  6. great questions.? you hook the batteries in parallel. meaning (“+ post” of
    1st battery to the “+ post” of 2nd battery. then “+ post” of 2nd battery to
    “+ post” of 3rd battery. etc…) do the same with the “negative” posts.
    then hook the charge controller and the inverter to the first battery in
    the row. if you have more than 6 batteries then search google to find
    detailed diagrams on how to hook those together. you can run the lights and
    tv on 1 or 2 sets of panels and 1 or 2 batteries …

  7. are these solar panels waterproof, weather proof, can you leave it out in
    the elements like rain etc? im new to the whole solar panel thing. I see
    many people use batterys as well, is this to always have continous strong
    power, and the solar panel just keeps charging the battery over and over?
    since different tools and items use different amperages, how would i
    provide my tool the correct amperage and voltage. do these kits let you
    provide the max amperage

  9. Lots of good questions. yes, the panels are 100% waterproof and
    weatherproof. they are meant to be mounted outside (permanently if you
    like). the battery is used to store the power that the panels generate.
    they are charged over and over again. briefly, all you need to do is hook
    the solar panels to the “charge controller” and then hook the “charge
    controller” to the battery. then hook an “inverter” to the battery. the
    inverter has an AC outlet on it. finally, just plug in what you want to run.

  12. takes about 8 to 10 hours to charge an average sized deep cycle battery
    (with one 3 panel set). i don’t think you can hook the inverter up to the
    charge controller (just to the battery)

  13. i haven’t had any issues. the charge controller works great with the 3
    panel set. if you want to hook more than 3 panels up then you would need to
    buy a ‘charge controller’ that can handle more amps. i have a 25amp charge
    controller hooked up to 12 of these panels. (earlier video). it doesn’t
    come with an inverter. you buy that separately. the one in this video is a
    400 watt one. cost $25.

  16. I scored one of those exact same solar charge controllers from eBay for
    seventeen bucks! It’s a fantastic piece of equipment. 🙂

  18. $150 for the 3 panel set with charge controller. battery was about $100
    (they can be bought cheaper) and inverter cost about $20.00

  19. … not sure about the fridge (that takes a bit more power). you might be
    able to run it if you had four 3 panel sets and 4 batteries. the heater
    probably takes 1000 to 1500 watts. that would take a bigger set up if you
    want to run it for very long.

  21. Cool video showing different things running with that system! Thank you for
    sharing!

  22. Can it charge a phone or other small device through the charge controllers
    usb port directly from the sun?

  23. hello can you provide more instructions on how to hook up the car battery?
    I want to try this in our community garden so we can use drills anytime we
    want.

  24. thank you very much for your help. I was always convinced that solar was
    way beyond my ability to understand, but because of your video and a little
    research, I am getting ready to equip my little fishing trailer. I
    purchased some 128W laminate solar panels and an MTTP (?) charge
    controller. any advise ?
