Excellent video👍👍👍👍👍👍the dry erase board helped a lot👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pin this Will so your timestamps will always be on top of the replies. 👍
Awesome. Because of your inspiration pickedcup Bluetti eb240. , 4 170 w panels. N more working to get for whole house. It runs all but dryer fridge n a/c. Next 5kw w battery bank. Thanks
You're steadily transmogrifying into that teacher we all wish we had teach us when we were at school, ^oo^
I'm new to solar and after watching a few of your videos I believe that a MPP inverter charger is what best fits my needs but do I need a transformer with one of those or do you have one for the US? The ones on eBay say they are for Europe and need a transformer for the US?
Every video you make does not have any annoying music, is straight to the point, fast and clear. That is so hard to find on UA-cam!
Thank you for that! Keep on making great content.
I don't know why I'm having such a hard time grasping how this all comes together but this video is one of the clearest I've seen. This whiteboard classroom style is really really good. Please keep doing these Will. Thank you!
just hit rewind and pause a few time
I agree. I just started learning about solar setups out of necessity. These videos are the only ones I come away from with actual understanding.
Same here, putting together my first system and quite frankly..Will's videos are my go to for anything regarding this subject. I've planned this out over the last several weeks based off his tutorials and examples and the ordered parts are trickling in. Excited about starting my new build next week- wish me luck! And Will, thanks for sharing that knowledge, keep up the good work!
Probably because you don’t understand the basics of electric… volts, amps, resistance ect
I know me too bro. Have to read the same info over and over
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish other youtubers would take their instructional video tips from you.
First of all, you didn't need to use background music as some kind of crutch/enhancement. The purpose of your video is instructional and I think you realize that trying to enhance your videos with crappy background noise only distracts and interferes with your instructions.
Second, you already know the material and have the points clear in your head. You don't speak in a halting manner, you don't ramble, you explain clearly. You don't try to speak in an overly animated style and neither do you tone it down to the point that it puts people to sleep.
Thirdly, you have great video quality. No shaking constantly moving screens, no blurry videos, and low sound quality.
Fourthly, you use a good amount of visual aids and they're very effective.
Fifthly, you actually respond to commenters. You don't just stick a video up there and then ignore the people who comment or ask questions. So many youtubers will upload an instructional video and then never even come back and respond to questions.
So just thank you. Please don't change. I wish everyone could take tips from you.
Thank you!!! :)
100% agree with this. 9 times out of 10 music detracts from the video content, especially as you said, when the purpose of the video is instructional. I watch a lot of instructional videos in 2x speed (not these, though; my brain would explode), and having background music makes it annoying to listen to sped up. I wish more youtubers would cut out the crappy royalty-free music.
THANK YOU FOR NOT VOCAL FRYING! OTHERS HAVE ANNOYING VOICES AND DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. YOU ARE CLEAR AND LOUD ENOUGH FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND PERFECTLY. OTHER START OFF WITH UMS, THROAT CLEARINGS AND OTHER ANNOYING SOUNDS THAT TAKES AWAY FROM THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION. I CAN ACTUALLY WATCH YOUR VIDEOS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING.
From the bottom end of Africa I thank you for these great videos !
i just discovered your channel yesterday and must say you are the best teacher of that stuff i ever saw. Although i am a 50 years old analogue guy and my english could be better ( i am german ) i understand all well. It is a bit overwhelming because there are so many videos on your chanel and it is heavy to find out where to start. I know this and that about electric but not so much about electronic and computerstuff. But i think a little time investment and i will learn a lot. And although some things are different here compared to the US electrics and some Brands are unknown here it is easy to translate it to german brands or at least most are even chinese…
Thanks a lot i just subscribed and will get your eBook.
Try Will book. It’s very detailed and easy to understand. Hab noch viel spaß beim basteln.
@@4philipp Vielen Dank! Cheers…
I’m really not understanding it all yet, but I’m going to keep on listening and watching until I get it. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
It’s complicated stuff; I have to watch it several times and pause to think about it. Try writing some of it down and draw your own diagram.
I’m so unfamiliar with many of the terms and their meanings that it’s hard to take coherent notes. Do you have a glossary of some sort that you could share for us beginners?
