Years ago while watching Jason build his first home I made a comment that I thought Jason couldnt build shit but he was proving me wrong, Jason thought it was the best comment he had received so far. Years later, look at him now, there is nothing this young man cant do. So much respect for you Jason.
Jason is Brilliant he could do most anything his Biggest Problem 😅he cannot keep still 😅❤❤
Thank you so much for this comment, and sticking around! Lol I just try to learn as I go
We all learn as you go too.
Keep on learning so we can too.
Great video Jason. Love the angle of certain parts of the filming and different areas around the Ranch and the animals running to you when you were pulling in. Good job 🥰❤️
Mean while you still live with your mum and are on the dole.
OMG. Just loved the beginning of this video. Loved the music and the ducks were so cute running out and booking it to the pond. 😂
😂😂
Those Crazy Ducks 🦆 😂
So happy for you and Danielle. It’s been a long time come.😊❤❤
Hey Jason it's great that you guys was able to get all you needed to have the whole tiny house & I am like you when it comes to that solar crap glad to see all the animals are fine GB stay safe y'all
If you are looking for cheap residential solar panels the San Tan Solar is what I have used for years. Last purchase was 8 340 watt panels for $100 each plus $270 shipping from Arizona to Idaho.
Glad to see that you are sponsored by Bluetti. For the tiny house look into using 12v RV appliances powered by your solar. They make 12v refrigerators that are almost full residential size.
He isn't sponsored by Bluetti they just sent him a power hub for free same as they did to 100 others so they get advertising.
@@mountainman9338 either way. They got a free power system. Some sponsors pay out right, others send products to be reviewed by the content creator.
Thank you for your comment! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is another great option for powering your tiny house or RV. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile sockets, it's definitely worth considering. Plus, the waterproof technology and comprehensive protections make it ideal for outdoor adventures. Check it out if you're looking for reliable power on the go!
Wow, that is awesome, Jason. I am so happy for you and Danielle.
I love how the animals run to you for feeding and treats. Glad to see your solar going up. It will give you so much more convince for now and in future. Hugs from San Antonio, TX.
Wow ,congratulations Jason and Danielle Crocker
I remember even out to the tiny house you never had AC you would have to jump kn the truck..and if you did at all it was short lived..so happy for you two huge game changer..love it
Yep the grass is getting greener. Happy for you guys.
This was a good video. I remember when I just figured out how to wire solar and batteries. And I made a little system. I must have watched the volt meter or watt meter for weeks. Like the absolute coolest thing ever. And the fact it was actually free power was amazing. I hope other people get to experience that. It's a good feeling. Good video again, you're a great producer.
I just love your video work!! Love seeing all those animals running for breakfast!! Solar power will be awesome. It willl be so quiet out there!!! Thanks for sharing!! 😊❤
Still watching years later, love this progress!!!
Jason, I am so happy for you and Danielle that things are working out for you as planned. It’s nice to see that you have electricity, water and other resources/supplies to help you live comfortably. Until next time.
Way to go! So happy for you both!
With the panels, you need to check what the max input the Bluetti can take in volts & amps. Typical panels these days are about 450watts each, and they'll cost WAY less than the Bluetti ones too, probably 1/6th of the cost!
Congratulations Jason & Danielle!! 🙏🏼💜
Your farm is the best... Hope your weather is ok... Crazy storms and power out in many areas... Be safe
Love that you got the Solar
Thank you Blueltti
I will look at them ....keep letting us know how you like them!
Jason you're seriously one of the best video producers on UA-cam. This one is certainly proof of that. Well done brother.
Thank you so much for the compliment. I don't think I'm the best, but I do have some video experience under my belt
@@TheCrockers I'm particularly fond of Coffee With The Crockers . Nowhere near as well produced but the content always leaves a grin on my face. 😁👍
The panalse ar to hot thats y it don't produse 400watts
Will Prowse UA-cam channel is imo the easiest, least expensive, and extensive solar channel to watch and learn. He literally covers any and all types and topics of solar. You're off to a great start! BTW, how does Bluetti pronounce their name..lol 😂😅Love ya'll ❤
All of this! Will is amazing and I mentioned him in a comment when you had started talking about doing solar. I based my entire system off his knowledge.
