Good job on the video. Helpful. May i ask what size refrigerator?

Good job using 74 ODST

Im an 11 yearold and I'm the only one who,plays halo

save yourself a lot of heartache and money. mpp sploar makes all in one units. EG4 also makes all in one units. i spent a fortune on solar . and ill swear by mpp. i bought 2 units and 5 years in. best bang for the buck. i got 26kw worth of batterys now. and 3 units. one is a growatt. its junk. lol. they run ac units all summer and heaters in the winter, as well as freezer fridge computers. its been a long road and a lot of wasted money getting here.

I live in Tucson, Arizona. We have so many rabbits rats and mice and chipmunks. I have a small ac unit in a pottery studio next to our house. On the regular I spray Pine Sol or peppermint water around the outside unit to keep the rodents from moving in. So far, (7 years) no big issues, it has kept them away. FYI. 👍👍🌵🌵🌵🌵

build a control circuit. screen

Not to nitpick here. Why not just run your heat off the battery directly? Why pass through the inverter at all?

Use shou shogi ban on your wood to keep it from rotting.

Do you charge the battery with the solar panels?

The invertor on top of the battery is scarey. How about below? Since you cranked it up to 220 volt how do you run the fridge. US 220 outlets use to hots and a neutral. Did I miss the 220-110 at the shack?

.

I would have took the money for cinder blocks and got ground contact 4x4 and some concrete to go with your cement mixer in the background and concreted those into the ground.

The insulation you installed in your battery compartment wont do ny good if it has air infiltration. If air can flow around the insulation it will be worthless. that compartment must be air tight.

You forgot do drugs and drive fast😂😂😂

Having built one of these myself I would suggest the following. (1). Ditch the cheap charge controllers they will cook your expensive batteries. Go Victron its worth it, you have the option of using a Rasberry Pi to manage the system and you can add relays to automatically turn things on and off using logic rules for example turn on a heater/cooler when the battery is full. Victron can also be set not to charge your batteries when its too cold. (2) voltage drop is always going to be in issue over that distance so why not connect both solar new solar arrays in series and send 200v 2a up the hill to the shack and have the inverter and battery bank there. That way the battery bank will be kept warm in your heated living space. Voltage drop increases with the current draw. (3). Lay the cable in conduit. (4). would have been better to connect your 2 new arrays together and counterbalance it in the middle rather than hinge and the bottom, that way you can make 1 much stronger frame. (5) and this is the big one get that thing properly anchored into the ground or it will blow away in the first storm. - With solar they are called opportunity loads rather than dump loads, you will need a way of testing the generation conditions by turning on a load and seeing if there is enough solar generation to run it without putting the battery into a discharge state. Also Bi facials are expensive, used 260W panels are super cheap now so much so I have used them as a roofing sheet rather than buy OSB and felt. Good luck with it

A few comments. A single 60a output MPPT would handle all your panels if they are charging a 24v lifepo4 bat bank. I installed a Makeskyblue one on a boat, which now costs $85- $100 and can handle 1440w PV power going to 24v bat bank. Generally 95% eff and max PV voltage around 110vdc- so wiring with serial /parallel arrangement is needed. There are other brands as well. The PWM? controllers are efficient in some ways, but waste pv power if the voltage is more than approx 30% above the bat voltage (32v to maybe 36v for a 24v bat bank)- so if PV voltage going to a PWM is over 32-36v, you are losing charging power. Bifacial a good idea- more power per sq ft and they tend to shed snow when sun starts to shine- reflected sun hits bottom of panel, produces power and heat and heat melts snow. Some DIY solar homeowners have found a combo of angled bifacials and vertical ones (one side faces E, other side faces W) improves the overall system efficiency by catching early morning and late afternoon sun.

Why don’t you cut the ring flush with the model so you still have the border but you are not inside the ring

I just love the aesthetic of massive war machines being destroyed and abandoned for years with nature taking over. I just enjoy seeing it a lot.

