries. I only want to supplement my house AC. Cheapest way is to immediately use the power from the panels.
This is very good ideas for everyone especially homeless and going to school younger generations for a low cost
Does a solar power AC need batteries to start the motor? Or would only panels start the AC's motor?
Depends on how much wattage of solar panels you have but the panels can give enough power to start it although you'll need to run it through the batteries and inverter if you can understand that
oh man as the seasons changes he has to move it haha.... i love it tho
How many batteries and solar panels would i need to run a small deep freezer and house fridge 247 with a couple lights and a small window ac to keep the temp of a samll cabin or room at 69 to 70 with the chance of running a stove or electric griddle or burner
A very very large amount. You should consider cooking with propane because stoves use a high amount of current and you'd have to add several panels just for an electric stove.
Keep in mind 10 amps charge at the batteries (12 volts) is only 1 amp or less at the inverter output (120 volts). They didn't say how many amps the air conditioner uses. But if the batteries were 12volt 200 ah. 2 in parallel would give him 400 ah. You should never take deep cycle batteries below a 50 % charge so you have 200 amp hours available plus whatever amps your getting from solar panels. Converting that 12 vdc 200 ah to 120 vac gives you approximately 20 ah of electricity. That equates to running a 1 amp load for 20 hour, or 2 amp load for 10 hours. But after those time frames the batteries will be only half their capacity and will require a full charge to get the best life out of your batteries.
I see you understand how solar works. I don't see batteries lasting all night unless they're lithium and 300ah each. Lithium batteries can be discharge completely without any problems so he'd have all 600ahs available if they're 300ah each and I do think that may work
I'm guessing he only runs it during day
@@marvinsalee7134 one misconception is the longevity of lead acid batteries, maintenance free labels are simply patched over the maintenance holes to prevent honest people who don't have the knowledge of how to boil their batteries from doing so and injuring themselves. In the solar community however, I think that this is less of an issue since safety has to be learned anyway to run the system. If you safely learn how to boil your lead acid batteries they can last you 75 years or more if you're lucky using the proper machine for it. Now weight and space is your main concern when using lead acid if you learn this. Which is not really an issue if you are a home owner. Lead acid for stationary, Lithium for portability. My problem is I have studied the batteries more than the solar itself because at one point I was considering making my own batteries because of how expensive that they can get. overall lead acid is safer. You can mix battery banks of different types by the way but it needs a certain type of combining circuit. You shouldn't combine them in the same bank however. Combo circuit is basically a fancy filter capacitor in a very basic version of a mppt controller yet they are not the same.
Its an old but small window unit in a small place. The compressor as long as its set to 69-71degrees wont be one majority of the time. It only maintains the temperature. Thing is that nowadays the high seer splits burn even less current than that it can definitley work
Is that a mppt charge controller? Using one would definitely enhance the power coming in from the solar panels.
Yes.. supposedly. These r cheap, ebay Scc's.. i just got my 3rd one this week.. first one 12/2018 ..
They work great so far
Wana do this to run tv fans and lights cut back on electric bill
How do you keep food cool
Is the Ac unit to keep all the equipment in the pavilion cool? Is that necessary and what does the pavilion provide electricity to?
Hey Jim, Thanks for watching. The air conditioning is helpful and is necesarry in the hot summer heat here in florida to maintain proper operation of he power systems. They would over heat and shut down under full loads of 15-17 amps 110 V AC ( current capabilities)
COMING SOON, power from the big red power station SUPPLIES 2 camp sites on property as well as solar pump well power!! check it out on youtube channel atlanticdrain. Thanks again for watching
Great vid ! Ty4Sharing
Love your guitar jammin` on the vid. How can I get a copy of that music ?
Wolf (from Dade City, FL)
Woot! From Dade City as well!
How many btu's is that ac and can you do a test of how many of them you can run on that setup?
