I'm an electrical engineer, and dude this is the best UA-cam project I have seen. Well done, great fit and trim and a really professional job.. I believe you can sell these. Also, I'm glad you used off the shelf batteries instead of building your own battery packs.. which I believe is too dangerous for most DIY guys. Most don't realize a short across the wrong battery terminals on a DIY pack will start a fire that can't be extinguished.
Very nice build. A build list would be nice, but a tutorial, or even just some info about things you learned building this (do's and don'ts) would be great. And not just on the electric portion. What you wish you'd do differently if you were starting now, how you figured out what battery to buy, etc.
Depending on your needs look into the Dr pepper 100ah lifepo4 battery with the DC charging hub . You can add inverter and plug solar straight in.. it's a system you can easily upgrade if you needs change.. not as big and nice as this system but not nearly as much work or $
wow i wish this had a diy build with all these components. This is exactly what i would like to build for a Ovrland Camper and use at an off grid property to build things etc in Arizona. Great work and craftsmanship
One observation… in your battery box you have the cables from the battery to the lid arranged so the positive is above the negative terminals which seems not optimal from a short circuit pov. :)
I've watched over 20 diy solar generator videos on here. Yours is without a doubt the best one I've come across! Like a few other comments on here, some sort of build list tagged to this or updated video would do great! That wire routing is top notch
Technically not a generator but I’ll let you have it 😂. Appreciated the extra time you took to show real examples of both the box and the solar. Thank you
I've been researching a DIY setup, and yours is by far the most ingenious I've seen yet! So much thought and effort, the modular portability with the 3 part system is great! And your truck build!! This is what I aspire to be like as a contractor, thank you for the time and effort put into making this video to share. Much love and respect 🙌🏼
Was thinking of a Milwaukee Pack out setup, but prices were high. This Ridgid build is genius! Very very well done, clean and skillful. Modular and versatile too! In love with what you've created, amazing work, keep it up!
This build is pretty amazing, and I have learned more about the possibilities of a portable power station from your video than from most I've seen! Love the ham builds also. Maybe I'll run into you on the air here in AZ
I built the same thing but in Milwaukee pack out box. Its a all in one 5000wh 24v li ion(18650 cell built myself) battery. 2000w inverter. 20amp mppt(could fit a larger one) all in one container. Since my battery is regular li ion it's smaller than yours but 2x the capacity. Works great.
Best I've seen so far! Can you give an estimate of material costs? Of course, your time won't be there, but I can tell you spent a lot of time thinking/planning even before assembling.
I like the setup overall. You may want to consider insulating the inverter connections. They crossover and come dangerously close to each other when the case is closed. If someone decides to lean on, sit on or rest something on that case it could get interesting. I know you wouldn't do it, but you never know what others might do.
I did a 300ah/1500w inverter box last year and I'm happy to see we did a lot of similar things in our projects. I even used a bigger Rigid toolbox as my starting point as well. I want to build an even bigger system this winter, because I just like building things, but at some point those all-in-one charge controller/inverter systems start to make a lot of sense. I think my next build will be a 24v/410ah using a combo controller/inverter in a wheeled Stanley toolbox.
Well done. Very impressed. Yes can u please put up a build list at some time? I’m still learning and that would be very helpful. Cheers from Aussie Warren G
Very impressive build! I built something very crude, by comparison, but similar in concept. If I ever built another one, I'd like it to be more like what you've made.
Very nice job. Anyone with fabrication skills of a reasonable level can replicate it with some moderate effort. I am honestly not sure why people are complaining about every nut and bolt being listed. That isn't how DIY works. If someone cannot figure this out they probably don't own the tools to build one either. Yes I have built similarlish setups. It does take some effort and thinking but that is the fun aspect.
Good video, I have also built some systems over the years, especially panel arrays, and battery banks. You should capture good solar energy in an arid desert region. Unfortunately living in northern Canada solar was not a good option, but a costly one.
This is exactly what I've been looking at doing. I already have the cases from bauer, lifepo4 cells to make the battery, and a bunch of other things. Just need some hardware and I'm ready to build. Great video!
I built a 5.2k system on a cart similar to the one you used. I used Velcro and eraser board sheets from Home Depot to enclose the lower part of the cart which holds the batteries. Helps keep the dust down and protects the batteries. Use the industrial strength Velcro,
Cool show & tell! Seems like a look of craftsmanship went into it. Would love to see more video of the build process. Do you have a background in metal work?
I want to build a similar system using Harbor Freight wheeled combo set. $120-ish for a 3 piece set. They stack and the bottom unit has wheels of course. You can buy each of the 3 pieces individually. They are very sturdy and the price is value all day.
Outstanding design, workmanship, and presentation! The modular aspect is genius. Didn't catch how power is passed into the top box's inverter connections -- is that a custom metal bracket that fits onto the bottom box's top bolts/terminals, shown @3:40? I'm guessing it's cross-sectional area is similar to the 4 gauge wire so no voltage drop (or excessive heat buildup)? Thanks for sharing!
Can you share some pics on how you did this. I'm doing a modular build like yours and am debating on the best way to get the power from the lower battery module to the upper inverter module.@@customtech383
Wow, that Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series sounds like an incredible piece of outdoor gear! With its massive capacity, super fast recharging, and waterproof technology, it seems perfect for camping and ensuring uninterrupted power supply during family outings. Thanks for sharing this recommendation, I'll definitely look into it for my next adventure!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I completely agree, the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is a game-changer for outdoor adventures and family outings. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology, it's definitely a reliable option to ensure uninterrupted power supply during your next camping trip. Happy exploring!
