[@__WJK__]

Really appreciate and enjoy your DIY videos Will, especially when you revisit your roots and mention DIY budget minded systems that would work well in a off-grid motorhome, or RV. That said, and while I know how you feel about ever owning another motorhome, I think if you made a few videos that discussed what your most "ideal" DIY motorhome battery and rooftop solar setup would actually be... I think such videos would be a great addition and a huge hit with your subscirbers.

[@morgananderson9647]

What would be really cool would be to set up a system and include an Arduino controller connected to the vehicle what would automatically start the engine (& alternator) when it reached a minimum charge state and replenish the battery bank.

[@souporlouis]

I got started by watching your videos years ago and 2 years ago I built my own 6kw storing off grid style solar array and it has been going strong till this day with no issues.

Thank you for doing what you do, and "curse you !!!" LOL. I was set on the Ecoflow Delta Max for an Overland Trailer build I am doing, and this definitely gives me food for thought. I'm a little nervous as I do not know as much as you and I did like the simplicity of "plug and play" with the Delta Max. I also have an RV for more friendly terrain. This exact setup would be great for the RV, and the 3k version will be great for my Overland. I will be watching this again a few times and doing my research with your advice. I like the DIY, the cheaper is always good, the more power is gold! Thanks again for your posts.

Thanks to your other videos I have saved at least $2K from my solar budget and can make other improvements. I was originally being lazy, the DIY system is well within my skill set and very expandable. In the near future I may expand the system to 240 VAC so I can run my well pump, charge my Tesla, etc. I have an old farm house on a few acres that we use as a weekend retreat. This will fit right in with our improvements. (We are keeping it looking quaint and rustic but under it all is very high tech.

This is my exact setup. 1000w of solar on the roof, 3000W inverter output, and the 5.1 kWh battery is a killer setup for a small RV. Going to be creating video walkthrough of my system soon. Thank you for all the advice and solar tutorials. I've learned SO much from your content! :)

[@michaelshimoide2248]

This is an excellent video that I wish I had the opportunity to see much earlier. I could have saved over $4000 on a Ecoflow Delta Pro with a 400 watt folding solar panel. Both are sitting in a closet right now. The great news is that your website taught me where to buy the LV6548, where to buy rack mount batteries, and how to set it all up. I left that 150 volt limit in the dust and could not be happier. Blackouts will not ruin my day, and I can expand whenever I feel like it. The expansion units for the Delta Pro are also expensive at $2799 each for just 3600 watt hours more. Additional rack mount batteries for the LV6548 will give you 5120 watt hours more for about $1000 less each than the Ecoflow option. Since it can be charged from an AC outlet, I will mostly likely bring the Delta Pro out for outdoor activities. I found 3600 watt hours woefully inadequate for a home office. My Toshiba window air conditioner runs at 700 watts, so the battery is drained in about 5 hours. That is without running lights, charging phones, or using devices like a TV or computer. Thank you very much for your resources and videos. I guess timing is everything. Signature Solar was out of stock months ago, but it looks like their inverters and batteries are available now. If I could afford to assemble a 240 volt system today, I would buy from them now while they still have stock.

[@kiloindiaalphasierrajuliet6009]

I literally bought the delta pro with solar panel and extra battery that was on sale. Saw this video a day later and canceled my order. Thanks Will, saved so much money! 😂

[@jdollar5852]

Solar generators have a lot if advantages to go with the drawbacks. Simple to use, portable, and compact. Everything you need is inside that box. Your ac and dc plugs are right there and operate just like your wall plugs at home. DIY systems can basically offer unlimited power and massive charging capabilities but that also comes with a trade-off. They're much bigger and portability is iffy. I have a small diy system that I use as backup for freezers in the barn. It's in a Husky rolling box so it's portable, but not really super cheap when you add in all the components. I also have 2 Bluetti units that are very user friendly but certainly more pricey.

Thanks Will. I've been pulling my hair out trying to decide which one of these I want for months. Now that the 6500 is in stock I think that's my goto. The main reason was delta only 1600 watt input. I even thought about two delta pros but linked together you still only get 1600 input. And the price starts getting out of control. Thanks Man 👍👍👍

[@JohnSmith-gz5pm]

You can charge at 3000 watts input through 240v.

[@Juncti]

Would be cool to see some form of DIY shell that could be used on those LifePO4 batteries you test a lot of. Basically clamp the positive and negative on, latch it up, and have a small portable system with a few outlets. Need extra capacity, just buy more LifePO4's and swap them out as you exhaust them. This way instead of over 2k to start you could get in cheaper and slowly grow your capacity. Wouldn't ever match a large unit like this but would work for smaller tasks and spot outages where you don't need a massive system in place.