That AC is 5,000 BTU. And my 5,000 BTU AC uses about 500 Watts when running. But it is also 15+ years old.
Does the ac produce condensation, that you can harvest?
That’s the question every ask! I will do some research
can you do an update video with specifics and links to ac unit
Please check with Chris about specs. As far as I I know the unit came from Walmart. 5000 BTU. It’s the inverter that makes things run.. 2000 watt inverter from harbor freight. Here is Chris’s channel on RUclips
ruclips.net/user/AtlanticDrain
He has many videos about his
hide-a-way
If I would do this I would run my panels in series to get approx 50 volts via solar into a MPPT charge controller. The batteries would be hooked in parallel for 24 volts. The inverter would be 24v.
The advantage would be smaller gauge wire and more efficient charging… Big, high gauge wire for a 12 volt system will cost as much as pure sine wave 2000/3000 peak inverter. Furthermore in my experience the wire always seemed to heat under 12v systems at high loads as it is difficult to make low resistive connections. Otherwise good build.
Makes sense because of the size of the building. 5000 BTU ac is supposed to cool 150 sqft. What size is that trailer 6'x10' ? So the AC only has to cool 60 sqft instead of 150 sqft... assuming he closes his doors. An AC is going to maintain whatever temperature it is set at, so if it takes 500 watts per hour to cool 150 sqft, would it make sense then that an area of only 0.4x the size would use approximately 200 watts per hour? He says at one point the controller is taking an input of 14 amps. Voltage from the solar panels I've been looking at recently is between 17-22 volts. 14x17= 238 watts 22x17=308 watts.
why did you not use a 48v DC air conditioner?
would like to know how much is drawn . I thing a small ac about 4.5 to 6 amps?
hey spyplane,
thank you for watching! The Air conditioner uses 475 -600 watts so, yes 600w / 120v = 5 amps on start up then drops to about 4 amps in run . Still runs great today!!
Are u using a 2 - 12 volt 100ah lithium or AGM batteries? Also, I guess u can run the AC with the back door closed or what?
It looked like lead acid flooded batteries to me.
What about a propane heater?
Next do yourself a huge favor and upgrade charge control asap. I started out with same you have and I dont wish that on anyone. Otherwise good job.
I smart female would recognize the integrity and intelligence of that but also he owns the land !!!!!!!!!!!! Preferably a man like him a Batchelor land owner. Would explain in the first few dates. And then if not comfortable camping on the land go to hotel.. or her place..then they can build together whatever she/they want!!!!! Any smart lady will respect a owner more than a renter anyday!!! Don't hate dude!
Hey elizabeth, right on! all my life and a day to come up with this one.:)
1 horsepower = 746 watts of motor is 100 percent efficient single phase Walmart acs are only 50 percent efficient and probably have 1/4 horsepower motors. Depending on unit. So that wold be 1500 wats/ horsepower 1/4 horsepower needed to run ac. At 120 volts 375 watts/120volts = 3 amps@120 volts or 30 amps @12volts. If you use an inverter run ac it works more like a 3 phase motor and is between 70 to 90 percent efficient. This would mean you only Abe to put in 900 to 1200 watts to get same horsepower. Divide that by 1/4 horsepower and you would save the extra you spent on ac by needing less panels and battery’s.
Do u play guitar on that little Crate amp? Where abouts? I just ordered a 5000BTU Frigidaire for my Cargo Trailer. I'll be heasding out soon looking for musicians to jam with!