Wow very nice! A lot of thought obviously went into this build! One of the best I've seen. I'm halfway through my 300ah kings Lithium battery which is on a hand truck. The rest is all Victron and itech world components! You can get a solar tracking system that uses 12 volt rams to move the solar panels and track the sun.
Video description should have specs, parts, price breakdown. Helps people do a cost benefits analysis. Nice setup. Do you have a video that shows your construction process?
Thank you for taking the time to do the video. Just enough information for inspiration. This is a very clean and well thought out design. Great job! Edit. I just saw the build list in the information section of your video. Most excellent!
I really like this set up. I'm moving to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 soon. I definitely will try to build one. Thanks for this information and all the details. God bless you and your family.
I've literally started this same build. Same boxes, same concept. This is cool that I came across your video after deciding what I'm doing. Great build. Maybe I'll document / record my setup too? Regardless, great stuff and thanks for taking the time to post this
Great build video! I'm building a 100ah x 1000w version that I can add batteries to small enough I can lug it around camping , the Dr prepper/renogy battery with the DC charging hub is so simple with built in 40a mppt charge controller. But you have given me some ideas! Thanks
nice build 🥰🥰🥰🥰i have that same tool box with 48 volt pure sine wave inverter love it from my inverter i used 12 gauge wire the wire you used to wire house with 2 15A Breaker and 20A breaker for my out let them
On the air intake side i would want a HEPA air filter. There is a lot of dust circulating in the air. Also the charging kit would stay in it's own box with a 3 way switchable cable to connect to the power station battery.
wwWOW... just... Wow. All the pieces I've been clipboarding (for years now) in one video... There is SO much going on in this (and COMPLETED)... Subscribed. Liked. My wife is not going to be able to find me for a week unless she tries the garage.
Nice video on your system(s)! Have you ever considered putting a set of panels above the cab? Two advantages, the extra panels of course but if there is 2" - 4" space between them and the roof , the roof is always in the shade. Just a thought.
My son did something similar in a food trailer. He was too far away for me to help him, but a local marine electrician helped him build it. For that power level you will want to use either 24 or 48 volt instead of 12 volt.
Very Cadillac build and quite nice! You didn’t show how you connect the battery box to the inverter box for power to the inverter . . . I’d like to know.
In the video I showed the bottom box with 2 bolts coming out of the top (3/8). These bolts go through the bottom of the inverter box and then bolt to the inverter.
Thanks! Yes, I cut and welded up the stand from some metal stock I had. I don't have a parts and cost breakdown but I am going to try to put one together as time permits.
Looks like when you close the battery compartment lid the positive terminal going through the lid is dangerously close to negative terminal on battery. Bad news if lid gets crushed or compressed somehow. Maybe there’s more room than the picture shows, I dunno.
Very nice portable DIY solar generator. Your panel stand with manual angle adjustment could easily be modified to a self powered single axis solar tracker. Check and find: Easiest Solar Tracker
This looks great, but the problem is, by the time you buy the cases, battery, inverter, and wires, you could probably buy the new Bluetti elite 2000 v2. It is remarkably efficient, has a 2600 watt inverter, and 2073wh capacity. It also has a 5 year warranty, and service life is claimed to be 17 years. It is on sale for about 1100 bucks. I looked at the price of that battery and a good 600 watt inverter alone is over 600 bucks. It would also be much less portable than the bluetti. Of course there is the added benefit of just changing out the battery if needed with this build. I was an industrial electro-mechanical troubleshooter until I became disabled, and I could build this. It would for sure be a lot of fun to build, but with the cost of a quality lipo4 battery, and 3000 watt inverter, I just can't see the real advantage.
Yes the prices on amazing power systems have dropped significantly. Watch for black Friday sales. The reason I believe you still want a diy component system is found in one of my other videos, "Why you need to build a 12 volt diy system"
For you diyers The same box with the 200 ah battery. I was able to get 2 80ah lifepo4 batteries, with a 5" gap in the middle in that same box. I needed a 24vdc system at 80ah. Kayak motor. By the way ridgid sells a (taller) box called the xl version.
Question; why not put your batteries in the Ridgid bottom box that has wheels, then put your inverter/chargers in the middle sized Ridgid box, where you can leave it all assembled? This is the cleanest build I’ve ever seen, thanks
Never mind I could never build something like that too much money way too much money but I do like the converter to 3000 I’ve never seen one I seem to 2000 and I’m gonna keep watching this for a long time Call dad is so sweet
Hi, I have a question as I'm watching your video. Where is your large fuse for your 3000 watt inverter? Shouldn't you have at least a 350-450 watt fuse because of the larger inverter? I have a 425 on mine.
I'm considering building one of these and this is the best I've seen on UA-cam. Any chance of doing a rough wiring diagram? I think I know what to do but looking for conformation on bringing together the battery, solar, and power supply without causing issues. Thanks.
Craig, I am so sorry but I don't have time to do that any time soon. Life is very busy for me. Hopefully by stopping the video at spots and looking at diagrams on the web you can get it done.
Man you got the engineer is awesome I’m telling you that is so awesome man you should be proud what you built right there now I’m telling you you must be an engineering or electrical something that is amazing amazing I love it I’m sorry but I don’t take much to get me like in certain I love when people build stuff and it works I love it used to be a pipe welder did stuff like build stuff just for fun at this for fun and it worked hard Can’t do it no more cause my health but have muscle problems pain all time 24 hours I’m in pain sleeping get a wake up for pain but I keep going because I’m a go go guy I like to go I like doing things but that is beautiful I mean I’ve never seen I’ve been looking at lotta channels lotta things of people built this is the best one yet top I’ll give you a thumbs up👍 i’ll give you 100 points for this it’s beautiful I can you you did an excellent job I’m never seen such quality outstanding work I love it I’m glad I found your channel maybe I can learn set my phobia hopefully I’m not the smartest man in the world I feel like school I can’t read with the hootenanny Can’t spell with the darn thank God for cell phones at you can talk through and it spells it for you and hopefully it spells right that’s all I got to say I think you did a good job I love it beautiful