@JabrilaO As I did too, in 2 cabins. I'm working on my main house now thanks to Will
will is the man fr ❤
I’m like blue tee what brand is that 😂😂😂
I would put the solar panels on a stand by itself. I am happy you don't have to have the generator running 😊.
Jason I too like a little coffee with my creamer..ive been drinking ryze it's a organic coffee with 6 different mushrooms delicious. Just wanted to say you have a beautiful setup and its well deserved I've watched you from before the tent days always a hard working young man
Off grid with Jay and Jen got solar panels that are on a stand that follows the sun.
That's so awesome.
Huge love ❤️ from Canada.
Shootdang I’m pumped love you both and all the wonderful animals too
Hi buddy how you doing how's Danielle did Daniel make it back yet we still miss her but the hope she's doing okay hope you're doing okay take it easy buddy keep up the good work I'm proud of you and her to God bless you guys
Morning Jason, I see the you have Geese and geese protect the chickens from air attack and land.😊 I love the new opening scenes fantastic
Hey jason . Also Danielle Lol I love to see the animal videos I grow up as a kid in puerto rico with lot of animal. I am happy everything is coming together at SDR . Solar is a big win . Keep strong bro .
Great for you guys!!!!😊
Excellent video Jason 👏💯
I love all your animals 😍
God bless you 🙏
ONCE AGAIN YOU PROVED YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION!!! 😂. The Door Knob Hole is perfect For Running the Power Cords Into the House! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊 💜
Sooooo awesome...congrats you two
That’s a game changer. Good luck. ✌️🇺🇸❤️
Great video !! Love the animals 🥰glad y’all got that solar going on now !! Enjoy it 👍❤️
Wow... that's awesome. I've saw this bluetti and started to search info, so thanks for your video I could see that I can use an AC for all night if I have the right investment and don't pay more for public energy. Congrats for the video.
We have that same system we love it we spent the winter in Arizona.
nice to see you making use of Jared's former shed to house
Jason Crocker you do the best product reviews!!! The ducks looked like they got caught doing something bad😂😂😂😂😂
Good video. Very interesting and helpful
Use a couple sheets of plywood and make a solar platform to hold solar panels flat
Green Acre Homestead has quite a few really good solar videos and Sam does a really good job at breaking everything down and showing how it goes together.
I now having solar is awesome congrats.
You can also ask them if they got hard Solar panels
Awesome video love the animals 🦆🐖🦃🐐🐓🐕🐂love you guys
You are doing well my little whipper snappers. Your young and have a lot of energy. It is fun for this older lady to see how you two are coming along with your dream.
I use RQST panels and they work great. They use the MC4 connectors for a quick but secure connection. I’m not sure for your location but where I live we point the panels to the South and tilt them at about 33 degrees for the best sun.
I power my whole finished basement and shop lights with just 3 of them and way less battery capacity than you have.
It's not easy to install a solar system all by yourself. Luckily, my husband is an electrician like Josh from Wild Wonderful Off Grid. You did a great job Jason! I've been following you since your tent days. You are truly a doer!
A solar array was the first thing we set up here on our rural property in an unfinished cottage. We had the right thought that it was going to be very expensive because of the world economy and inflation. More and more people are buying it to become more independent. The situation in the EU and the energy crisis, which is talked about since the boycott, can get worse.
Thank you for sharing your experience with solar power installation! It's definitely not an easy task, and having an electrician on hand can be a huge help. I appreciate the support for the UA-camr, Jason, and his DIY skills. By the way, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile and powerful backup power solution that can come in handy during outdoor adventures or as a home backup. Check it out if you're interested! Happy camping and stay powered up!
Nice setup! 👍😎❤️
Renogy has good solar panels, Home depot sells them. Really need and electrician if your going for permanent solar.
Sweet ! Good stuff on SDR 👊
Excellent, soon we'll be able to power whole houses
In Elk City, we had these huge fans that the mechanics used at the JD dealership.. I think the animals would love added air in the barn .. idk 🤷♀️ but you don’t have trees to shade your barn.. call your parents because in the end that is all we have kiddos.. hugs .. ❤
Do they run solar just to power some fans for animals? Remember they have no electric from the power company. Myself i wouldn't do the expense of solar for fans on animals. Most farm animals do fine in the high heat as long as they get enough water.
