Off Grid Solar System Primer

[d_real]

I had to look in many different places for information on how to properly set up a Off Grid Solar System. Some of it was very confusing and most resources didn't cover everything I needed to know or was too vague. I have made a video that I hope helps people put together a system from start to end, either large or small.

Very nice job on the video! Well done.

Very nice job on the video! Well done.

You, like everyone else, interchange watts and watts hours. I think I heard you say "amp-hr times volts is KILO Watt- hours

Those two criticisms aside, best video I have seen.

Oh, and I like having a separate dc system out for lights, etc.

Stressman has to much info in his head.

Nice way to put together a primer on DIY Solar. I understand more (sort of/the math is still a challenge) and am more confident I can put something together for me needs.

Nice job.

Yeah, I often find myself interchanging some of the terminology (watts/watt hours), but I hope the idea still got across enough to help people build a system. Thanks!

I thought it was a REAL great movie. Any alleged terminological mixup is lost on me. I just thought it was metric and made no attempt to concentrate on the details.


The way I planned all of my offgrid systems was to buy a bunch of stuff and hook it all up and run with it. Too much power was ignored and too little power was alleviated by more buying.
