not sure on solar system, i want to run two pond pumps 1/4 horse 3.6 amps and 415 amps is this system enough to run it or should i go larger , the pumps run 24 hours a day seven days a week , any help would be appreciated thanks in advance
Hmmm, don’t know if I followed correctly how you have everything wired but depending on what your whole household power needs are at night, you could make a power cord with two male ends, run it from the converter into a wall socket which would power your main breaker panel and therefore your entire house saving you from having to run the wire to the TV and such. Just make sure you throw the main switch on the panel so your battery power doesn’t go out to the grid.
@MrMatt027 Haha….I will try!
Looks like something my brother might make lol. Nice setup, just be careful with the electrical wiring.
Thanks man! I’ve been looking along that lines for my system.
@SunzofSankofa In this video I moved up to some golf cart batteries
from “Sams club”…6volt..68.95 us..Cheap and last for years.
What type of batteries are you using in this video? I noticed they’re different than the ones in the 1st. I’m in the process of looking for batteries now, on a budget, and the options seem endless.
@london1817 Hello, I’m glad to see that you applied the battery information well . Have a nice day .
@kricotoy 45 watts
question?
how many watts is u solar panles??
if any of you have sat there like me and calculated the amount of hours you can get when running things you will be amazed how much extra time you get if you use 10mm cooker wire everywhere possible..youl never use anything else again..even on circuits that draw very little currant..can simply add hours to an existing system
Rick just bought a 40 watt solar panel on ebay. Hope to add panels over time.
@aaronready1 Thanks man! I tried to do it the best I could!
nice man!
Harbor Freight Solar panel powers 2 bright lights and TV. Uses inverter, 2-6v batteries. eBay goodies.
@davettalashley Thanks but…. check out the updated video.
Thansk for the comment…..
Hey Rick, is it really not safe to leave the batteries inside, even if the box is vented?
Thanks bro…not as good as yours but mine works pretty nice!!!
I like the way you mounted your panels on the deck!!!! that is easy to work on if you have a problem…. or leaves….
right on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
nice update, great video!
cool, but damn man the noiseness, all the wireisms, and the costs for each componentment. Its almost better to have some quietry and less wireage
The wires from the panels to your Charge controler are to short so you had to use different one. What ones and size did you use? working on my own. Thanks Let Me Know…
I live in India.I would like to have a complete solar system design consisting solar panel,stock controller /inverter.cables and other necessary parts,to suit 12 units(KWH) per day of consumption.can some body help me with appx.cost and best reliable sources of supply . thanks.KNSASTRY
Well, if you install all your panels in a tracker, you can connect them to separate loads, if you wish, with independent cabling, however, having them aimed at the sun gives you more power. However, a tracker involves an additional cost, but at least in my case, I think it is worthwhile. I plan to build a more robust tracker and put up eight 100-watt panels, that will suffice for my home (I am using up 3.5 Kw/day) The rest will be for charging an electric car.
To add more solar panels to your system, the initial concern is a charge controller that can handle the amperage from the total combined output of all the solar panels. From the look of the 35 amp Xantrex charge controller you have your system could handle just over 500 watts total of solar panels. Your battery and inverter parts of the system don’t need to be touched if all you want to do is add solar panels. I’d say go ahead and add them.
Rick, do you have any voltage and wattage data from your system? Specifically I’d like to know what type of voltage and wattage it put out when you first installed it and how much voltage and wattage it currently produces now that it has been running for some time. BTW, how long has it been since it was installed?
