Lightweight, Portable, DIY Infrastructure That Saves You Time And Money

This off grid irrigation system (OGIS for short) can run 1 - 12 DC Solenoid Valves with down to the second irrigation intervals (depending on the irrigation controller used) - all without needing grid electricity or having to change batteries constantly! By splicing in a small solar panel assembly with a diode this system can charge itself on as little as 2 hours of sun a day. This system is built in a lockable Husky job box and is pest proof - no rodents getting in and eating your wires!

Also integrated with a rain sensor, OGIS can be programmed and left to do its job without constant monitoring from you - because you have more valuable things to do with your time. The system in this video is built for a 3/4" input hose, but could just as easily be modified to accommodate a 1" line for higher flow rates and water needs.

I love this design. Only a 9 volt battery? Great. Any build video by chance?

OkI like it….
It’s kinda overkill
What I’m mostly interested in is wires that will last thru at least the 1st 7 year fruit tree cycle.
A shoe box size just above the water or moisture line…with rat proof wire conduits….a solar panel…is pretty cool…
Tell me about the solar panel and 9v battery ….are they compatible?

What is the approx cost per 1 inch valve unit…?
Due to pressure drops and 50 plus emitters per string…my minimum valve is 1inch…..

The link to the "Fully Illustrated Step-By-Step DIY Guide complete with parts list" goes to a "page not found" message. Is this no longer feasible?

Did that small solar panel keep those charged well enough?
