I truly admire that there isn't a single company that owns you. Your opinions come from your vast knowledge that no one can question. Thank you Mr. Prowse

[johnb]

Thanks to you, today is 30 days off grid. Two Power Queen 100 ah, two SOK 100ah.
Separate from one another with a two way marine grade switch. Only 400 watts of panels
Of which I hope to add to this coming year. I’m 58 so Thank You young man. I’ve always wanted to say that.

[skaraborgcraft]

When there are so many people talking shite on youtube, this young man is gold! Never let your standards slip or your put a price on your integrity.

[frankshort]

That's what I like about this young man he keeps it simple when it comes to building these units

Really appreciate and enjoy your DIY videos Will, especially when you revisit your roots and mention DIY budget minded systems that would work well in a off-grid motorhome, or RV. That said, and while I know how you feel about ever owning another motorhome, I think if you made a few videos that discussed what your most "ideal" DIY motorhome battery and rooftop solar setup would actually be... I think such videos would be a great addition and a huge hit with your subscirbers.

[emailausdrucker]

Omg. These are the best Videos ever from you.

[souporlouis]

Wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. I got started by watching your videos years ago and 2 years ago I built my own 6kw storing off grid style solar array and it has been going strong till this day with no issues. Learned it all here..everything from proper wire gauge, hydraulic crimping, sizing..everything. I use it to run my homes window ac units. Thanks again keep doing what you do!

[danemmerich]

Wholly Crap Will, you are always making people change their minds because of your Knowledge and Expertise. Every time I think I know what I want, I see another video of yours to change my mind.

[ianhemphill]

Being able to get 220- 240v AC for use with EV charging and welding etc is important to some people . You should do a video that steps this system up to 240v AC output. great video. keep em coming.

[maderightamerica]

I'm going to opt for the simpler version and get an electrician to help me with the install. You finally have what I want in a system. The solar input is what concerned me. This system blows away the competion from all that I have been viewing. God bless you Will. You just made my day brother. P.S. I will be buying two systems, one for each of my homes.

Excellent video. I do IT work and recently (as in today) just ordered an all-EG4 setup. The 6500EX-48 and a single EG4-LL V1 server rack battery to match. The bonus was that EG4 will give you a 5-year warranty on the inverter when paired with an EG4 battery. This LL battery has a 10-year warranty which was nice for us b/c we're powering a Server Rack and are using this setup to deliver a consistent load of 3200W that runs 24x7. I will hook it to the grid for input power but have the option of adding panels and more battery to get longer UPS run time and pay back for the cost of the setup by offsetting power consumption costs. This setup cost me $2950 and the equivalent all-in-one units $3500 for budget systems (5000 VA) to well over $8000 for name brand. All I need is a backer board, and a disconnect on the input and battery side, and I"m in business; so maybe not 30 minutes, but well under an hour.

I literally bought the delta pro with solar panel and extra battery that was on sale. Saw this video a day later and canceled my order. Thanks Will, saved so much money! 😂

[diySolarPowerFunWithRay]

Thanks Will! I built an awesome system for my RV with a Growatt 3000 and a 48v server rack battery... similar to what you mentioned here. This is the video that convinced me to do it! So glad i could rip out that old 12v AGM battery!

[michaelshimoide]

This is an excellent video that I wish I had the opportunity to see much earlier. I could have saved over $4000 on a Ecoflow Delta Pro with a 400 watt folding solar panel. Both are sitting in a closet right now. The great news is that your website taught me where to buy the LV6548, where to buy rack mount batteries, and how to set it all up. I left that 150 volt limit in the dust and could not be happier. Blackouts will not ruin my day, and I can expand whenever I feel like it.
The expansion units for the Delta Pro are also expensive at $2799 each for just 3600 watt hours more. Additional rack mount batteries for the LV6548 will give you 5120 watt hours more for about $1000 less each than the Ecoflow option. Since it can be charged from an AC outlet, I will mostly likely bring the Delta Pro out for outdoor activities. I found 3600 watt hours woefully inadequate for a home office. My Toshiba window air conditioner runs at 700 watts, so the battery is drained in about 5 hours. That is without running lights, charging phones, or using devices like a TV or computer. Thank you very much for your resources and videos.
I guess timing is everything. Signature Solar was out of stock months ago, but it looks like their inverters and batteries are available now. If I could afford to assemble a 240 volt system today, I would buy from them now while they still have stock.

[charlesjohnson-bgvr]

I just picked up and finished with the 3000 EG4 and a EG4 battery build..total cost $2325. Put it on a 600lb dollie. Right now charge with 6 250w used panels. Ran down to 25% and charged back up today to 100%.

[goaliedude]

I'm just starting out. I make decent money and was interested in this kind of setup. I'm absolutely in love with what you did here. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to spend some time to look around at other components but I just wanted to say how perfect this video was. Thanks so much and I'm glad to have found your channel!

[jaymercado]

goodjob will! DIY doesnt mean you have to make your own battery pack or get a bunch of skechy battery packs like Jehu without warranty and just get those server batteries (with warranty) and all in one inverters! thank you will! you are still my #1 hero!

[SmithOffGrid]

Love it, amazing video. Can't get any clearer or simpler than this! +1 for the comment about a RV build with an EG4 3000 and a EG4 server rack battery. This is my exact setup. 1000w of solar on the roof, 3000W inverter output, and the 5.1 kWh battery is a killer setup for a small RV. Going to be creating video walkthrough of my system soon. Thank you for all the advice and solar tutorials. I've learned SO much from your content! :)

[dominique___]

I have two Delta Pro + Extra Battery setups. I love them, mostly because of the plug-n-play feature and I'm electricity challenged. When I bought the EcoFlow, though, it was the kickstarter deal and the best bang for the buck... at that time. The more I'm watching videos from you and a few other YT content creators, I'd TOTALLY go this way instead.
