DIY Solar Power Station | Easy for beginner | 1200 Watts, REDODO 200AH + LIFEPO4

Doing something a little different than camping this time, but I think you folks could modify this build to suite your camping or RV or emergency preparedness needs! With 2560 watt hours of juice in this tank, I could literally keep my fridge running for days on end, or power lights, charge phones, run fans, etc....
This build was fun, and as a complete beginner in this field, it was actually fairly easy. If you have any questions or recommendations (which i'm sure there will be ;)) let me know!
I have posted some Amazon affiliate links below if you are interested in any of the products I used on this build, and remember, coming up, I have a smaller power station I will be building that will not be quite as big, so stay tuned!

only thing I would add to your setup would be a disconnect switch between the battery and the components, this way you can isolate the battery from any parasitic drain when not in use and stored away in the garage. An easy add to your simple portable power station. Nice job. 👍

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I agree bud👍🏻 this was just a “mock setup” to really just quickly test out these panels. My other stations I’ve built do have some solar disconnect switches tied in👍🏻 thanks for the comment!

[@norbiesison9257]

The brilliant design of the cabinet on wheels makes it easy to transfer locations at will. Wunderbar!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@denisestarr2314]

Thats how i started . Liveing on my land in a RV. One panel, and a batterie. And a 12v pickup truck enverter. Learned alot . Have not killed myself yet . My system has grown ,as i have . 5 years offgrid now . Just finishing up on my new cabin.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

That’s awesome. I’d love to be able to do that!

That’s a well thought out setup. I’ve watched dozens of videos from Will Prowse. Have even emailed him questions and he graciously responded.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Lol. Yeah, he is the PRO in this arena for sure👍🏻

[@lennieadi]

Love it thanks. I've saved as a favourite. I'll try to build this for my dad. I'm in my 50's and dad in his 80's and I recently stayed at his rural house in jamaica and a storm took out the power via a tree limb that snapped an overhead power line. I had to go a week with no fridge and used torchlight at nights. Horrible experience. I'll try to build this as a non tech person next year. Thanks again and keep up the good work. 👊🏾🇬🇧

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you Lennie, and good luck on your build. They really are not as difficult as they might appear. This was my first one to build also.

[@theoldhobbit3640]

Great video, thank you for sharing. I am just about to pull the trigger with Renogy to purchase a 400w solar system with a 200amp Lithium battery feeding a 2000w inverter. Your system clearly shows how easy it is to set up and have a system for power outages....... Great work, thank you.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you👍🏻

[@defjamsgreen]

That is a nice powerful DIY system you’ve built . Your refrigerators and any other appliances will have their say on this little rig and that’s awesome . We preppers are always proud to a great build like this unit here . So keep that good thing ready and May the solar be with you . Thumbs up !

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Lol. Thanks so much👍🏻👍🏻

[@seth2638]

im confused by the refrigerator claim, myself. If its 2560 Watt Hours and you're running a fridge at 350 watts (which seems low even?), thats not even 8 hours right? Im just starting to look into it and havent hooked my fridge up to a kill-a-watt or similar. Is your fridge pulling a significantly lower wattage? @@BrianWatersOutdoors

[@LarrySmith1437]

Nice unit. Decent of you to give props to Will Prowse, he's the reason I've developed an interest.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks👍🏻

[@Goody2shzToo]

I'm also a rank beginner and I built a set up very similar to yours except I didn't use any busbars. I did install a shut off switch between the battery and the controller and also a shutoff switch between the solar panels and the controller. I also have a 15-amp fuse between the panels and the controller. Mine is an immoveable installation inside the house but I looooove your mobile station. Very inspiring. I give you a big thumbs up and I saved the video to my Solar folder for future reference. Thanks!

[@Goody2shzToo]

I also have the exact same battery.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you👍🏻

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Rodney👍🏻

[@mjrootz]

WELL DONE: Good use of breakers and you have the safety bases covered. I recommend that you use a cut off switch at the battery before you go through your 200 fuse. Otherwise you did a great job. Looks nice and organized.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@stnln2180]

​@@BrianWatersOutdoors Do you have a video for smaller unit? I need something to run my full size refrigerator for 5-6 hours in case of electric outage. I was wondering what is a list expansive battery would I need for it....

[@terrylookabill8441]

I'm building something similar. I decided to mount everything on a hand truck, that way I can move it across the yard easier.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Good idea👍🏻

[@bitsurfr46]

I enjoyed watching you building your power station. For a ready made version with an inverter and a MPPT charge controller, look up the Licitti battery box. No tools, no time. Its already built.😅

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@jasonbroom7147]

Very good video and excellent build quality. The 2nd fuse, going from the bus bar to the inverter, serves no real purpose. Fuses are there to protect wires and the one in-between the battery and bus bar is already doing that, for the 2AWG stuff. Also, I would reroute the negative cable from the battery to the bus bar so that it isn't crossing and rubbing on that positive cable. I built a scaled-down unit using a cheap mechanic's rolling toolbox, 100AH LiFePO4 battery, Victron SCC and Renogy 1000W inverter. These things are lots of fun to play with. :)

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Jason. Good information👍🏻 I’m building another right now and will use this advice

[@marksadventures3889]

I like it! Cool. I have a similar unit being made, but I didn't think to put it on wheels. Don't need to apologise for sweating it's natural in hot weather. I think your unit is cool. I'm adding a disconnect. But I will have a different unit for my van mounted on a board.

