  • This is for entertainment only. Projects like this can kill you and must comply with local codes so do your own research before starting one. This is a quick project to help me justify building a larger power backup system mounted on a trailer. This shows how I assembled the system to allow me to track and monitor operating a single appliance on 100% solar. Starting With 2 440 watt panels and a 100 ah 48 volt golf cart lithium battery. With power outages in our area and last months jump in electric prices hoping to make a system to learn from. No affiliate links until these parts have run a while and I feel they are reliable.

    Very nice. I built my first cart 5 years ago. Then went to a box. Everything worked well enough that now I have a 1600w solar setup with 400ah of lithium battery backup and 2000w pure sine inverter. Which turned from back up power to being ran every day. Always on the search for more power and usage out of it.

      Thanks. I figured it was time to get started with all the power outages we see and now they just raised the electric rates on our last bill. I bought 5200 watts of panels that should realistically provide 8 to 10 kw daily and looking at 2 6000 watt inverters for the final trailer build. Still waiting for battery cost to drop before deciding on bank size. We get many cloudy days and that's the killer for total solar around here. I doubt there will ever be a payback with battery costs but fun playing with it. Thanks for watching.

    GREAT plan!! Any power backup is a good improvement. I am in the process of improving my power backups, and plan to add more solar and storage capacity over the coming months/years.

      Basically I just want a power source for the fridges and freezers along with enough to run the well pump for emergencies that doesn't require a gas generator running. It will also be portable and won't get my house insurance canceled like a permanent install can. Thanks for watching.

    Good morning 🌅, URHC, that looks like a great project, a friend who lives in the uk as solar panels fitted to roof of his house, it’s connected to the main grid, he gets free electricity all the year round, and added bonus sometimes gets a check from the electricity company, for the electricity that is put into the grid, I was watching somebody about two years ago the solar panels were connected to a device that swivels and tracks the Sun so is in constant direction, interesting project be safe keep up the great work, France

      Here it's getting harder and harder to get homeowners insurance if they are permanently mounted. I don't trust the lithium batteries with all the recent fires. Those solar trackers really can help. Thanks for watching.

      @@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Good morning 🌅, Yes, I agree with the issue with batteries, There has been so many car fires from what I have heard and seen, due to them sorting out overheating, Good luck with your project, France.

    U get that trailer done u will never want another electric bill again... Server rack batteries are getting cheaper every day.. We been off grid for 10years fixing to buy 48v eg4 batteries and sell our 24v system. I want MORE POWER 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣... Keep it up brother and yal be safe im thinking worst times are coming but we never know....

      I'm looking forward to getting going with this. I am considering the eg4 inverters and eg4 powerwall heated batteries and will probably go with 2 of the 6000 inverters and 4 batteries eventually. Having the generator for fast charging when there's no sun should help with winter outages. A windmill would help with our winds off lake Ontario in winter. This stuff definitely isn't cheap. I think we avoided worst times a couple days ago and the future looks better now. We will see in November. Thanks for watching.

    What scope is thst? Looks very handy

      It's the FNIRSI DS0152. It was a cheap $25 basic scope that has worked good for looking at inverter outputs and simple debugging. I want to get something better someday. Thanks for watching.
