$500 Solar Generator Setup - What Can It Power?

[@footprinthero]

Who wants to see a $1000 setup video? 😄 Watch the $250 setup video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e33Vgpitfd2doJI

[@stevenpgrey1370]

I'm really interested in seeing a $750 and $1000 setup, and which price point is most cost effective.

[@TheVilivan]

I appreciate you showing what it means to wire things in series vs parallel, it's cool to learn something like that!

[@bradleyb10]

Was about to fall asleep but I guess I'll watch this first

[@Sirrichz28]

Well in a zombie Apocalypse or nuclear war at least you'll understand how not to overload a power station 😁

[@budmartin3344]

The solar panel does not come with the fuse, the spc suggests that you can install your own fuse with fuse rating up to 15A. BTW, the Bluetti inverter will darw about 15W of power when it is on and no AC load connected, so you need to factor that into calculated the run time. 8:07 that is normal for PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater to draw high current when power is first applied, as it is heated up the resistance will go up so the less current will be flowing thus less power darw. Do not use Power LIfting mode on sensitive electronics equipment, it is only good for resistive Loads.

Could you please test an electric blanket with these batteries too? It would be good to know if I could use this setup for emergency power outages to stay warm.

[@gmosc]

Good job. Nice simple looking presentation, but obviously was more complex than it seems. Showing the basic numbers (watts then run time) is very useful.

[@Ihatesrael]

I really like your presentation in this video, I'm tempted to get a setup with all the Black Friday deals

[@desupernoodle]

I've seen some great deals and would definitely recommend you buy a setup like this. Even a small setup that can run a fridge or some lights is nice during a power outage.

[@largotokyo6286]

Honestly the best time for these sort of products. If you watch it, they generally go to 50% off for a few days or even a week.

[@millenium2003]

Send me one of those bro

[@longviewtradesman6608]

Thanks for the video! I think the “power lifting mode” actually just lowers the output “voltage.” so it can technically run conductive things at like 100-110 volts or something. so it could damage something with electronic control chips inside or other sensitive electronics.

[@Turennegaetan]

Exactly. It's very similar to Xboost in Ecoflow power station(when enabled sets voltage to 80VAC to run higher wattage appliances at a lower rate). It is recommended to use only with resistive load(heater, heat gun, electric stove, hair dryer, etc).

[@SofiaisSunshine]

For just a little bit more money, you can get the Pecron E 1500 LFP which is 1500 watt hours with a 1500 watt inverter and 4000 W surge for $588 The bluetti AC 180 is $459 for 1000 watt hours The DJI 1000 is like $390 on Amazon Get the biggest power unit you can right now why it’s on sale and get the panels later

[@stevejohnson6248]

I grabbed a River 2 with a 45w portable panel for $189 from Amazon. Seemed like a good deal. I can grab a bigger panel at a later time.

[@KristoffLam]

Super interested in solar charging! I hope i can get into it soon!

[@alekkryz]

you must own a lot of solar panels and batteries. Have you thought of doing wind power?

[@JohnnyThomas-ps6mp]

That TV uses 160 watts?!? Is it OLED? My 43" LCD TV uses about 45 watts. That's awesome that tiny power station can handle your refrigerators compressor startup surge!

[@dudem0n]

Been really enjoying these! Tempted to figure out how to make something like this work on my apartment roof😅. Keep it coming!

[@jasonfortress9027]

No testing on gaming pc?

[@bignamehusband3327]

Must watch!! Most useful info on the net.

[@tonyromano8337]

Could you test some aliexpress pure sine inverters ?? That would be interesting as a video 👍

[@Raym17]

Great work this video was awesome!

[@dennischinasen9392]

Thank you 👍🌞

[@eugen-m]

I wonder why Victron doesn't have such mobile solutions?

[@Kidthatlikestech]

$40 for an XT60 connector and solar connectors is insane

[@shad8369]

I like your video it’s full of information 👍

[@jimbo5635]

28 volt max in on solar controller is really low. I would like to see at least 60.

[@randymurray934]

This is great, this is the kind of information that i needed on Solar Panels and Generators. Yes $1000 dollar setup next! :-)

[@Seaofjitsu]

😊cool