[@superglock21sf]

This looks like it was fun to build. You have a good video manner that makes it easy to follow. Questions: 1) Was there a way to charge the battery with AC? 2) Now long would it take to charge that battery with that solar panel with average sunlight? 3) I am also a novice but I don't understand why you have two fuses on the big cable out of the battery, one before and then one immediately after the buss bar. Thanks in advance for your explanations.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you. You can charge the battery from ac through home power or even a gas generator. It would take several days or a week in perfect conditions to charge this up fully with 300-500 watts of solar. It all depends on how many panels you have that will determine how fast of a recharge you can get. The “dual fuse” is not needed. Just a single fuse

[@chriswhinery]

That's a neat little diy power station you've got there. Well done. I feel people should know, that expensive battery is the equivalent of two 12v deep cycle marine batteries, which would be a third of the cost. Also, stay away from lithium. Look up dendrites, and exploding phones, cars, sheds, etc.

[@tontofbox5989]

2-26-2023 that's a very nice box but it would be stronger if you put some brackets inside the top below the inverter and outside of the bottom beside the wheels . It will make it more stronger and last longer . Because batteries are heavy and expensive .

[@joegillespie-n9z]

Since your 2-gauge wire is running in free air configuration instead of in a protective raceway there is another chart in the NEC code that allows #2 wire to handle higher ampacities. Depending on the classification of the insulation, the #2 conductor can be rated up to 170 amps at 75 degree Celsius. Even higher ratings can be achieved but the wire as well as the breaker /fuse, disconnect lugs, and connection lugs in the equipment must all be rated at a temperature at or above the temperature rating being used. Typically almost everything produced is based on 75 degree ratings. You are then allowed to round up to the next standard fuse size, in this case the next standard fuse size would be 175 amps.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@FlattyDaz]

Well done Brian, nice lil setup for emergencies👍🏼😜

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@tonycorcini3964]

Next time use a battery management system and fuses in case of failures . Awesome idea.🎉

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@ggggg4030]

Wow! Very nice looking and done right! Nothing here is over-kill, you have the essential components, I built a similar power bank in 24 volts, just not as pretty as yours. Inverter capacitors should be pre-charged. I used a modified (with resistors) marine battery switch that doubles as a battery disconnect-the design plan is in Will Prowse’s forum. I had to make it safe for my wife and children to operate. I needed to add a 24v-12V step down, fuse block and related jacks to power and recharge radios, flashlights, lanterns, batteries, and devices. I also used a 2000/3000 watt inverter, to run small power tools if needed. No solar yet, but thinking 800-1200 watts-lots of power in the summer and enough to recharge a 20% battery to full in the 2 hours of effective sun light I get in the winter.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@goodoz9942]

Nice work...I built something very similar. Suggestion...I'm sure you have extra fuses for the battery positive before it hits the positive bus bar. It's not likely that you'll blow that fuse. But if it ever does blow, you'll lose power on the shunt computer...and lose Battery % memory. Not "too" big of a deal but it won't be right again until you're able to collect a 100% charge from solar. I wired my shunt positive directly to the positive battery post...that way, it's always powered even if the fuse blows. Love the video and how it shows folks how easy it is to put one of these setups together. A 2560 wH "portable power station" would run 2K and you're well under 1K here.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Great tips! Thanks👍🏻

[@winstonsmiths2449]

Fantastic info and demo. I built a 2400wh and 4800wh system. My 2400wh system is giving me trouble because of the MPPT controller, recommended by Will Prowse. Password is not what the manual stated and Epever does not have a clue what the password is. I am now leaning toward Hybrid MPPT controllers with everything (fuses, BMS, inverter) built in. Piecing together a DIY can be more expensive than an all in one system. I bought a SunGold 24v 3000w Hybrid solar MPPT/Inverter for $595. I will buy a battery cut off switch, PV switch, copper cable, and two circuit breakers. So it might total about $750(?) total. Inverters that can power devices and appliances for a given length of time are not cheap but are necessary. 3000 watt pure sine wave inverters0 start at $350 each. Add a decent controller for $150, $200+ for a lower spec'd Victron, shunt, cables, etc and you are talking at least $700. The DIY scalability is a huge plus for the DIY'er.

I just got a 300 ah Ampere Time battery. I got a 2000 watt pure sine inverter and a 60 amp MPPT charge controller. I already have several sets of 20-30 ft MC4 cables and 490 watts of glass panels and high quality 100 and 120 watt folding panels. Needed a larger and less expensive power source for the camper I`ll be living in than the power stations on the market. Plus I can replace parts that fail. I`m thinking of mounting my setup to a garden wagon or dolly. Don`t know what to do. We have bad hurricanes here and the main purpose is emergency solar power for a tiny window air conditioner. I have a collection of solar power stations for everything else like lights, dorm fridge, freezer, fans, and 12 volt cookers.

​@stnln2180 yes, like my fridge takes 155W when compressor is on and 15W when off. So as long as you use you fridge normally (not totally thaw then restart), a 2.5 kWh battery will easily last a couple days without charging.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it would run things for days, a 200AH battery at 12 volts will push 200 AMPS for one hour. so if you are running lets say 10 AMPS (or 120 watts) constantly, that would give you 20 hours of run time. this is straight use without charging.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

True. But this did run my garage freezer for “days” without charging. Video of that is also on my channel.

[@gp7813]

Least complicated and best explained setup I've seen so far. Very good job. Would increasing the interter to 2000 watts make it compatable for an 1800 watt appliance without further modifications?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It would be close. I’d suggest a 3000 watt inverter at minimum though.