@@theresahartman7465 I got a lot of good information from Will's book Mobile Solar Power Made Easy.
Thank you!
Yes me too. Small bits are sinking in. lol
Dude... we are not worthy of the excellent explanations you provide. THANK YOU!
over here in the uk we are loving these informative vids ...
I feel optimistic when I watch your videos bro.😘
I think more people have learned about electricity from you than any other place. You are a breath of fresh air thank you
Will, your at another level man I'm very happy to learn from you so much that I didn't know watching you all the way from Africa, Nairobi Kenya
My GF bought your book, its extremely informational and easy to follow!
i wish i can buy it
from his way of explaining i am sure the book will be a nice refrence
Wow ..... Your "Honesty" is staggering.... AND the reason you are no longer living in an RV.... Keep it up Bro !! We luv ya here in Melbourne Australia :)
I agree. It's a complicated topic because everyone's situation is different. I had to reconfigure my panels 4 times over 6 months to get the maximum out of my system.
Ive rewired mine once, from 12v to 24v. this fall I will have to calc the median positions, and remount my array for best gathering.
Good god……
If I didn’t feel stupid before, I do now. I only understood about a minute of that video. I’m gonna have to rewind and seriously break this down into parts. Will is on another level.
Thanks to you I set up my unpowered shed with solar and a battery bank. I started at 12v, but quickly calculated that using a 24v invertor would reduce the wiring cable sizes and other headaches. So I reconfigured for 24v. But then, that meant I needed to add a 24v to 12v dc to dc convertor. Nice warning about parallel strings. Thanks.

I've watched this video a few times over the last couple of years, it is a great explanation. I would love to see a new version with a larger 48V system for around 6KW, I am going with Victron Multiplus II and probably this video was enough for me but I guess there is a reason I've watched it a few times! (coincidence!) Thanks for all of your vids.
Very nicely explained....the technical issue involved for MPPT and PWM technology . Let me compliment the speaker on such articulated lecture. Great. & Thnx
You mention you get frequent requests for the basics. You may want to consider putting links to some of you videos in the comments, and direct viewers to them. I always enjoy your content. I'm not building anything at the moment, but watching your videos gives me the confidence that I can do it myself. Thanks so much. :)
He has an awesome website that answers most questions
Chris Sproles Yes. I’ve been there. So much in-depth truly useful information. He’s a class act. 👍
Please help me with your website link Please
Will Prowse made our system possible. After watching countless videos we began to understand things enough to finally make a decision. For us, the hybrid system all in one was answer. We got Geowatt grid assist system and bought from one of Wills suggested suppliers. We’re not running but half the system right now since we’re waiting on our batteries to arrive. But in the mornings I love when the system turns on and is producing. And it starts very early in the day. Surprisingly, it also stays on later in the evening than we ever would have imagined. We are quite pleased even with just half the system up.
I am glad to see you do a video of this nature for several reasons. First let me start by saying your either your articulation skills have improved or my knowledge on solar has vastly improved due to your former videos I watched before taking on a 10K Watts 48V system. Because, I still run a couple of 800W 24V systems, I like to watch you videos in this arena to see new MPPT controllers be tested alongside the battery testing you do. Some of this equipment wears out and need repairs or replacement every so often. Thanks again, Will , for sharing your genius in solar systems!
What charge controller you use for your 10kw system and how is it wired?
You’re so good at explaining this. 👍🏼
I've been in the solar industry for over 10 years now, and still feel like I learn something from every one of your videos! Keep up the great work!
Sounds like BS to me. If you were really in the solar industry, you should already know this very basic stuff.
@@davidjames886 😅😅😅
@@chucktrivette5723 What type of "solar work" does that person do, sit out by the beach and watch the bikini babes walk by?
I also love your videos on planters fasciitis, you are really a great teacher
i havent found and good videos on 48volt systems with my 6volt batterys videos took me awhile but i figured it out working on a video now thanks i learned alot from your videos all basics and used it all to make my sysyem works great the systems i see are just to small for normal houses saved myself thousands of dollars got to love utube
Thank you for this video I get it now yay I'm 71 and I finally get it now I can hook mine up
After your daily rant im going back and watching all videos., and i subscribed
Everyone needs a friend or mentor like you
Just sent you message asking about connection of 12v panels in series on a 12v system......