Congrat on solar...game changer
I’m running 4 Renogy 100 watt panels on my motorhome, they are about $100 each they are permanently mounted
Glad to see you finally coming around to the solar way of thinking. You really never had anything good to say about solar and I was blown away when you lived on the hillside and never set up any kind of solar. It's getting cheaper and technology is getting better. Yes, the Bluetti, Jackery, Anker and other systems are very expensive because they are all in one units, just add your panels. You can get enough panels, a pure sine inverter, say a 3500 or 5000 watt and have enough power for the studio, and but the same system on your tiny house. Batteries will be the most expensive part. I know of a hack where you can get batteries that'll last 10 years or so for cheaper, it just takes about 2 months to get them since they're coming from China. I'd imagine for $3000 you can have all the power, solar and battery bank you'd need to run the studio with everything you'll need. That's including a solar charge controller and starting from scratch buying all your components. Now compare that to buying 1 of the Bluetti systems now that you now how much those cost. Bluetti, Jackery, Anker etc are all good for having around in an emergency or travel to the lake or the beach you have it all in one unit, but it's much cheaper to build your own system from scratch. I wouldn't be spending $10,000 to get ugly power poles and lines ran to my property just to have an electric bill every month and then when a storm comes through, you need a back up power plan anyway because being rural, when you lose power, the co-ops are more interested in getting the bigger populated cities up and running first and you rural people wait the longest. With a solar system, you'll never lose power and those city folk are now at a disadvantage while you're still chillin' in the power after the storm. BTW, the AC will be the most power usage will the most power consumption. So build your system to be big enough to run your mini split or a 10,000 BTU window unit to keep the studio cool and you should be golden.
All of your appliances say the wattage on the back. If you're wondering about a microwave or toaster oven, just read the sticker on it. As for window AC units, let's suppose yours uses 1000W. It could be 1200W, whatever. Just make sure that your solar panels are higher wattage in total, so that you can cool the house and charge your batteries at the same time. Finally, keep your solar panel wires as short as possible. DC wiring has significant transmission loss over distance, so shorter thicker cables are much better than longer thinner ones.
You should get that Mini Split hooked up!
Wow, the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series sounds like an amazing product! With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile sockets, it would be perfect for outdoor camping and ensuring uninterrupted power supply for your devices. Plus, its waterproof technology makes it reliable in any weather. Definitely a great addition to any outdoor enthusiast's gear collection!
Thanks for your comment! I completely agree with you. The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is indeed an amazing product with its massive capacity and fast recharging. It's perfect for outdoor camping and ensuring uninterrupted power supply for your devices. Plus, its waterproof technology makes it reliable in any weather. Definitely a great addition to any outdoor enthusiast's gear collection!
Please do a detailed video of when you install your RV 30AMP power box for your generator. I just got the Anker 767 powerhouse and it’s a beast but I can’t seem to figure out how to wire this 30AMP box to my breaker correctly.
So glad to see y’all get sponsors. Y’all post so many videos and should be able to get sponsorships!!! Good luck
Looks like a good system. What ya save on gas for regular gens will make it pay for itself in no time. I watch a sawmill channel, I think it's those that he uses and he has put them through and they perform great! So you wont regret it at all. He stumps for them too. Ill make sure it is same brand when I watch his next one that has them in it but I think it is.
Roof solar shingles are $20,000 1,200 square ft home
You should look at signature solar and get older field panels for less the $100 in packs!
Just saw the weather forecast for your area next week!! By Friday the highs will be near 110, brah!! Its gonna be rough on 2 and 4 legged critters!!
MBF - Modern Homesteading also is using that Bluetti system, and Jeremy is kind of a techy guy, so could be of some help if you have questions.
Jason I believe the longer the wire the lesast power you get, it looses power the longer the cord.
Awesome video
if you got a plug for 50/30 amp plug you would have more amps for your house panel Will Prose good resource on the tube
Im glad to see you have solar in your house. A little roof or yard solar panelsit can be better than power company bills every month.
If you plan on using the toaster oven it would be a good idea to move it away from the wall as it will in time scorch your wall.
That's a fantastic video on solar generators! I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile powerhouse with a massive capacity and fast recharging time. Plus, it's waterproof and comes with comprehensive protections. Perfect for outdoor camping or as a home backup power solution. Don't miss out on this amazing product!