Mount some reflectix on a sheet of OSB or plywood and place on the ground under the back of the panels.

Looks good.

Awesome project.

You don't need a dump load, you just need to configure your charge controllers properly. I see you are using several different charge controllers and if you are triggering an overcharge condition and the BMS is shutting down, then lower the charge settings by maybe about 0.2v on each controller. Those cheapy blue PWM controllers are terrible for this and quite often allow way more voltage out to your batteries than they are supposed too. I've had to throw away a few of those things because of the voltage spikes getting through. I know money is tight, but I would switch that out ASAP with something a bit better or eventually they are going to ruin your batteries if they are over charging... But all this dump load talk is not what you need to do and is more necessary with really old wind turbine type stuff. Get a REAL mppt (not one of those blue ones that look the same and are marketed as MPPT because they are not). Good luck.

A cheap power dump would be a hot water heater. Wire it up with a circulating pump in a closed loop system. When the batteries get full it powers the hot water heater and the pump which will circulate the water to cool it down so it can be heated again. Of course you need the right charge controller to control this circuit and an insulated building for winter time unless you put the water heater in your house. I saw it done in a foreign country where the whole village ran power from a water generator system consisting of three water heaters, one for each generator. Of coarse their system took the water from the river then dumped the hot water back into the river.

If you placed mirrors under the array you could bounce sunlight onto the back of the panels.

Electric water heater is a great dump load and gets you free hot water, or at least helps to heat it. heating elements are available in any voltage and cheap it's easy to convert them.. You went to a lot of trouble to get max from your panels and it's getting wasted with the cheap controllers.. Get MPPT controllers.. You seem to have all the basic info and you'll learn about implementation as time goes.. You SHOULD Shower everyday.. AND, hinging the array in the center (like a teeter-totter) instead of the bottom hinge like you did, makes them much easier to adjust the angle every month and also to dump the snow if needed.. possible problems Blue tarps are NOT water-proof.. keep an eye on it... That 12 ga wire is going to catch fire.. make sure it's fused and feel it from time to time,, if it gets hot,, you have to do something. Wire is expensive so always keep an eye out for deals new or used...

Most people watch solar videos to see the wiring 🤣. I'm just saying.

The end result looked great! You did an excellent job of covering up/handling your “oopsie” with the ring+resin. Have an awesome weekend!!!

Yeah an electric water heater would be that giant electric draw you were talking about.

What is the source of the water? Collecting rain? Nearby stream?

For the excess energy problem, couldn’t you just have a switch disconnect the panels automatically over a certain battery charge percent?

Oh that's some Michael Kiwanuka playing at 1:50. Loving to see the progress bro, keep it strong!

Fuck yeah, just left the Matrix

Your video are amazing, keep up the good work!

You can never ever have to much building material on a homestead. I hoard it like a jealous dragon and always find uses for it

I've built a few catios because I love my cats and getting ready to build one for a to cat I rescued! I love this !

glad i finally followed you 👍🏼

I'm really curious to see how you do the shower

Hell yeah

you’re doing what everyone says they’re capable of but don’t got the balls to actually try - kinda reminds me of into the wild except without the stupidity of mccandless’ death. can’t wait to see ur property grow more and more sophisticated with time cause this shit is equally great as it is impressive

Why didn't you use a house jack or a screw jack?

Next time instead of paint use a oil well the stove is hot. Its probably cast iron and when cast iron is coated with oil wrll hot it turns black and also helps prevent rusting. Think of it like a cast iron pan

Where does Dio get his name?

Nice job What did you use instead sand?

Bleach does not deal with mold in any shape or form.

Love the YT long video format, that's what I was missing from IG. Keep it up, good luck out there!

yay new update! Does "waterproof" flooring mean the tiles themselves wouldn't be damaged by water? It sure doesn't look like that seams between tiles are waterproof.

Your shack's own 1.6 update 🌈

Love your videos ...keep on going!❤️

Mabay it's on scarif

One man band. Never easy doing it by yourself 👍