This video has just explained everything.....
Well explained thank you chap.
Marc..... UK
Will... thank you for saving me alot of stress and money. Your videos and book have helped so much. And way to go! I don't know what's more inspirational your personal story or wanting to share with people everything you had learned. Enjoy the fruits of your labor my friend.
im doing 3S on the first array 135volts 1050w 9a and 2S2P on the second array 90V 700W 18A. what you said about the disconnect for checking dc voltage is very SAFE. your suggestions for fuses is also SAFE and to check series current up to 100 A DC you need a $100 meter from the box store. this is a minimum amount of watts. when she plugs in at the campground she gets 50A x 240volts or 12000 watts, 30A at 120v is only 3600watts (most trailers) still more than the 1700watts she will have off grid. i taught an electrical class at TA&M and you are one of the best i have ever seen for explaining something you cant see. thanks again.
Will Prowse You do a great job on your explanations. I'm 63 and a constant learner and I'm impressed on your teaching skills. BTW I bought your book as well for reference material. Fplks buy the book its worth every Penney!
Will you are the absolute best. I’ve been watching you for several years and am always impressed. I’m totally geeking out on you videos now that I’m setting up my system! Love it
All your free content is greatly appreciated and to be frank, you just seem like an amazing, contentious, good-hearted person. Videos have been great and the website has assisted me more times than I can count. Always learning something new about solar from you.
Thanks Will. That was one of the easiest to understand tutorials I've seen.
Very technical. It can only be understood by people who are experts in solar system.
Thanks Will, That's the exact info I needed for the panels and voltage input for the 24v MPP Solar I needed for my off grid cabin. You're the best.
Lots of great technical details, well done. I would agree that it is very important to leave some "head room" in both voltage and wattage when designing a system. The rated output of a solar panel is determined under ideal laboratory conditions and in practical usage generally only produces real usable power of 75 to maybe 80%. Based on this, it would be tempting to install for example 500 watts worth of solar panels on a 400 watt charger which will work just fine most of the time. However, on certain days just after a good rain when the temps are down, air is clean and the clouds are breaking up there can be momentary magnifying effects that will actually intensify the sun so much that a solar array can produce more than its rated capacity. I've seen brief periods of up to 3.2 Kw from our 2.8 Kw system.
I love your teaching abilities and you for all of you have helped me getting started! Thank you so much! You provide millions like myself a real service and not to mention the solar industry a chance for really great advertisement of their newest products!!!
Another EXCELLENT video! Perfect for right where I am at on 2 DIY systems that I am building here in Tampa. 48volt/600ah with MPP 3048Lv and 12volt/400ah with Epever. Thx for sharing your brain with us, Will! You're the Man!
Great contribution in Solar Energy education. Your passion in sharing and enthusiasm in Solar Energy development motivate us to move forward ...
Will Prowse is awesome.
Great video this plus your book is a real help. I am putting three 400 watt panels on a van and this plus reading the comments has answered a few questions.
Always a thumbs 👍.
Answers that my supervisor was hiding from me.anytime I ask him he said I will send you pdf to read. Love this your class room.thank you
Plain - simple - truth .. cheers fella.
Wow had me scratching my head on this one. Was way confused on how you got the voltage to be additive in parallel and watts additive in series. Blew my mind for more than a minute... Great videos Will
Watched most of all your videos, excellent job.
I can't stress enough how much the video is educational, thank you man
Thanks will ive been watching your channel for a few years now. Thanks for the information from NC
Thanks Will! Helps me out a lot with choosing and wiring in my RV's solar array. Will be: 2x100w panels in parallel --> 30A PWM charge controller (renogy wanderer 100W charge kit + 100w panel) --> 2 x 215AH 6v golf cart batteries in series --> 500W inverter until I get my bigger inverter. Will add a battery monitor when I can too. Solar panel ordered, can't wait to test it out
My goodness, why do I keep thinking of Sheldon Cooper every time I watch one of your(really good) videos :)
Thank you very much for your videos. I am new to the solar game and my eletrical knowledge is intermediate. You have great teaching skills. My wife and I are a few months away from going nomadic and I am learning some excellent knowledge about solar power through you.