Most don't realize a short across the wrong battery terminals on a DIY pack will start a fire that can't be extinguished.
Are you concerned about the lack of proper crimping?
Not so much as that but accidentally connecting to the wrong terminals. Or using too small of wire and terminals
*One of --- if not THE BEST -- designs I have seen on UA-cam. However, most of us lack your skill and knowledge so this would be quite the challange.*
Very nice build. A build list would be nice, but a tutorial, or even just some info about things you learned building this (do's and don'ts) would be great. And not just on the electric portion. What you wish you'd do differently if you were starting now, how you figured out what battery to buy, etc.
Yesssssssss
You're going to need $10k in extra cash and an abundance of time. Like this guy did, just keep throwing money/time at it.
@@manbunmyname5866 10 k to build this battery bank? How about Nooooooo
@@manbunmyname5866 🤣 you need that much dummy. Get up sold 🤣 🤣

You may want to consider insulating the inverter connections. They crossover and come dangerously close to each other when the case is closed. If someone decides to lean on, sit on or rest something on that case it could get interesting. I know you wouldn't do it, but you never know what others might do.
You can get the bottom wheel section for storage, and it can roll itself. Or add a metal plate at the bottom and add removable wheels and handle.
I did a 300ah/1500w inverter box last year and I'm happy to see we did a lot of similar things in our projects. I even used a bigger Rigid toolbox as my starting point as well.

