Awesome vid and set up! I too was originally inspired by the solar vid london1817 posted!
Yer not gonna believe it, but, your solar vid was one of the first vids i saw here on utube that inspired me into setting up my system! oh yeah!! yer chanel rocks, I watched allot of yer vids a while back and i love what you’ve done over there. keep the great work bro.
Man!
has anyone told you…you are awesome!!!
I wish you were my next door neigbhbor.
Really cool man…useful & clean setup.
I wish mine was that good.
5 stars… rock on……………Rick……
megacool. i’ve been looking for something like this. thanks!
nice setup g
Its a very simple and informative video. What was the total cost of the system?
nice setup man
kept it simple and easy to understand
going to build a silimar system myself however i was also going to add a wind turbine for the winter. Our winters are only 59 F or 15 oC on average.
nice little setup you have there. Any upgrades since you installed it.
liking the set up :) I firmly believe we ALL need to be doing this, If you had one side of the roof of your house covered in panels you would have all the energy you need.
The initial cost is the bummer, but i hope people learn to see the long term ecological and financial benafits of going off grid.
Very Good !!! 5 stars…
nice walkthrough of your system !
How much did the inverter cost?
hi x626 I have a total of $2700 . that is a bargain for 900 – 2180 watts before inverters any time on demand. I’ll never pay $20 a day to run a large generator again. The pay off is about 3 years or as soon as you build if it is your hobbie : ) people like us will have power when the rest are scramling for gasoline & over priced generators that are loud and almost never pay for themselves unless you make $ by using it.
@getjagged what is the total cost for all that? Have you calculated how long it will take to make it back? thanks.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
I have studied and researched for 2 years and now I am building my own system.
There is nothing wrong with a “hobbie that Pays for itself ”
I am ordering 2 small turbines 4 solar pannels and 2 -1500 watt inverters. 2 four battery banks @ 12 volts. 1 charger controller. and a $150 grid tie inverter as my dump load. a tiny 900 watt Gas powered generator for $120 new it rubs for 6 hours on 1 galon of gas to provide extra power and charge as needed
Coast?
Hey nice job .I’m setting up a solar system at a remote Island in Canada it will be consisting of 10- 125ah batteries off eBay reg 300 a piece for 50=500 and 2 x120 watt solar panels for 800 of eBay a 3000 watt inverter for 180 off ebay and a 1500 watt wind turbine for 250 and all the cables 75 and power controler 30 so as all you can see with a little bit of knowledge you too can buy and save if you shop around go green from K.B IN MICHIGAN
Very thorough explanation. Thank you very much. I’m looking at setting up an entire system when we build our new house (totally off grid). Solar energy will only be part of the mix, we’re also planning on using a water turbine. What type of appliances CAN’T you use when you’re on alternative power?? Thanks once again.
how much it cost all of equipement i,m from spain
Very cool demo of your solar power system. Have to agree with chemeitor1′s comment though, I wouldn’t get that past the wife as a finished installation either ;-)
Good stuff nonetheless!
why dont you use 12 volt batteries?
Tell her you’ll buy her something with the money you save! :)
works just fine for me – anywho, can you run multiple things off of it at once? or do you need a bigger inverter for that?
YouTube is not working. The video does not load up. What’s wrong?
Hi,
Nice system but you don’t pass the quality test in regards of well-finish. In other words, my wife would think that is a botch.
Regards.