Ich habe bis jetzt gewartet, war mir nicht sicher, welches System ich kaufen werde. Bitte testet es weiter und gebt ab und zu einen Zwischenbericht zu bluetti ab, denn es scheint mir das Beste zu sein. Danke Euch
Well let me put it to you this way. Get you a couple glass of plastic solar or greenhouse plastic from home depot. Put you a Box around it that is weathertight leave him facing the sun. And you got the best deal that you could ever have
Solar panels are more than just glass and some plastic. Technology makes them work.
Each line of the solar input can handle up to 150 volts. So you should hook up the 3 panels in series to one of the solar inputs and get another 3 panels in series to the other solar input. Then you should have about 2000 watts or more of solar coming in.
Also, look at San Tan Solar out of the Phoenix area. They sell used panels at very low prices. This allows you to create very large solar arrays at a low cost. This gives you redundancy and Solar array backup. You can place them on frames on the ground.
Also look at Missouri Wind and Solar for wind production of electricity. This gives you possible electrical production at night or on cloudy days.
The Will Prouse suggestion was an excellent idea,
too.
Buying used panels may be cheaper but they have been replaced because they are not working near as well.
Love yalls channel! If yall ever need a painter (since i know yall hate painting lol) im located in norman (Mvp Painting) and dont mind traveling
When will you start working on the house that you originally started ..... what’s happening with that or are you instead planning on living in the shed to house that you are currently living in that Jared had almost finished all the work on? The podcast table looks great.
Look at Martin Johnson and Country View acres. They both set up great solar systems
6/24/23: 🙋🤣The animals are so GREAT love seeing you coming for morning feeding....The Cow 🐮 cracks me up and blonde Lab loves all the Animals...makes you feel GOOD, when they come running for you🤗. Thanks for showing us Portable Solar Power, I love Solar..

Saludos JASON Y PARA SU LINDA ESPOSA❤ USA
Honestly I would reach out to Josh from Wild Wonderful Off Grid, Guildbrooke Farm, or Al from Lumnah Acres for all your solar questions. They all have done a DIY array to power their off grid homes fully and they have done it for years and probably have a good idea of what worked for them and what they would change or do differently
❤❤❤❤❤ nice solar system
It looks cool, just to many cords , I know once it is hooked up right the cords won’t be there. I hope it works out for y’all
Good Job
Hey, here’s a video about solar panels. But let me rabbit hole for a second and talk about how much I love creamer in my coffee.
Those seem like they would be a game changer
I need to talk to my wife about this. We're trying to figure out "dummy proof solar" for our shed to home. This looks even better than the Jackery's.
I have a Jackery as well... love the Bluetti more!
I am using Bluetti solar generators in my shed and house. Totally fool proof.
Solar is awesome
Dp you have a video showing how to wire generator to panel box
Good luck 🤞
That's the brand I plan on buying. In Northern Michigan. Adding a propane gen to compensate on cloudy days to aid recharge and harsh winters.. not goingvto pay utility companys out rages rising rates the rest of my life
🌞Here the Farm Baby's come a running ❤ They Love Danielle and Jason ❤️😘🤩❤️🙏🙌🇺🇸👍✌️👌🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🌅🌄🌞
Awesome some
Nice!
Lay the panels flat when the sun is directly above for more juice collection.
Solar power will only go more mainstream the easier it is to install. People like convenience and simplicity. We all want clean energy as it protects against grid power failure and potential grid power collapse. Companies like Bluetti, Jackery and Projectsolar are closing the gap in affordability and easy to install kits. Plug-and-play is the future of clean energy
Don't put them on your roof , put them on a rack on your ground , easier to maintain amigo ! 👍
I’m going to build a 16 x 20 cabin I am going to have a split ac and heat unit small fridge and a small freezer and led can lights then a couple small appliances like coffee maker and a Pizza oven and maybe a air fryer can you help me in what I need to get. I’m clueless on this and u are the man I love your vids very knowledgeable for this.
And if you have a harbor freight they sell hard panels and they are cheap to
Ah the real peace has come to you and Danielle! Awesome to learn along with you as solar makes life more comfortable and quiet. Great content!
