    Very nicely done.
    I have been running, expanding, improving, maintaining and experimenting with solar, batteries, charge controllers and inverters since the year 2000 … it has since provided power during extreme outages, heatwaves and has paid for itself a few times over.
    With all the years behind me … I still am drawn to the way you explain the process and reasoning in a un-mythical way that makes it easy to follow 👍
    Mahalo nui loa my friend 👍

    them meters are great ! i have a few different ones. The one sold at Home Depot is nice. I use that one a lot. also does AC line testing like voltage and amperage and the frequency in HZ. their is power strips with bult in meter as well.

    • @ProjectsinParadise808

      I love these watt meter! Helps me so much. Many appliances don't show what they use in the back like they used to. Takes the guesswork right out of it! Aloha!🤙

    One thought might be to show how much fuel (power) you use overnight. I know when I was started out this was one thing I had a hard time predicting. Love the theme for the recent videos…..teach the next generation.

    Nice job with the tutorial, Bob. I think you're on the right track showing "how one can do it" rather than just showing the results of what you've already completed. And all in a language that is easily understood!!
    More power to ya, brother!

    Great helpful video! Looking forward to Part 2, I've been trying to figure out how big of a system I need. Would be great if you can show how to hardwire from inverter to wall outlets?! Mahalo 🤙

    Hopefully... This series will motivate me to finally start working on installing my system. I've been gathering stuff for years but I haven't been able to find my round 2 it...

    In doing your audit of fuel use,. You may want to actually cook your meal.
    That may give you a better idea of how much fuel it takes to do something.

    Hi Bob. Does your watt meter show Amp Draw? And do you use a tablet for your Victron Apps, if so which one do you use? Also how do you decide what fuses and breakers to use? I'm currently building a solar system to hopefully be able to power everything off grid. Thanks for any help.

    • @weswalker1208
      @weswalker1208 2 місяці тому +2

      He may come in and correct me but I'm pretty sure I'm right. Wattage divided by 110 volts is amperage

    • @ProjectsinParadise808
      @ProjectsinParadise808  2 місяці тому +1

      The watt meter does show amps, and accumulated wh's as well. I do use my tablet, phone, and laptop for checking in on the Victron apps for all systems. In follow up on this series I will go over the fuse, breakers needed. My pleasure brother, aloha!🤙
