Better Battery, Smarter Controller - Solar Upgrade Done Right!

[@syracusechris]

Just came across your channel today. Been watching a bunch of your videos. Yes I subscribed right away ! Very well thought out videos, great descriptions of what & why you do things with actual real time info / products you use. I appreciate your time and energy that must go into all of your videos. Cheers.

Man this was an amazing video! Well done. Subscriber and notified!🎉

Great editing!! You can not go wrong with a Victron controller. Did I see a grounding wire on your aluminum panel mount?

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks. Yes, there is a ground copper wire attached to my solar panel's frame.

[@Kevin_D1]

@GreenTechTown If that frame is aluminum, then it will make for a poor ground. Trust me, I found out the hard way.

[@GreenTechTown]

Interesting. Yeah, I have mine connected with a grounding lug (similar to this one: amzn.to/40t7SQs) which is attached to the panel's frame. Seems many have supported doing it this way, but I'm always curious to learn new ways. What solution do you use now?

[@Kevin_D1]

@GreenTechTown In my opinion, you would need a grounding rod driven into the ground. Then, have a wire connected to your mount. After that, you can groundi other stuff to the attached wire. I believe what you see on YT is guys doing what I ha e described but don't show it. I could be wrong. Google "Is aluminum a good ground?".

[@GreenTechTown]

Ohhhh I was under the impression you were only concerned about the grounding conductor attached to my solar panel. I did install a grounding rod for this system, just not shown in this video. The following video I created in the past shows how I went about grounding the system: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWXIqWuDpNasm80si=IfaUWUBAAqrjZPho&t=344

What are you using to draw the schematic?

[@mehgoodenough]

Yeah, I've seen similar webapps for Network wiring diagrams. Could we get a link? 😃

[@GreenTechTown]

Believe it or not, it is just PowerPoint :D It gave me more flexibility with creating new connection points on imported/created images since my goal was to create a "pictorial" diagram instead of your typical schematic diagram. However, I'm sure there is probably a better option out there. Feel free to let me know if you find one or know of one.