Great build! That was a ton of work. Gives me some more ideas for my build. Thank you for creating and sharing, sir.
I agree with everyone else. AWESOME build and would really love to see a build sheet.
This has my interest, can you do a built tutorial/ build list?
Nice work. Before I watched this video I had decided to use the Ridged 2.0 box for a similar build.
I really like my renogy DC/DC converter. Allows me to rapid charge my system with the vehicle alternator. (its waaaay faster than a 100 watt panel)
Impressive is an understatement!!
That setup is something I hope to have soon. Great video sir 👍
Fabulous job! Really nice. Looks very professional. Liked the use of the Rigid boxes.
Wow 😮You need to make some videos on how to build this system, yours is so cool!
On the air intake side i would want a HEPA air filter. There is a lot of dust circulating in the air.
Also the charging kit would stay in it's own box with a 3 way switchable cable to connect to the power station battery.
wwWOW... just... Wow. All the pieces I've been clipboarding (for years now) in one video...
There is SO much going on in this (and COMPLETED)... Subscribed. Liked.
My wife is not going to be able to find me for a week unless she tries the garage.
Nice clean build. Would love to see a build tutorial.
Best build i had seen so far, it looks nice ..
Nice video on your system(s)! Have you ever considered putting a set of panels above the cab? Two advantages, the extra panels of course but if there is 2" - 4" space between them and the roof , the roof is always in the shade. Just a thought.
That's what will work. Nicely organized.
This is a fantastic build. Thanks for sharing!
Love the setup. I recently purchased a rigid box but my 3000w inverter is too long for any of those boxes. Smh, I’ll find a way to make it work
For a battery pack like this, a smaller inverter is really just fine. You aren't going to get 3000 watts out of that battery.
Awesome, well put together system. Do you have instructions for your builds?
Man, that is one slick setup! Great job!
I would love to see a step-by-step build video. I am interested in setting up a 6000kw unit for my food trailer.
I am honored by your request , but at this point in my life i don't have the time to put that together
My son did something similar in a food trailer. He was too far away for me to help him, but a local marine electrician helped him build it.
For that power level you will want to use either 24 or 48 volt instead of 12 volt.
This is a great setup 👌 will be making one of my own thanks
Very Cadillac build and quite nice! You didn’t show how you connect the battery box to the inverter box for power to the inverter . . . I’d like to know.

Thanks! Yes, I cut and welded up the stand from some metal stock I had. I don't have a parts and cost breakdown but I am going to try to put one together as time permits.
That is an outstanding Build- thanks for sharing appreciate you
Looks like when you close the battery compartment lid the positive terminal going through the lid is dangerously close to negative terminal on battery. Bad news if lid gets crushed or compressed somehow. Maybe there’s more room than the picture shows, I dunno.
Very nice build! Love the attention to detail and customization. Thanks for sharing!
Exactly what I was thinking about, and you built it!!! thank you.
Would have been nice if you listed links for the components you used.

The same box with the 200 ah battery.
I was able to get 2 80ah lifepo4 batteries, with a 5" gap in the middle in that same box. I needed a 24vdc system at 80ah. Kayak motor.
By the way ridgid sells a (taller) box called the xl version.
By far the best video on diy generator!
Great modularity, appreciate the insights!
Really nice build, 👍 thanks for sharing.
Question; why not put your batteries in the Ridgid bottom box that has wheels, then put your inverter/chargers in the middle sized Ridgid box, where you can leave it all assembled? This is the cleanest build I’ve ever seen, thanks
WOW... Best setup Ive seen... Impressive
fantastic system... Thank you for the video. Well done!
Just re watched this video. Awesome build. What is the weight of these two boxes together? Love Anderson Power Poles
Roughly 85 lbs

Hi, I have a question as I'm watching your video. Where is your large fuse for your 3000 watt inverter? Shouldn't you have at least a 350-450 watt fuse because of the larger inverter? I have a 425 on mine.
I did back up on my fuse (250) because my plan for usage is minimal. But yes, 350 would probably be a good idea
Nice build man, looks great!
👏 thank you and good job very nice work but do you advise me to do it by myself and my weather up to 75c do you think it well work???
Beautifully built . Hope your channel does well . Subscribed 👍

Craig, I am so sorry but I don't have time to do that any time soon. Life is very busy for me. Hopefully by stopping the video at spots and looking at diagrams on the web you can get it done.
That is a really neat and clever system.
I like the video. I would like to know more about your bed cover. Is that a diy?