Have been thinking of how to manage the connection of this system, but thanks to you Wills, it is now like a dream come true. Keep giving us more insides.
Good timing Will, just working on a cheap pwm 4 panel 400 watt12v for my small rv for camping, not to live in but to keep the water pump and lights going. Keep up the great work
Thank you for breaking this down to the point that we can "get it".
Finally, the video I've been looking for. I have, or will have 4 x 45v, 300 watt panels that I want to build a 24v charge system with for an off grid, art studio cooled with a small mini-split. All the MPPT's seem to stop at 150v, and I'm at 180-200 if wired in series based on the calculator you had in another video. I was planning on getting a combiner box.
Wonderful Videos. They have truly helped me with setting my automotive workshop and my home with clean renewable solar energy. Learning everyday. Keep it up.
Power of the whiteboard. Thanks Will, learned alot and KEY safety tips.
Great videos. Thanks for the education you always share on solar energy. I am in Ghana and have been using the 12v for about 8 years now, not bard but now want to run on the 24v system after watching your videos. Keep up the good work
thank you so much, i got your book online but still had questions. you answered them all today. i am helping my daughter with her Shamrock Skoolie. 3 panels 1050watts and 4 panels 1620watts. i have 14215BN and will purchase another this week. She has 24v Lifepo battery system and the 8s BMS controller came in yesterday. i will feed the 3 panel array into it first and then add the 4 panel array. She has everything except a swimming pool for this bus. Thanks again.
You are the man will! All of your knowledge has helped me a whole lot. Keep learning and doing what you do. Wish you all of the best that life has to offer.
Hi, I'm fallowing ur videos and new to all this off grid system.
I appreciate u still willing to do videos for beginners. Especially when new viewers arrive at diffrent times and new inventions comes out that would work better, faster & cheaper that could be helpful for newbies. I'm watching ur beginner video now that's a year ago and wonder what may hv improved since the time u made that video?
Thx u for all the awesome videos! 👍🏽
Great video Will!
I would love to see a follow up video that covers the implications of mixing solar panels with different specifications. I see so many questions where people ask "I have 2 panels with [specifications A] and 1 panel with [specifications B]. Can I hook them both up and how much power would I get?"
Truly you remind me of the scientists who trained me in the scientific method back in the 70s. They had so much knowledge but were able to express it such that mere humans like me could comprehend and understand. Love your approach. Angry Old HIppie Hermit Peace.
Will,
Another Great Video.
As others have commented, watching your videos is like being in a tech school or college classroom.
This video was particularly helpful.
I am starting to build a solar system from scratch and I am learning from you!
I appreciate your attention to detail and also your referrals to equipment.
I haven’t heard your story yet as to how you stopped being homeless but if there is a link available please direct me I would love to hear the story.
As long as you sincerely try to help other people there is no way you will be able to fail at what you do!
That is simply a universal truth.
Thanks again so much!
Also a good idea of you live in a very cold climate to reduce your total panel wattage slightly from the max. I had an array hooked up to an Outback FM60, it was about 90% of what the controller could handle, worked fine for a couple years until one perfectly clear day and a bit colder than -40c the panels output increased over their max rating by a good margin and fried the controller. It was a 2700w array and I logged over 3000w, and that's with some loss due to a 75' cable run
Wealth of information to digest, and I like the heads up safety concerns touched on be it series or parallel with use of combiner box and/or shutoff switch. Lotsa variables to work through.
Thank you for making it easy or should I say easier to figure out.
You my man are one smart guy. Love your videos.
Great videos! I learned everthing I needed to power up a small camping trailer. I bought your book as a thank you.
Thank you for stepping-down your knowledge flow to allow for my brain to intake the information. I will checkout your book.
Good job covering material, I remember a number of yeats ago when I got my first MPPT charger, the ( Renogy 40 amp Commander)
I did enjoy doing the Math and calculating what it could and couldn't handle.
