Building a 3.5kWh DIY Solar Generator for $650 - Start to Finish

What is the purpose/advantage of not using a deep cycle 12v battery?

Genial saludos cordiales desde Patagonia Chile

Love the long video format. Please keep them up detailed explainations are super appreciated!

Don't apologize for the length. I actually wish you had gone into more detail and hadn't skipped over all the really interesting stuff of the build in the middle.

I wish electrical made any sense to me. I would love to make some battery packs for my camper, wire up some solar and wind, but electrical is one of those things that might as well be a foreign language.

That is so awesome bud!!!! Good job!

This is amazing best diy video for making a portable power bank

OH...

would work okayish as as a new gen psu

Never apologize again for the video being too long, this was a well detailed and well produced video bravo

I don’t know anything about all of this stuff but I was excited to watch that video, I loved it I even subscribe and turn on notifications, maybe on day I will understand by keep on watching your video 😂😂😂😂

Who told you this is called a generator?

He just made it look so easy

Wonder what the useful life of the cells will be till a full charge doesn't really do much. My car jumper battery with built in tire pump was great when new for topping off tire pressure but now after several years can't top off tire pressure unless I keep it plugged into house current recharging as the air pump works. Wonder, too, what the useful life expectancy is for solar panels.

Can someone explain will a LiFePO4 280Ah Grade A Cell be similar to the output of this unit? or more /less?

Doyou sell this

Very nice build video, I hope you charge this either outside or on a cement floor out in the garage, even better put the box in an insulated metal container. I am building a small power bank with Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. I have seen way to many fires from Lithium Ion batteries.

MAIL , PHONE?

PLEASE HOW TO CONTACT YOU

please can someone help me with the name of that machine used for welding the battery, I am Cameroon. just seeing that for the first time.

Hi I have a question. If I build a solar generator and use an inverter that is negative grounded how do I ground it since it's portable?

Amazing video. Exactly what we need to know. My only point would be is there a diagram of how the cells are connected by spot welds. Suddenly the video went from spot welding to a complete pack and I wasn't sure as a noob how the cells were connected in groups. Thanks

In reference to the connections, do you have schematics/word document/pdf? I'll pay you for it via cashapp.

Your calculation is off 12 foot 40 amp hour gives you 500 watts they weight 11.5 pounds each so 3.5 kw would weigh 7 times 11.5 yielding 80 lbs

lithium cell WITHOUT balancing recharge. Are you crazy, really? lithium is not as PB cells. You cannot balance cells in group, man! each red wire need to go to one single cell! you risk really a fire incident. REALLY.

wow that was one of the best dyi i have seen on solar.
Do you Sell them already Assembled?

Stop calling these things "generator", it's just a battery.

Elon is looking for you

Great video!

You are awesome bro! Thank you for this!!!

So you’re saying if I build 4 of these I’ll have a whole house 14 kilowatt solar array?? All for a couple grand???

Great presentation without the fluff…

even though I dont understand a thing.that looks dope

Why does one have to build one, why can't we buy them already built.

Sorry for this dumb question, but I'm new at this...
Where to you run the cords to from the outlets that you spliced?
The ones you said you tucked under the inverter.
Could you just plug them into the inverter outlets?

Upgrade the bms to be able to handle 80 a

Couldn't you wrap the wire with foil to get rid of Interference? Maybe I misunderstood. This is a really awesome little Battery Bank!

Strap these batteries to a dolly and the weight would be a lot more manageable.

I don't know what a solar generator is but I do know what a battery is.

how long does it take to charge if you were 0% im just trying to figure out the charge time ???

Genius! Omg, I spent $14000 for a 5kw solar system on the house, and my bills went up by approximately $200 a quarter. Total scam I thought. And you’ve managed to produce nearly 4kW for only $650 - I tell you, many solar people could learn a thing or two from you.

Cara membuat gimana bang bang

I wish that I could be as smart as you are and could make one myself

I think what you were trying to say is "solar battery", not that "solar generator" bullshit.

😻

Wow this is so beautiful👍

Me at the start of the video: So cool. I am going to make one of these!
Me at the end of the video: How much to buy one?
