Corrections:
-Leg should be "line". Or live, or hot. Line is probably best term here in America. I have a huge book I've been reading on inverter circuit design and it always calls the hot leads, "leg".
-Total cost is $1100 plus $400 for shipping. So $1500 total, oops I totally forgot about the shipping cost of the byd pack. It's $300! But it's flat rate. That increases the price substantially unless you buy multiple packs or do a local pick up. And inverter is $100 to ship. Still dirt cheap.

-circuit breaker is rated for 120 amps. Run inverter to the max!

I think that's all I missed. Thanks to everyone pointing this stuff out. I try to mention everything as fast as possible, but can be difficult.

I worked for a power company in Florida back in the day and someone did a diy grid tie system with a generator. One of the storm duty crew employees was killed by the back current in a downed power line. Thanks for pointing out that you need to do grid ties right Will!

[morkovija]

Prices are dropping before our eyes. This is amazing! At least we have something going in the right direction

You just gave us a video for the very system I'm building! Bought the green MPP Solar 24v unit after your first all-in-one review (though not backfeeding) and am about to buy the battery module which I was interested in because the "raw" used BYD cells had difficult technical challenges and I'm a newbie. You're the best, Will. THANK YOU for making us wiser and greener!!!

[jameshathaway]

Just wanted to let everyone know if you use this charge controller you can't set the low voltage cut off like he shows in this video. You have to set the battery type to "user defined" before you can change the cutout voltage. Thanks for the walk through will. It really helped me set up my system.

[radiotaccommunications]

This is exactly what I will do for, my house build only in 48 volts. Thanks Will...👮‍♂️

Non UL listed equipment in an off-grid / no grid tie situation may work in some counties but not in others. You should be able check on-line for the requirements or call the permitting office. Another consideration is if you carry home owners insurance how this would effect your policy. A fire caused by non-UL solar systems, particularly DIY power walls, could provide the insurer an excuse to not honor the policy.

I am learning so much from you! I am very thankful we don't have the money to pay someone to install a system for us that doesn't change the need for solar backup as well as prepare for the inevitable need of being put on oxygen before I pass away being I have a terminal lung disease that cannot be cured.
I am going to install a small system independent of the grid to run a couple of TV's, refrigerator and oxygen machine plus a few lights. The big stuff runs on LP gas so very little need for anything gas operated with the exception of lighting burners and running fans on the furnace and one 6600BTU window unit air conditioner.

Omg this totally saved me tons of money running power inside my ManCave along with my storm shelter/ bunker! Great video pal!

[realfreedom]

What about for an RV re: the MPPT controller?

[dabbydoodle]

I talked to an Old Order Amish who said ALWAYS install a Lightening Resister. He learned the hard way. Burnt his building down, costing thousands!!! Can you show us how to install one in this system PLEASE!!!

[P_RO_]

Will, if this got any simpler the system would install itself. Great vid!

[fudogwhisperer]

Can you do a video on how to connect duel system so you can have 2 hot legs in your AC panel?

[BradIXXI]

Dude!! I freeking love your videos. I am learning so much from you I feel guilty.... Keep up the good work, it is very apparent that you love what you do.

[jedics]

I just got my solar working after a LOT of head scratching/buying parts/putting them together and I still don't have grid charging so to see how easy you just put this together kind of makes my eyes roll. The only thing my system has over this one is being able to double the amount of solar when I want but I guess this set up just needs you to go buy another inverter and plug it in....

[philipp]

Just ordered the combo.
$675 inverter
$880 battery
————————
$1555 total with tax and shipping. Just a tad over that $1100 mark.

[johnwera]

You make lives work for basically free. This is invaluable information.

[jamesnobles]

i follow you with everything and watch all your movies, your my go to man for solar, enough said, ,

[abiolaadeola]

Thank Will, you are the BEST, among the REST.
Your HONESTY was what drawn me, to your channel, and now, I'm HOOKED.

[markshelton]

Thanks for this! Might be perfect for our off grid cabin in the mountains of Colorado...