Take Care.
You explain very well. Great video. Thanks for doing these! I'm getting smarter every time I watch you.
Best explanation, thank you sir. Im Filipino supporter
Very informative video. Answered a bunch of questions I had regarding solar array layout/wiring config. Thanks Will.
Thanks Will they say you can't teach a old dog new tricks But I learn a lot from you I'm 83 years young and still climb the roof ha ha thanks for showing from South Africa great video
Thanks for your video Will. I bought your book and watched most of your vids, this video covered what I was unsure of about charge controllers.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Mr. Prowse. Keep helping to demystify the subject. Please don't think it is anyway unappreciated
Brilliant. This is very helpful. Planning on a 48v system. Betting same questions apply. Keep up the good work.
You are so informative, thanks for helping even the lamest people like me.
Very easy to learn the basics of Solar system configuration!! Great job!!!
From one Will to another thank you. I’ve a mechanical engineering background (before you say it righty tight lefty loosey) and you have simplified the electrical wizardry to talk to my electronic engineers about a update to my expedition vehicle. Thanks again keep up the outstanding work. 👍
I had watched many of your videos. Very technical and to the point, easy to understand for everyone..
Awesome !!
Hats off to your detailed testing/comparisons !
You have become Solar God !!
I think, I should get your autograph :)
Thank you sir for bringing us light in this field
I don't know why I'm having such a hard time grasping how this all comes together but this video is one of the clearest I've seen. This whiteboard classroom style is really really good. Please keep doing these Will. Thank you!.Yes I agree with all. This whiteboard way of explanation is amazing.
You aren't alone!! Me + math = confusion.😵💫
Yeah, I agree that high pv input voltage is the way to go. I see my battery bank getting so much more useable power in low light situations and during the morning/evening times. I found the Epever tracer 40a a great controller. Seen it go over 40a at peak times but it never seems to get hot
Thanks for the refresher! I'm building an off-grid building for my beehives and am just about ready to order panels. This video will help me to not screw things up.
I know everyone is doing remote work these day, but do all your worker bees get their own computer? How much power do they need?
Just playing with ya.
@@4philipp the drones need the computers so they can oogle over naughty queen pics. Lol
The electrical needs are going to power a laptop for data collection and temperature/humidity control.
Chuck Stickelman cool. Does it need to be a laptop or would a tablet work? They use much less power.
@@StickyBit7777 surely an arduous or raspberry pi would be far better as they use way less power..!
@@MaxMax-dq1lu each hive will have something like you suggest, and the laptop will be used to consolidate the data. It'll likely wake up periodically to poll the hives.
well explain cover all important point thanx a lot , I'm from India and your big fan 💓👍
I believe in the fine print EPever says the Trever can handle up to 3x listed wattage on the input without damage. I have 1 40amp tracer running with 800watts @ 12v and another running 1300watts @ 24v. Both have been running 24/7 for nearly a year even in the 100+ degree desert heat.
Awesome video for beginners!
This is fantastic!!!! Can't wait till your book gets here, thank you soooo much for your brilliant instructional videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes definitely look at Max voltage on mppt charger cannot stress enough very very important should have watched this earlier! Nice job keep up the good work!
Yes, that was complex! Thanks for posting.
Will you do an excellent job explaining this stuff I have some background in electrical so this stuff is spot on keep up the good work you are awesome!
Very well explained. Nice video Will.
Been a while thanks for the video Will 😜
I ordered that EPever MPPT and looking to get five Newpowa 100w panels soon. I hear the Newpowas are sometimes pulling a little more than 100 watts per panel and I want them for a 12v 200ah 2560wh battery with a 2200 watt pure sine inverter. All components that you recommended from your site! 👍🏽👍🏽
dude i seriously need to be your apprentice. I feel like you know everything about solar energy. i live in a small west African country with like 8 - 9 sun hours per day almost throughout the year and i think solar will really help out here with all our energy problems. i am really interested in knowing more about solar and how to set it up.
Love your videos can't wait till they come out each week or so
Brilliant information been looking for this for ages top man thanks
This is really amazing and I am learning a lot
