    For everyone suggesting I just dig a trench from my house and run power to the office…
    We live on a solid rock. That’s the reason our property is elevated 30’ higher than everything else around here. Trenching here is incredibly expensive and requires big equipment that doesn’t make sense to bring in just for one simple trench. It’s so hard to dig here that the only underground utilities on our property are the water line from our well, to the cistern, and then to our house, and then one single outdoor faucet. We don’t even have water lines to our lawn, and I have to run a hose across the driveway from the well house to water it.
    Then we have our septic line, which has to run all the way down the hill to the lower corner of our property because they had to get down off the rock to be able to put a septic field in.
    So a solar setup is the only real logical option for power in my office.

    Rule of thumb for your solar panels is to angle them to you Latitude South, since you are Latitude North. For instance, if you are 42 degrees North, you would face your panels South, and tilt them 42 degrees. You would then be optimized to the 2 Equinoxes, and your "fuzz factor" max wold be at the 2 Solstices, but in opposite directions.
    Look like a fun setup to put into an RV, but you'd have to find a way to minimize road spray coming up from below and messing with the electronics.

    Those anderson style connectors work well. I put them on jumper cables, and my small winch, and my trolling motor and the battery charger. I may put some permanent cables wired to my tractor and car to easily plug into the anderson connectors.
    Either building will take enough solar panels to run everything. And larger 300 watt panels are getting cheaper. I bought an extra slide mount for my e-bike battery and made a cable with mc-4 connectors to plug it into my power station solar input so the e-bike battery can give me additional run time during a power outage.

    I’m sure there will be people who will fuss about this video being an ad for Ecoflow, but I appreciate the time you took to give us all that info about the various ways the products could be used together. The products are outside my budget right now, but if I needed a product like that, I would give Ecoflow a hard look since they have put a lot of thought into developing a system that interconnects. When I saw that connector you put on the jumper cables, I wondered if you planned to hardwire a pigtail on all your vehicles so you could quickly move that unit around without needing to connect to battery with clamps.

    1) Keep those DC cables as short as possible to reduce voltage drop (loss). Shorter = less loss. Keep your solar and generator as close to the Ecoflow as possible.
    2) Solar: Shed's higher angle roof is better. The further from the equator you go, the higher angle the sun hits the earth. Flat would be perfect on the equator. At almost 45 degrees north, higher angles are better. In Alaska panels are almost vertical!

      ​@@CaseyLaDelle no, that's a really good thing!
      I (among other things) design large solar installations for a living and east/west systems are often my preferred solution.
      Per panel, over a year the east/west generates slightly less. However you can fit a lot more on the roof (you're using two sides instead of one) and it spreads the generation throughout the day better.
      The big caveat is that you need two separate inputs, one for each side of the roof.
      If you don't have that, then just pick whichever side is more south, or whatever side is more likely to have sun when you're using the building and don't lose too much sleep over it not being perfectly south.
      I can do some calculations for you if you like, but generally just compensating for a non ideal orientation by shoving more panels at the issue is the best way.
      Be wary of connecting too many in series, on a cold day when the panels are producing their maximum voltage your can run in to issues with the maximum input voltage of the controller.

    I'm glad you got the backhoe so now you can run a cable to the house like a normal person.

      Nope. That backhoe has zero chance of being able to dig a trench to the house

    Here's your pro tip go to harbor freight and buy their RV 3 panel solar system. And the 4000 w inverter from harbor freight as well They will keep everything fully charged and then some but here's the catch make sure that you aim the solar panels at the Sun not flat if the Sun is not directly above the more sunlight you get aimed at them the more power you get out of them I. I just used for semi batteries I could run everything in my RV including the AC

    For your solar setup, don't put them on the roof... build one of those "sunflowers" that they go on, and then that thing will intelligently track the sun so you're always maximizing how much power you get from them. I don't have a specific link; do some googling for stuff like "sun tracking solar panels" or somesuch and you should find what you need.

    Casey has a Man Cave! Daughter is getting older, and dad may do things he doesn't want his child to see. Way outback office, good spot.
    My man Cave is all steel and I modified an Arrow Brand 10 x 10 x 6 shed. Problem I had at my old home is I was 6'-4" tall and the original door was not tall enough. So, I built 2 foot high steel stud walls and re erected the 6 foot tall shed on top to make 8 foot tall. Then installed a standard wood door. A general Contractor I was working for was throwing away a bunch of Pro Panel steel roofing scrap which I placed on the front of shed. I have a Harbour Freight 18 watt solar panel ground mounted and the control box that comes with it charges a deep cycle marine battery. The Solar panel comes with 2-12 DC fluorescent lamps on 20 feet of wire with switches to plug into the panel controller. It also has 2 power sockets and usb ports. All for $149.00 and I had a coupon for 50 bucks off. (food stamp budget, yay!). I run an 8 inch computer fan for my exhaust fan. When the sun comes up the fan spins and when the sun goes down the fan stops strictly from the solar panel. I don't hook the panel up to the battery unless it needs to be charged or to attach the battery clamps for use with the lights at night. I can charge my phone, lappy top if i had one and my setup can also power 120 volt AC too if I hooked it up to the Power inverter also from HF. My power inverter (30 amp) is on my truck to power equipment 600 feet from my home, Today it is hooked up to a group size 29 Marine battery from Auto Zone ($99.00) been using it for 10 years.

    Don't know what your climate is like, but small 12 volt wind turbines for charging have been available for years. They are a standard fitment on boats. There 360 degree spin, would give you another choice.

    I almost didn't watch this video.. I ended up skipping to the half way point to the "van life" setup. I'm glad I did. Seems a lot easier than a deep cycle setup I was considering for a future truck camper build.

    I know on the Honda generators, you want a piece of wood or metal under them since they suck in the engine and cooling air through the bottom. Running them sitting on dirt or gravel gets them really dirty inside. Not sure if the eco flow is the same way, but I’m sure you want to keep that generator in as best condition as possible.

    For the Solar panels, i strongly recommend a setup that can turn with the sun. It doubles the amount of Energy you can get.
    In comparison to stationary installed solar panels. Also you have more then enough space.