Hi you're off the grid living with Doug I'm in my 2000 Chevy van the middle of the Arizona tattoo right now temperatures 122° in the Mojave but no problem the little f****** $2,000 trailer in the back is now at any temperature want I'm running solar panels in a generator and I have the temperature at about 65° here in the middle of desert and this is year round this is perpetual free energy that's the sun is powering my generator and keeping my air conditioner cool for no cost at all note that I've already bought the trailer for $1,000 I have a stove refrigerator septic tank bathroom toilet shower everything imaginable and I'm running that I bought that you said it on sale over here in Arizona once a year at the denials market I just picked it up for real cheap brand new appliances so I got your shower I got your chemical toilet I've got your refrigerator I've got barbecue got any hot plate I got a stove I got a oven I'm cooking your turkey and I'm doing it all off of solar power okay we only go from there but you know the interesting thing is I have six acres out here it cost me $3,000 for six acres the interesting is my trailer cost me two grand my my Chevy van only cost $900 interesting thing is how cheap am I living out here well I am living for free hard to believe and is it rough out here no I have I can go down to the in Arizona here there's a shopping center and I can get anything you want at Allison's restaurant buddy so I mean there is everything out here the beautiful lake is here we have a couple beaches out here Sunny white beaches and we have a beautiful lake out here and just gorgeous and you just live for nothing out here and you know the cost of five acres here in Sacramento California it's about 500,000 but over here it's only about $3,000 upwards maybe you can get the premium property if you want for 39,000 for 5 acres you can get anything you want out here plenty of land plenty of you can get you don't need a septic tank but if you get any thing you want out here if you got money I mean if you want to hire somebody and all that you know and
Where can I buy this please?
Will it run the A/C during the night ?
With only (2) batteries ?
I've got 15 DC , Sun Power 315's for sale with two inverters. $4,700. In NJ You pay shipping or pick them up.
Good luck selling
That air conditioner Im sure is at least 400 Watts so if he can't run that heater he shouldn't be able to run the ac. I'm sure he doesn't run the ac at night on the batteries he had there. Pretty cool though. I run a ac myself when the sun's hitting the panels but not at night or cloudy day's. With enough batteries and panels it can easily be done though
22 amps. Cool.
my ac wont kick on the compressor due to the spike
I have my doubts the two batteries can run an air conditioner all day on solar if they were capacitors and yeah I believe it
Did you see the part where the area was littered with solar panels? Im sure he is intending the system to primarily be powered by the solar panels. batteries fill the gaps on both ends of too much and too little power production from the solar.
I don't think there's any reason A/C, refrigeration and freezers couldn't easily run off solar power because they have start capacitors, right? That's what provides the surge of power required to start a compressor, isn't it? And capacitors charge practically instantly so why do people assume they can't run cooling devices off solar?
in case anyone needs 6 (100 watt solar panels) - 600 watts total watts solar panel (polycrystiline) mono crstylline is better
So, in my part of the world. we really REALLY need the air conditioner to run, so is it possible to set my house us with an air conditioning unit running at night? Because you kept repeating that the air conditioner will run all day "as long as there is sunshine"; but how do I get it to run even at night where the temperature drops to say 25 degrees C (77 degree F)?
You need batteries to keep it going through the nights . But remember the batteries needs to be changed but it still can go dead before the night is over because it's not being charged from the moon 😂. But that's how it go's . Get like 10 batteries Big ones like truck battery
Can you run the a c at night time
Not with 2 batteries
Could be two large batteries with many watt hours.
Prople don't understand that devices are not running constantly they do cycle off and on the fan may run all the time but not the compressor. Same with a well pump. I had a co worker run his well with the old harbor freight solar panels that were only 15 watts a piece for a total of 45 watts. He used a deep cycle battery a harbor freight inverter and three solar panels plus the charge controller. 73
I desperately need your advice! Everyone, feel free to advise me as well.
I had 2 men working on the solar system in van.
They replaced the batteries with a LiFePO4 12.8V 78Ah and a 12.8V 35Ah 448Wh.
They installed a Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V Input, Power 2500W, Output 120V.
I also have a Victron Smart Solar Charge Controller, MPPT 100/30.
When the electrician hooked up everything sparks began flying, the system got hot, and he has given up trying to set it up. I have no solar power now in my van, which is my home.
Please help! I can't waste any more money and I have no idea what I need. Thank you.
