Solar Panel Setup, Off Grid (FULL SETUP & INFO) - PART 1

Solar Panel Setup, off grid setup. In this video you see me connecting 2x solar panels to a PWM Solar Charge controller (MPPT charge controller can be used) and connect cables from the battery to a inverter and also connecting cable from the battery to the charge controller.

Please make sure you do your research and you know what your doing before attempting to setup yourself (your solar setup is at your own risk). Ask for professional help if your unsure of what your doing.

I will look to change from a PWM charge controller to a MPPT change controller and add another battery and more solar panels over time. The whole setup here may change as time goes on.

Nice setup, safe and very informative video. Thank you. 👍

Nice informative video.

Though I have some remarks about the fuses/circuit breakers.
1: This type of circuit breakers are rubbisch! Better to use proper (ANL/AFL) fuses and switches.
2: Fuses should be located as close as possible to the power source (never more than 8 inches/20cm.But a battery terminal mounted MRBF fuse is the best and safest). Mounting your circuit breakers so close to the charge controller is of little use.

Choose fuse amperage to be 1.25 times the max expected load and max cable current (the lowest of these two.).

Great video! I went with a slightly more expensive mppt charge controller which allowed me to run higher pv voltages with panels in series with less cabling

[MikeJones-rkun]

I cannot find any information on how to use an AC charger to keep my batteries up while using solar panels?

[angelandres]

Really neat instalation and layout, thank you

[LubomirGeorgiev]

These look like pretty serious cables for not much amperage

[johnscopes]

Hi mate good video. I bought the same inverter as you in the video. When I plug my my laptop charger or phone charger with the 3 pin plug it makes a continuous beeping sound. Even when I use my van battery or my leisure battery

[ExioElioCabreja]

can I use it for fridges and laundry??

[leonine]

What size cable did you use from battery to rhe controller please ?

[OliverCampbell-fx]

What size braker did you use on the inverter?

[customrd]

Hi what Amp Breaker have you got between battery and 230v inverter ? thanks

[Cosmicnomadzaa]

Hi, great video, I have a question where did you get the little switches on the cables ? 🧐🧐

[andic]

Great video! Can you leave the inverter switched on all the time? Where did you get those breakers?

[winghingtang]

Thanks for your video. I prepared nearly all the same components as u showed in this video. I will follow your procedure step by step. Please check your breaker from controller to battery. The Amp is too small. Good luck!

[sercansimsek]

It looks nice, but the PWM charge controller costs you 30% energy and shortens the lifespan of your batteries by 40%. If you have an Mppt charge controller, your system will work healthy and efficiently.

Good video mate, links are for UK only. Thanks

[syedshawkethussainrizvi]

Hi kindly tell me for 1kw system what size dc circuit breaker’s do I need and for inverter out put what size ac circuit braver. Would I need thanks kindly reply thankyou SYED

[EL-iutp]

Can you tell me the watt on the inverter. Bought one just like it and will be setting It up. Tested with battery and it ran my refrigerator. Just odered 2 160 panels. Mine is from China looks just like yours. It says 16000 watt
But reading these inverters they only produce have the watts. Great video. The only thing i think I am going to do is run my panels in serious. But us the same set up and have a fuse on the negative side of the panel. That's what I am seeing in most videos.

[deranocasper]

Hello where do you buy your equipment cheers

[mrDADtheSecond]

So you have a 30 amp solar charge controller?
