  1. I wish I had seen this when I owned my home. I want to set up a solar
    battery system to power a pump for a small water fountain or two. I have
    one now, is a 120 V~ 60 Hz 5.5 W 0.1A pump. I’m sure it would be a smaller
    scale setup. ?

  2. WOW the simplest and most easy to follow video yet
    Thanks for that I liked it. I can go to all the other guys for the tech
    bull but come back here to make it in common sense?

  3. Which Group size of battery is best, also is it worth it to pay more for a
    maxx battery with 2 year warranty versus the cheaper one with only 1 year
    warranty??

  4. I got a battery operated scooter which got 48v 8amp li-ion battery and it
    charges up from main grid via a charger which takes input of 130 watt at
    220 V and outputs -56V,1.8amp…Inconsideration to above informations I
    would like to use the smallest possible flexible solar panel with this
    device (i will mold/stick the solar panel on the seat of the scooter) with
    the easiest possible way.Can you please guide me what sort of solar panel
    would be the best to approach with specification?
    Update : I want a built in solar panel on my scooter?

  5. I would like to do a setup for my new chicken coop which does not have
    electric. I want to be able to run a couple of lights . How do I know how
    to set the panels to get the best light. ?

  6. I heard that using batteries from forklifts or golf carts would be better
    and last longer. Thanks for the video though, very informative and cleared
    up a lot of things for me! Two thumbs up! ?

  7. There should be educational systems everywhere teaching this stuff. Thanks
    for sharing your knowledge so people can learn better ways to do things.?

  8. So, how many watts/volts does it take to sustain a full equipped home. i.e.
    Fridge, two freezers, TV’s, cooler, etc. etc.?

  9. I have a quick question. I have two scooter batteries that I hooked up to
    a 700 W Power inverter, but when I make the connection to the inverter it
    makes this nasty whining sound, Any idea of what it might be? the
    batteries are 55AH, 12V?

  10. 101Ah for $75. Damn here in Australia batteries cost way more than in the
    USA.

    For instance $75 USD is like $81 AUD. But the cheapest 100Ah batteries I
    can find in the country are like $185 AUD. This is why I haven’t gone solar
    because the batteries cost so much here.

    Solar Panels themselves don’t cost that much here. I can get for instance a
    200W solar panel for about $230 which I consider to be pretty good. I don’t
    know what you would pay for a 200W in the USA though. ?

  11. Finally, a simple and accurate explanation of how this works and how the
    connections should be made. It was really nice the way your video showed
    the connections from start to finish, in that order. Your the only person
    who had enough sense to simply followed the wires back from solar panel in
    order from connection to connection. I am not sure how the the other
    video makers even got their stuff to work based on what they were trying to
    explain, so thank you for getting it right, making sense and putting and
    end to cycle of stupidity I had to endure. ?

  12. diy solar system consists of panels, inverter, two car batteries in
    parallel, charge controller, and a digital voltmeter?

  13. Very nice and easy set up you got going on there desertsun02! I plan on
    following your solution but with the renogy 100watt panel and the solar
    controller they sell with it too. Just wondering, will this solar kit and
    two deep cycle 12 volt batteries be able to power one pump that draws .23
    amps over night? How about two of the same pump? Cool channel also by the
    way…you got a new sub here, thanks for the shared information.?

  14. What type of wires did you use? I have a 200w panel I’m hooking up to two
    115 ah batteries. Thanks in advance. ?

  15. I have a question that i cant seem to find the answer to on youtube that
    maybe you might be able to. Im doing some research on everything eco when
    it come to home building, and ive recently gotten into ac/dc powered
    fridges and freezers, all of them state the you can purchase a solar kit
    with it but what I am trying to figure out is how one of them works
    considering i know nothing bout ac/dc batteries. When using ac/dc batteries
    with something are you having to remove the battery, charge it, and then
    replace? or can a solar panel be directly wired to the appliance itself to
    constantly recharge the battery??
