Very Helpful for a beginner. I am an Electrical Engineering Technician. Recently retired after 38 years of bliss (Sarcasm…LOL). The parallel wires that came pre crimped from the factory for the inverter. I would say are ok to use. However for long term use. I would recommend a larger gauge wire in one run and scrap the parallel stuff. One thing I thought I would mention . Over current protection, be it a fuse or breaker. Is there to protect the wiring (As this is what would catch fire) and not the components of the system. I would also suggest that ferrels be used on the stripped wire when connecting to a device that uses cage clamp or screw clamp at the point of termination. If it is a screw on a bus bar or something (possibly a stud) a ring terminal is a great option. Your presentation is great! I just thaought I would throw a couple of things out there.
I always learn that Normally, first step is to plug positive red (inverter – >battery) and second step is to plug negative black (inverter battery)
And you do not this, is it normal?
Great video. I've not yet taken the first step on my PV journey, but this video makes me feel better about it.
Thank you for doing this
Hi, I have a well water pump that needs 12,000 watts to run. I have two solar batteries at 6,000 watts each. Is it possible to combine 2 solar batteries of 6,000 each to make 12,000 watts to run my well water pump? If yes, what is the setup to make this possible?
I'm currently using a 13,000 watts gas generator to run my water pump but gas prices too high. I want to use portable solar power station batteries instead.
Thanks for the informative video! Suppose you set up something similar, but minus the battery, would that inverter be able to operate directly with an AC load during daytime to draw power from the panel? Is it something that depends on the inverter itself? Thanks in advance.
Why didn't you install a fuse between charge controller and battery?
I enjoyed this video. It great when you find someone willing to take there time explaining as much as possible. After watching many videos I feel that I could make a power system. Thank you.
As a complete newbie, this is the most I've ever understood someone explaining electrical. I'm moving into a skoolie full-time and would love more videos like this!
wouldnt it be better to get a 1000w inverter as the max through put of a 12.8v / 100ah battery is like 12000w
Thanks! very helpful. And subscribed.
You are using a Power Queen. I approve š
Do you have link for watt resistor when you plug red + ? If battery is 300 ah what is value resistor need?
Good video. I had a similar setup less the inverter. You can get inline MC4 fuses. I would suggest putting one between the solar panels an the charge controller. š
What gauge wire did you use between the fuse and the battery. If the inverter is a 2000w. Should it be a 2 gauge wire.
To be honest some of these videos are just unsafe! Itās just irresponsible to say for demonstrations purposes weāll use this inverter which in reality is double the size a 100ah battery can power and weāll use this fuse which is not correctly rated and theses cheap double wired cables which should be thrown in the bin! People out there in YouTube land will buy and connect the same system based on what you have demonstrated and the end result will be a energy source, the first ancient energy sourceā¦FIRE!!!
This was a very informative video we appreciate the work you put into it.šÆš²
Yes sistemašā ā”ššš”
Thanks for the video
