That genuine excitement you have about solar is a big reason i watch a lot of your videos.

[jimsmij]

Will, don't worry about producing shorter videos. What I (maybe others too) want is comprehensive "how to" videos that hold my hand through the whole set up of a unit like this. I appreciate that this is more of a review video. You do an excellent job of explaining the details. Don't compromise the quality of your videos just to make them shorter.
As always, thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work!

[jzt]

If I got nothing else from this video, I loved how you explained how to equalize the batteries.
But, of course, there was so much more. Thank you. This is wonderfully informative. I'm so glad that you've recovered your health to do all this for us.

[General_Direction]

Great job Will. Your style of presenting is bob on (good in UK terms!) We don't need fancy intros, music, drone footage...just to the point. Keep it up.

[raywharton]

Being able to switch to grid power when the inverter is over loaded is such an excellent feature. Perfect for a very small system that can supplement grid power, offer modest emergence back up, and is pretty cheap to get going.

[heathbarnett]

I love when Will gets annoyed or pissed off! I can’t help but laugh.... He just cracks me up!

[skoto.power.systems]

I have used the 800VA, the 3000VA PIP2424, and now using tha PIP3024GK, which is off grid and it works flawlessly. Thanks for the review.

[westcocoagorilla]

All those features with an automatic transfer switch makes this unit very attractive. It is not surprising that with all those components in one box there is a fan noise issue. Thank you for taking the time to review it, very informative.

[werewolfalpha]

Will's wrist-rest for his keyboard speaks volumes about his character. Really enjoying your videos, Will. Thank you!

[andrewtherednecknerd]

I was looking at buying one of these for a 48V off grid solar setup. I couldn't find a decent review anywhere else. But this was exactly what I wanted. Very appreciated.

[DriftKingToBe]

Mate, LOVING your videos.
I started watching your videos almost 3 months ago and in that time, have now built my own 500w / 24v full off grid solar system. This is all setup on my good old Transit Campervan haha.
I went with a Rover 40a MPPT Controller out to 2 x 12v 148ah AGM Batteries [series] out to my 24v 1200w/2400w Giandel pure sine wave inverter.
Even on a cloudy day, I can charge my laptop, phone, tablet, led lights etc and still maintain a healthy rate of charge. ALL thanks to mother nature ;)
Seriously, a HUGE thanks to you mate because much of what I have learnt and created myself, has been from info I gained in these vids mate.
Maybe one day, I'll throw a quick vid up of my setup for yourself and anyone that may be interested.

Keep up the good mate.

Guys from my generation thought we were cool tech savvy being able to teach our parents how to use a Betamax video me just say, thank you for your videos.

[peter]

lol I had a similar unit in my house, turned it on and the fans drove me crazy, I chased it to the garage. Now I am ok!

[adamkuklych]

Yes the beeping is quite loud, best to disable them in the settings as you have already shown. I have a 24V model which can do up to 3000W. The fans are loud, I agree. If I am running under 150W however, the fans are not running at all. And yes, the transfer switch is a HUGE positive, it saves your batteries, it saves all the mucking around. I have had mine now for over 1 year and it still works flawlessly. NOTE: if you want to keep records of all your power in, power out, grid data etc, you must have it connected to a computer 24x7 and have the Watchpower software running as well.

[yohanalcide]

I love your videos but I really wish you would video how to fully install a van with lights/appliances/wall power connection!! This would help out a beginner so much more! No one on YouTube had done this!!

[lasidora]

Hi Will, I've been using a higher power version of this - MPP 5048 MG for a few months now, I use a 2kw solar array & a bank of 48v flooded lead acid batteries (21kw) I have mine in the outer garage & it is wired to power the entire house, during the day it can run up to a max of 5kw output, I purchased a 2nd unit with a parallel kit & have yet to install it to give a potential 10kw output supply, I have come to the conclusion that my flooded lead acid battery setup just does not have the potential power density that a lithium iron setup could provide, so it limits the amount of time my setup can provide off grid use here in the UK, the fan noise is a small price for component longivity at the end of the day, I removed and turned my fans around to force cool air upwards to increase thermal efficiency & it and it made a big difference to operational temps, nice video by the way.

[Debbzvanventure]

This is awesome!!! I have your book and will be building my solar system in a few months. I'm good with following diagrams and putting all the pieces together BUT for me, calculating usage needs in an issue. My brain shuts off when I have to look at all my devices and find watts, amps, volts and mega-jizzy-fuzz fuses. Reverting to 3 year old tantrum on

[NelsonReyesJr]

I am going to mount that monster in my military vehicle that I use for use as a first responder, which is 24V also. Thanks for the great videos!

[gonecamper]

Great video. Yes, the all-in-one advantages are massive for the vandweller. Many vans pack along a small inverter generator to power heavy AC loads (tools and appliances) and charge batteries in extended cloudy weather. This system handles everything they need! The price is right, too!
