What can you run on a 100 watts

100 watts. what can you run on and do with a 100 watt solar panel.

This is the first fully useful, most informative and explanatory short vid on home solar planning I have ever seen anywhere & I've been searching for a very long time. The best 3 minutes and 30 seconds ever posted on youtube. Nicely done!

*The solar panel is compact and **Generater.Systems** very portable. Excellent for any camping adventure.*

The school I went to says that two 6V batteries wired in parallel (Pos to Pos and Neg to Neg) = 6V out, and if they are identical batteries they will double current output capabilities. If you have two 6V batteries wired in series (Neg. to Pos.) this will give you your 12V output. But the maximum output current will be whatever the ratting is for just one of the batteries. So two batteries connected in parallel = double the current, and two batteries connected in Series = double the voltage. Both circuits will double the output power. Ohms law says where P = Power or Watts, I = Current, and E = Volts or Electromotive Force. Then P=IE so if we double our I or double our E we double our P.

Thank you. As a woman alone on a farm in the mountains of a backward country, I have struggled to understand the capacity of my system. All explanations I found or heard were far too technical and complicated. Your explanation has solved my problem. Quite simple and logical really. Experts like to feel important with their jargon.

Real-world advice! Sometimes when I watch videos on solar power I think "that's nice but what did I just watch?" Here, I remember.
Thanks.

He threw in the Xbox! Thanks brother. A guy needs certain things if going off grid!

[MrPunjabiBatman]

Literally after days of research this one video answered the most important remaining questions I had left. Thank you SIR!

[ericsmith]

hey man you taught me more in 30mins then 3 days
of literature. thanks for the video man.

[emzirek]

that is the most elegant way of telling us how this works thank you

[andrewfriman]

Totally agree, after turning off loads of "look at me" vids this guy was a breath of fresh air.

First ever simple explanation of how to use solar. Ty!!

[dankramer]

I enjoyed this post. It has some important information. There is some things he forgot. He didn't mention an inverter. This is a must if you want to run household appliances. Every appliance should have it's wattage rating on it. Simple addition will tell you how many appliances you can run at one time. One Advantage of the solar is that you can run many things just no all at once. In my house you can't run anything when the water pump is on. When it is off you can run the waffle iron or anything. The total wattage of the inverter will tell you how much you can run. Just total up the appliances you want to run, write down the wattages of things you want to run at once and you know what size the inverter needs to buy. A 100 watt panel is a little on the small side but will get you started. He mentioned a 225 A. H. battery bank. This is a hourly rating. This is a rating to tell you the battery size and is calculated by discharging a battery at a 20 amp rate. The time it takes to discharge tells you the size. I have been on solar for 15 years. WWW.backwoodssolar.com is a very handy web site. Good luck.

good video. This is how I started.. Then I added a second renogy 100w panel... now I plan on adding 2 more 6v golf cart batteries and I just upgraded to an mppt controller which will squeeze an additional 20% or so out of my panels.. this is in a popup camper... I bought my batties as "blems" for $50 a piece because they sat on the store shelves too long..

[LeonAllanDavis]

First video on the subject I've seen with usable information...practical advice...good job...

[johnivy]

Awesome video. Simple and to the point. No one else has a video like this. Most videos go into ranting or someone trying to prove they are/is smarter than us normal people LOL Thanks again, the video is awesome, and it is very informative.

[grantgardner]

This was really helpful. Great video bro!

[UGCshakinahstouch]

Thanks for sharing... I needed to hear that....your explanation was simple and to the point 😊👍

[rcflightseeker]

Finally someone that tells you what you can do with 100 watts and a few batteries it gives us all a little idea of what can be done!

[TheShivbabber]

Thanks for the heads up on the output of the panels !! I have a 150W Photonics universe (uk company). They really helped me get my head around the power usages without too much maths. And you should do more!

[SuperDeut]

Finally! I unerstood someone on watts and amps! Thanks! Awesome 3 and a half minutes!
