I've been doing this stuff for years. I'm very safety conscious. I like your instructions, clear and plenty of good common sense safety tips. You are doing a real service for our community.

Took a plunge today and bought 2kW of panels, integrated MPPT/Invertor just like this one and 2x280Ah batteries, all things from your channel so if it doesnt work it is all your fault:) Thanks for great videos great content and cool style, keep them coming:)

[eastsideeddie]

Small tip for anybody who might struggle with putting that cover back on. Tape it in place with a piece of painters tape, put the screws in, take the tape off. Done.

I'm following you're lead bro. I've been homeless most of my adult life. I recently got myself a 2001 313 CDI Mercedes Benz long wheelbase high roof edition. I'm going to start a YouTube channel soon to document my living in the van while fixing it up for full time living and travel around Australia and show my adventures in some of the most beautiful places. Thank you so very my for your inspiration. 🐸☮️💖🕉️

One of the great things about your videos is the editing. I absolutely love the way you cut out all the cruft and just leave the meat. Every Youtube DIY producer should take lessons from your videos.

[luisarteaga]

Such a simplified way of introducing the lay person to a DIY solar charging system! Love the vid

[arminius]

9:34 "so you don't have to worry about permits or anything else". those are the key words I was looking for. Thanks for providing the info to this vital component of becoming less dependent on power companies!

Only 2 years behind this video, but i order today 24V inverter at the same company product. Let's see how that works. Thank you for these great educational videos, they help me very much.

There's a 3rd mounting hole under the cover on the bottom in the middle, between the circuit board and battery terminals. No need for VHB tape or a strap. Great video!

[casalino]

It does has a mounting point on the bottom, remove the cover and the dimple in the center has a hole for a mounting screw (min 7:07). Alternatively, we can drill holes on the dimples on each side.

Will, I have been researching RV life and just want to say after watching 100's of video's I finally came across yours. Thank you for all you do. You have taken the fear and confusion out of trying to tackle my solar on my future RV or Van life. Your a good man and I will buy your books soon.

[ftS]

thanks for the great tutorial. i have done my 3.5kw 24V inverter setup today and it works perfectly.

[imchris]

I have the 24v version it has been running for 2 years my brother has the 48v version and it has been going 5 years they are good systems

[bobsmith]

Out of all the how to videos I've watched on YouTube yours are the most informative articulate easy to understand you deserve an Emmy Award best performance in a series no pun intended

[DimaTkachenko]

Solar gets easier and easier with Will:)

[yitbarekyigezu]

You have such nice ability to teach. The video is simple and the mile you have gone to make it easy is excellent. Thank you

[ravil]

Couple of hints ;)
1. It would be nice to note that different countries use different colours for AC wires. So anyone making the connection should verify this before connecting or they can damage or burn down something.
2. When making the connection it is good to pull slightly every wire after tightening the screw. As sometimes the terminals can be tricky and the wire stay lose resulting sparkling, heat and fire. If the wire moves then pull it out, unscrew/open the terminal and reinsert the wire.

I have the 5K watt 48V 230V model and it does have a foot on the bottom left corner which you can screw down to the back board. As instructions warn against screwing the unit down onto a flammable material, I used 2 inch spacers (metal water pipe selves), to suspend it off of my backboard.

[PlatinumDiscos]

After watching this video I bought a 48v 5Kw version of this and now I have 4 of them! Been a steep learning curve but thoroughly enjoyed doing this.
One thing you didn’t mention was to put a circuit breaker on your solar panel input. Can you do a video on lightning protection!
