In this video I wire up this solar box and do a little testing. Spoiler alert. This box turned out amazing. With its 3000 watt inverter, …

Hey bud, do you have the cooling fans oriented, one blowing in and one blowing out?
I want to build a system like this, but with a 30amp RV style outlet. Good job!
that very nice cool love it build my own DIY power station 3000 watts 48V 120AC 60Hz love it
It turned out incredibly! Adding interior lighting is something I hadn't considered for my build.
For $3K, I would put a GPS tracker on that bad boy. Incase it ever got stolen!
I might go back and swap out all the plywood with Polycarbonate, for a less flammable material, and possibly lighter weight.
Will it power multiple refrigerators &/ freezers, when the power goes out?
You forget put speaker
i should learn to make this
So was this cheaper to build compared to a similar solar gen u can buy such as a jackery or eco flow? And how much did this cost to build?
How much would it cost me to have you build me one?
What lights did you use inside the box?
This is great info. Thanks for sharing your build. Im getting ready to start this project too but with less bells and whistles and no relays lol. I've been debating on 12 vs 24v, after watching this, im now leaning towards a 24v system with your 12v solution for the accessories.
Great tutorial! I am making my own power station at the moment using some old 12v PS Sonic batteries.
8 years as a electronics technician in the military. Now six years in as an electrician. I wish I had you as a father. We would build all kinds of cool stuff! So this idea is great, convenient and portable. However its got me thinking about a larger scale. What about a cross over tool box in a truck? Larger battery bank, PV arrays mounted on the lid. Maybe a 12 volt compressor and tank. An external air chuck. WP GFCI outlets. A slave cable slot for jump starting. Set it up to where the trucks electrical system powers a charge controller for the batter bank. Build some sort of integrated headache rack with task lighting ran off the batter bank. External lights that illuminate the bed. Just throwing out some ideas
Amazing job bravo
In process getting all the parts for a similar build .. nice build.
Your build is absolutely beautiful, and so well planned out! I've gone thru a couple of prototype builds myself. My most recent is the most polished so far. I used it to power my ham radio gator box all day at summer field day. Running radios all day, standalone (no external solar or other charging) it only drew down to 13.09v. I bit the bullet and went with a 100 ah Power Queen battery that has a built-in on/off switch on top. My sort-of vision is modularity, eventually mounting my 2000 watt inverter in a separate detachable box on top, for situations where I don' need to have it. Also have 3 charging methods – A/C to DC, DC to DC (from vehicle system), and solar. I opted to use 2x12v panels in series with a 24v to 12v solar charger to maximize the charging potential on less-than-jdeal days.
Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the good work!
It's been a long haul but I'm finally done building this Packout power box. I want to thank all my subscribers who patiently waited for this video to be released. You guys are awesome.
