Build Your Own DIY Solar Power System - Step by Step Guide

@BougeRV @litimepower @weize-us
Putting together a small DIY solar power system that would work great for a van build or small cabin or something like that.We're using a Weize 12 volt 100ah Lifepo4 lithium iron phosphate battery and BougeRV sunflow 30a solar charge controller, and LiTime 1000w pure sine wave inverter. For this video I want to keep it simple. and walk you guys through the process step by step of how to hook everything up. The following is a list of all the components in this video on Amazon.

Finally, a solar charge system build vid that answers the question 'what is a bus bar for and when should it be applied.' Believe it or not I've struggled to get the answer to this. Sometimes creators have one, sometimes not, and some even say that you can add one as an option but, no one was explaining the whys or whens. Also for the first I understand where the breakers should be in the layout. Thank you for the thoroughness and clarity.

The best diy solar power system I have seen yet without too much unrelated talking. Simple enough that a rock like me can follow. Thank you.

Pretty nice. Nice and slow and gives us time to absorb the diagram.
So many just, "I did this." at a hundred miles an hour

GREAT JOB! Been watching over a dozen YT vids on how to do this. This is the most clear AND most safe presentation.

Been watching DIY solar gen videos for two weeks. Yours by far the easiest to follow and understand.

[lrcvideoproductions]

Thank you for such a thorough and very simple DIY, compared to so many others that tend to be more complicated for beginners like me.

[YouLookinAtMe-Bro]

Nice little quick build there.
I just got into solar about a year ago and basically did the same build in a 20 inch Craftsman toolbox on wheels.
Thanks for taking time to teach others.
Liked and subbed.👍

Most clear explanation of the solar connections I’ve seen yet. Nice job!

Excellent best step by step I've watched spot on!

Thanks. Ill gladly subscribe. I need the most basic instruction imaginable

[chestercopperpot]

Thank you. Easy to understand and informative.

Where is the ground? To chassis? Isn’t that necessary for the entire system? And a fuse just off the + battery post before the switch? Everything I see shows these… just curious thanks

OK SOME SAFETY TIPS: Always use heavy duty DC breakers at the positive battery terminals before the wires go anywhere else. Always use a heavy duty breaker between your inverter and your batteries. Always use a breaker between your solar panel and your solar charge controller.. These breakers should be rated for the max current that will be drawn though those devices.. Keep your cables as short as you can and use the proper size wire that is rated for or even higher than the current that will be drawn through those devices. Check "amperage capacity for wire" charts (online) to determine what gauge wire that is required for your system.. You would be surprised at the number of DYI people who do not know what they are doing and end up with inverter cables heating up like a toaster element. Keep it safe.. do the research, use correct and safe wiring to avoid issues and a possible fire. More importantly, if you don't know what you are doing.. FIND SOMEONE WHO DOES

Big fan of your channel and when I saw you visited me I was flattered, I am new at solar bigger than 108 wh system

[hauk]

[JohnYoung-mj]

Hi thanks for the video, this one is ideal for us newbie’s very easy to understand and not to fast. I hope you do well all the best Jon🇦🇺AUSTRALIA

[ThePaulfullTruth]

At 16:30, why do you need a double breaker-switch for the panel lines? Wouldn't a single breaker-switch just on the positive line do the job? ...

[WeleMata]

Good pacing makes me understand every component and safety measures 22:26

Great job and good explanations on the whys and hows. Im putting together a setup in the back of my 4WD and will use your methods here for reliability and safety. Great video and subbed for more vids like these.

[Scarlet-Worm]

Thanks for the video; it would be more helpful if you commented on the cable and fuse sizes.
