I have finally got the time to catch up on your videos as ive taken some time off from work to have a surgery ive been putting off for a while and the wife & I are thoroughly enjoying all the new videos you've uploaded. That's a nice set up you have in your shed Christian, you really know your stuff when it comes to electronics. Thank you for sharing 😊
It takes a little bit of learning and sone common sense but I got there in the end with it all. I do want to expand it a Brit more though! Probably 4 more solar panels as winter has been a sharp learning curve and possibly something bigger to put them on like a small cabin instead of a shed. I reckon by doing that it would save a bunch more money
@Christian Thomas More panels will definitely help your situation and we are so sorry to hear what your country has had to endure with the power and heating situation it's just not fair 😔 Wishing you and your family nothing but the best during the holidays and new year to come.
It’s pretty easy and for the most part safe. These batteries have safety measures in place. It took 2hrs to put it all together from start to finish. The hardest part was finding the parts lol I’ve added another panel this week too to get even more energy. I would say that if I got another battery I could live in the shed.
@@vacaydiaries 😂plan on getting the boot?! Very cool. Now buy a shade for the window, some drywall and a carpet w some floor pillows and you’re all set. 😄
I’m going to insulate it to keep things dry and maybe put some wood panels over the insulation. That’ll be about it. I do at some point want to get a cabin to go in the garden and put a lot more panels up on the roof. If I got that I would definitely do it up properly.
That's an excellent idea 👍 Christian!! Especially with the current situation and future. I watch a lot of off grid channels so I have an idea. Have you thought about insulation for the shed?? Maybe some tyvek?? Have you thought about using it for your house?? Might I suggest an EMP shield for your solar... It will protect against any EMP ( electro magnetic pulses). Some you already have solar panels have you thought about a portable power battery?? Oh yeah, and another battery is another good idea. A spare.. Lithium batteries are the best... Have you thought about prepping for food and water yet?? It's always good to be prepared for any emergencies!! Great job 👍 Christian!!
@@vacaydiaries Might need a vent of some kind as to circulate the air.. remember that the batteries have to remain at a certain temperature 🌡️... Otherwise they will die.. insulation is key...
That's a neat setup. Is that a Bluetooth Battery monitor I can see? I use one in the car but thinking about fitting one to my shed solar setup too, so I can keep an eye on voltages. Do you track volts/current etc?
Ok soooo the most important question is How much did a small setup like that cost you? My dad has a cabin by his lake that he hooked solar and wind to before they were "cool" but that also equated to it being a bit costly for a small cabin.
Hi just saw your video, only a year late! could you give us an update? Love solar, panels have dropped in price as have batteries, looking to have mine keep the outside lights on at night. Take care M

Oh crap! That looks so complicated. Seems very confusing. You are very talented!

I’ve got a power station and want to get another. I’m also insulating the shed too to keep out any damp. The shed acts as as a small larder too.

Hi, Great to see real domestic appliances running off grid and not just a few light bulbs. Do you leave the inverters permanently on?
That's a neat setup. Is that a Bluetooth Battery monitor I can see? I use one in the car but thinking about fitting one to my shed solar setup too, so I can keep an eye on voltages. Do you track volts/current etc?
Would it be possible to tell me the name of the all in one inverter, mttp contoller please. Impressed with the set up. Nice one.
I have to agree with kat pannell,100%
Not much room in there to spruce it up but I’m going as far as insulation and that’s about it.
Well done did you do it all yourself
I did yes. It was pretty easy to put together.
Ok soooo the most important question is How much did a small setup like that cost you?
My dad has a cabin by his lake that he hooked solar and wind to before they were "cool" but that also equated to it being a bit costly for a small cabin.
I think the whole setup cost just under £1000. I did it but by bit, starting off with a normal leisure battery. Half the cost was the lithium battery.

could you give us an update?
Love solar, panels have dropped in price as have batteries, looking to have mine keep the outside lights on at night.
Take care M
Still working 1 year later?
How much cost vs how much saved?
Why have fuses from your PV to the charge controller?
Are you aware that after all that spend you generate 50p a day maximum ..
