You're a natural, & not even the slightest bit cranky, like the big guy was, pobrecito😉

❤Your craftsmanship is beautiful. I could use a skilled crew like you Two to help build conversions here in the Philippines.

I've been studying this build over the past months. So far, I've been able to model it in Solidworks. The only reservation I still have is the idea of drilling through the side edge of the panel which is extruded and hollow. I assume that you fabricated and glued the 3/8" threaded plates to provide extra reinforcement so as not to deform the edge that grips the panel glass. How much torque did you use for the number 8 screws? Did you use Loctite? I also noticed that you used Sika primer and some kind of adhesive to glue the plates to the solar panel frame. What kind of glue did you use? Sorry about all of the questions. I really admire the work you do, especially because you use open source methods.

It's a cool design but ultimately it is too basic when compared to modern power banks and it's waaay to expensive, and it doesnt exist, it's a kickstarter oh I mean preorder (same thing). I'll stick with something like an ecoflow river and an adaptor cable for like a quarter of the price.

Hey, great job! Thanks for sharing.

I am amazed I can't find more videos like this. Thanks for taking the time to make this. I have a small camper I power from 24v DC and everything is matched up (19v monitor, USB C and 24v LED's) Working on my home office and converting it to 24v dc. Very encouraging video, thanks!

I like what you are doing here but to put the heating element on the outside of the tank is just not right. I know you are using what you have but I'd try just using the element that came with the tank. It was heating the water, you are heating the outside of the tank instead. Surely that one will work much better
