Excellent video with pertinent facts and visual / voice over instructions. ROI is the most important factor when it comes to these solar DIY projects, imo. You not only understand the topic but convey it effectively. Well done sir.
@YukonHawk1 Thanks, unlike many channels I actually still use a lot of the stuff you see in my videos. Sure some stuff is junk but I try to stay away from some of this stuff companies wanna promote. So much never makes it on the channel.
@johnnysweekends I hear you on that point. How have the Genmax gennys held up? They seem to be a well built product. I have heard they really stand behind their products. Thanks for any update info you can share.
@YukonHawk1 over all they are getting better with customer service and they said at the show they hired a new person who was at A-ipower for that department. And also more parts availability. I really like the maxpeedingrods 3500 and pulsar 4000 dual fuel. Both made from genmax/dinking power. The pulsar DF 4000 is my current unit. I mainly use propane now. What’s up Honda…where’s the DF..???
Great video. Curious, are there any companies that make a good "micro" mini split, specifically for RVs(?) Reason I ask, I'd like to get rid of the old giant OEM AC on the roof of my RV, so I can run a much longer solar panel in that space. If anyone knows of a ms that might work in an RV setting, with relatively easy installation, please let me know.
Ughh, we are all looking for one. I did see one at a show but it was real spendy. Kinda like an all in one wave two but bigger. Good for small RVs, but now my size. Im hoping to grab a new all in one rv AC/ mini split for the front. Should be way more efficient and much quieter. Plus it will heat as well. So trying to get a hold of one now and see if its really any good or all hype
Thanks for doing this Johnny. I was wondering if anybody made something like this. Wish I saw this before I bought my EcoFlow Wave2, but for my situation, it makes sense for now since I would need to buy more panels and I don't want to mount on the roof of my current structure. When I finally get my regular house, I'll be looking at installing this. Keep the hits coming.
@johnnysweekends I do have one question. Is this for a single room, or could I get the bigger unit and install multiple wall units? Thx agn One more thing. I saw those Renogy flex panels you put on your RV. Is that the 2200W you were mentioning before and you'll be doing that update on?
@land0mancapt.stupid857 these hybrid units are single only from all that I have seen. And yes my Rv has the flex panels from renogy and one year review in about two or 3 weeks Fully tested and all, so will see if they are junk or still killing it! 👍🏼
@@johnnysweekends looking forward to that. But I already know they'll pass with flying colors since I told you before how much of a beating mine have taken and still run as when I first got them.
I’ve been eyeballing that exact unit for a while now. It would be perfect for my 375 square foot man cave. Can it be plugged directly into the wall, or does it have to be hardwired? I may have to add one more panel to my array, but that’s no problem. 🤠🇺🇸
Technically ………I think permitted and hard wired, butttttttttt 😂 Since mine is not permanently mounted yet as I dont know yet “where” I want to put it, I have an extension cord I use to power it for now. 😁👍🏼
Very helpful thankyou. Question, when the sun goes down, do you have to flip a transfer switch and or turn on a breaker to power it off of house power? Or does this unit toggle back and forth from solar to house power on it's own? Thanks again.
It’s all automatic when plugged into solar and AC. It will prioritize solar and if there is not enough it ill start drawing from AC. So it could be half and half at times. It’s so cool!
No battery needed!! Hook up solar panels direct to the unit and goooo!!!! So cool, literally 😁 No of course once sun if off panels unit shuts down unless you are plugged into a 110v source.
I mean people are doing it and if you can run enough solar even better. Not sure how big the van is but you need a decent amount of solar just to turn it on. Still can use 1200 watts of AC
@@johnnysweekends thank you so I decided on the cigs solar panel because of their durability. I just purchased two 100 W panels and could have room for another 200 W panel for a total of 400 W. I wonder if I could get high with that and about 460 W hours or amp hoursof lithium batteries
Yes as explained in the video nothing else is required. It will run on solar only. But if you live where clouds come and go often then you need to add more solar and get to the upper voltage range. More like 8 panels so it doesn’t click on and off. Now if it’s full clouds and dark then sure it could click off. But again if you over panel it can stay running. Just dont go over that max voltage range for the specs.
@@johnnysweekends thanks for your reply. You just gained another subscriber. What about this other option, it might be more complicated but it will assist with clouds and late evening. What if I hooked up the panles to an ecoflow and pluged the eg4 to the ecoflow. 4-5 400w panels?
@L-NEGRO this is something you can absolutely do. I have solar panels plugged into mine and also AC. It will run off solar till shade start to happen then pull extra power from AC to keep it running. You can watch this happen in the app. Say 300 watts from solar and 800 or so from AC. Then it will switch back to full solar if clouds are gone. Which mine is also ran from either my trailer or My Ecoflow delta pro ultra. Excellent Combo! But make sure your solar setup has the correct amount of voltage and power for amps to run the mini on its own or it wont work properly. Then go ahead and and run off AC or DC or both. Hence you need more solar for both the EcoFlow and the mini 😂🤷🏼♂️👍🏼 Check here for prices on panels….they will be going up soon due to tariffs coming. Discount code: JOHNNYWKND signaturesolar.com/?ref=JWKNDS Thanks for watching and subbing 👊🏼
@johnnysweekends I'm new at all of this and don't quite understand it all. But i really want to get 1 or 2 units that run off solar. Do you do installs in AZ?
No it will just waist the extra and only pull what it needs but you don’t wanna double it. Bolts are what’s important. Plus you never get the full amps anyway unless conditions are absolutely perfect and even then. But still doesn’t matter. You’re good 👍🏼

Great advice, these units would be great for a off grid cabin or back up AC during a extended power outage.
Agree great for so many uses really. People are using them for RVs and buses
Love your sense of humor in the photos. I need two of these for my 2 room cabin, thanks!
These are so great! Wish I did it sooner and now they have a 24k hybrid!
And thanks 😂👍🏼
Great Video! I run used panels that cost 13.5 cents a watt. Running regular window units not that are good but looking forward to getting a EG4 24k.
Excellent video with pertinent facts and visual / voice over instructions. ROI is the most important factor when it comes to these solar DIY projects, imo. You not only understand the topic but convey it effectively. Well done sir.
Wow thank you so much 👍🏼😀👊🏼
Thank you for always presenting us with these options and great technology. I truly appreciate your time and effort that go into producing these vids😊
Thanks Paul! I love this unit and now several family and friends are putting them in as well.
@johnnysweekends That's awesome to hear. They know once you review it, it has to be 👍 great.

The product looks excellent but it will not work in my area because the winter is very long in Canada.
A 36K option would be nice
Agree but they now have a 24k as well, so maybe that’s next.

@lorirodriquez6100 sorry I do t live anywhere around there
40 cent to 60 cents in California
Ooophhhh!! That’s high
Yeah our peak hour are 60cents.
@gabrielalvarado1598 ouch
I live in Austin. Our highest tier is 10.836¢/kwh
@gingerman5123 wow that’s low
Does the amps of the panels matter? My 420w panels are 38.73 VOC each but the IMP on each panel is 12.95 A. Manual for this mentioned 12 amps max?
