Great Information! thanks for sharing.
Not familiar with the 104′s?? We use the 105′s on the energy system at the hunt camp (see later videos), and they do very well. Pushing 4 years on one set of T105′s, but they see intermittent use (hunt camp).
Are the L16′s better than the T104′s?
Trojan L16′s on the batts. Controllers are C40′s and Inverter is 4024, both Trace, now called Xantrex.
Thanks for sharing … What brand of batteries are they? Brand names on the controller and inverter?
Four looks a lot like three.
It’s nice to see somebody else had the same idea as I did! I just finished wiring my generator to my house, and I wired my house. the solar system will come slowly as the money comes.
For people who have the money you should look into a “Universal Power Supply” UPS. on some pages you can calulate how long the system will last when the batteries are fully charged. You could charge the system with sunpower for a week to use the power for some energy consuming activity.
12 volt suffers heavily from line losses so wiring runs usually need to be fairly short. The loss is greatly decreased with 24. Usually 12 volt is used for smaller system, 24 for medium, 48 for larger. Sorry for the simple answer, wanted to make it easy to understand. Robert
What’s the advantage to having a 24v system instead of the standard 12v?
Congrats on getting started! Yes, you got to take care of the essentials first!
Where there is little sun in the winter, a genverter becomes more important. Rather than purchasing and relying on something that can break or consumes limited and perishable fuel, we’ve chosen a variety of lower tech means of lighting. Candles, kerosene, and propane options allow one to use what ever might be available in the future as well as provide redundancy.
I’d also like to come up with an inexpensive and easy to built DC alternator power by a bicycle set up.
Looks like he has plenty of power there. We’re just getting started and until it is large enough, we’ll have to limit it use to running a water pump and recharging double A batteries for LED flashlights and other essentials. Occasionally we’ll be able to plug in the T.V.
Would like to have more, yet it does take care of the essentials and there are other priorities more important.
It’s a good CHEAP way to get started. Glad the videos helped ya, thanks for watching! SR
Think I will do as you suggest, startup with a genset and slowly build up. Excellent video’s thank you.
This is true! Thanks! Great channel you have by the way!! SR
A messing something is better than a clean nothing.
Good job guys. Keep it coming.
