DIY SOLAR GENERATOR-BUILD VS BUY

Brief overview of the components it requires to build your own DIY solar generator. This is a budget build. Not an all inclusive how to guide. Comparison between factory built solar generator to a DIY build. Pros and cons of each.

Fossibot power station put a $200 off coupon code since filming. So it’s $1299.99 not $1499.99
Extremely close in price now!

Link in description!
Thanks for watching!

Great stuff and info. About how to make it at home system like this, Thanks for showing and All the best for you

[andrewlarson]

Great job, not enough people spelling this out. Thx

[bobbader]

Fuses, breakers, shunts, and on off switch is the hard part for me, very nice system!

Hi, one of the better and simpler setups Ive seen to date, well done.

[wherami]

Cant wait to see that tear down. Will be very interesting

I built my own basically the same except I built my own life po4 lithium battery pack 3200 wh..great video, have a blessed day.

Thank you! SP1 has been gracious enough to help me decide on my power needs. I’ve settled on a duel fuel inverter generator and will soon be getting a lil bit small portable solar power system. Thanks for all the important information!!

I wouldn't have known about you if i hadn't been watching SOUTHERN PREPPER 1

Great video very informative. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless you and yours.

I would like to a description and explanation of wires going to from and to each component. Most of it you can see but some of it is jumbled up or hidden by other wires.

[HiddenPrepper]

Very impressive and I watched yours and SP1 video on this project.

Guess for a little more money for 2000 watt inverter. Plus make sure you use 2 Guage for 12 volt system. Bigger power ac input if able for faster charging if you wanted. But nice to watch for more insight.

[ECHO]

Thanks for this. Just what I needed. New sub

[DeebeeNonya]

Great job explaining the build, it's components and how it's comparable to a pre-built model. Personally, the pre-built model would be the easiest to setup for short-term, but long-term the DIY one might be the better option, if I was comfortable with working with electrical systems. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[roniniowa]

This was a well explained proof of concept video thanks

[Tri-Lobe]

Very good video I enjoyed the video and the proof concept

Great example of a good budget system. There are so many good options for these systems and the modular nature of serviceability and upgradability of the home built is really excellent and fun if you are a tinker'er . The all in one is definitely a great solution too and for a lot of people may be the best route due to its simplicity portability and being plug and play. A good upgrade path for this down the road, or even a similar system with higher quality more efficient and moderately more expensively priced components would be Victron SmartSolar charge controller and Inverter and shunt. The Victron gear is more expensive, but pretty reasonably priced, Victron's interoperability via Bluetooth networked Victron componentry integration is really excellent. This budget system is a really nice place to start if you are looking to learn and have a serviceable scalable and upgradable solution.

[Swamp-Fox]

That is a nice little setup. I like the home built system myself. Is that inverter modified sine wave?

Your video is informative .. .. .. .. but can you put out a electrical schematic