[@TLH442]

Awesome. I wanted 48 volt because my 2021 MB sprinter 2500 is on a 48 volt system. They switched over to that so save money and weight on the copper wire but also to be compatible with the new ISG ( integrated starter generator) sometimes referred to as mild hybrid. It's integrated into 3rd generation MB sprinter transmission to aid in not only starting but to help with the turbo lag on the 2 liter inline diesel 4 cylinder intercooled twin scroll turbo charged engine at low RPM. It yields an additional 20 hp and about 130 foot lbs of torque using a 0.9 kWh lithium battery. It also activates at speed when at high power and adds regenerative braking. I get a ridiculous 1000km range out of my high top sprinter (10 L/100km) with the 100 liter fuel tank. Now I need to plan out the roof layout to cram as much solar as possible up there. Thanks Will.

For those who are considering an all-in-one portable, this is an Aha Moment! I have a Yeti 3000X I bought two years ago and the compatible expansion batteries are lead acid! I do like the built-in wheels for bugging out, but C’mon! Thanks, Will.

Such genuine analysis , I have an ecofliw delta pro in New Zealand ..I looking to buy a damaged EV as back up battery ..

[@fu4616]

Last year I bought the Ecoflow Delta Max with extra batteries for 6KW total output. Since they now have the Delta Max 2 (with LiFePo4 batteries) I was contemplating another setup for 12KW total juice. Cost is still an issue and I have the technical ability, so I'm seriously considering a DIY system very much like this. Cheers!

I just picked up and finished with the 3000 EG4 and a EG4 battery build..total cost $2325. Put it on a 600lb dollie. Right now charge with 6 250w used panels. Ran down to 25% and charged back up today to 100%.

Excellent video. I do IT work and recently (as in today) just ordered an all-EG4 setup. The 6500EX-48 and a single EG4-LL V1 server rack battery to match. The bonus was that EG4 will give you a 5-year warranty on the inverter when paired with an EG4 battery. This LL battery has a 10-year warranty which was nice for us b/c we're powering a Server Rack and are using this setup to deliver a consistent load of 3200W that runs 24x7. I will hook it to the grid for input power but have the option of adding panels and more battery to get longer UPS run time and pay back for the cost of the setup by offsetting power consumption costs. This setup cost me $2950 and the equivalent all-in-one units $3500 for budget systems (5000 VA) to well over $8000 for name brand. All I need is a backer board, and a disconnect on the input and battery side, and I"m in business; so maybe not 30 minutes, but well under an hour.

Any interference issues w home electronics?

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the exact same setup for a backup to the 37' RV I live in. 240v is essential for 15k btu air conditioners.

Thanks for your videos. Am seriously looking at the DP not for its capacity but rather charging times… as in short. Off grid, Eastern Cascade mountains surrounded by trees so no solar YET. The DP will charge at 1800 watts with a charge time of 2 (ish) hours then run my stuff, the main hog is starlink, for a couple days. Rinse and repeat. I have a Honda eu3000. I’ll download the manuals and look at the charging specs but keep us off grid, non-solar hillbillies in mind. We all don’t live there in AZ ;) You rock.

I wish Will went one step further for us noobs and showed a specific suggested solar panel array including how to wire it up. This looks great, but most of us noobs would have no idea what solar panels to get, how to wire it (series or parallel), what gauge wire to use, where to put circuit breakers. I think Will has been doing this so long that he can easily do all of this just in his head, but he's forgetting about us noobs who come here to be shown the COMPLETE A to Z of how to build a full working system. Please do a follow video showing us your solar panel recommendations and how to wire it all up.

[@WillProwse]

I have videos that cover every single point here. Especially the wiring of multiple panels. Or my book that is one dollar.

[@WillProwse]

I try to avoid making the same video over and over again

[@MyChannel-vm6dw]

@@WillProwse Will, in most cases I would agree but in this particular case, people like myself are looking at the Delta Pro Max and are now considering your much better alternative and would like to build THIS system but have no idea how or what would be a scaleable cost effective way of picking which solar panels you would specifically recommend. Would someone choose series or parallel wiring for this setup. Please consider it Will. I know I and many other noobs want to build this system complete and trust your specific recommendations.

[@sj1047]

@@MyChannel-vm6dw agreed Will come on do it for the noobs!!! Just how to set up a array with this system.

photovoltaic / solar thermal technician here: you should just buy his book easy to understand or just watch every video he has put out. i bought the book to have in my collection because i like and support his work and knowledge. only few have taken my recommendation to go with SunPower made in the USA it's all about cost, many good solar panels out there. as to wire them in series vs parallel: in a series circuit, the current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component. in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component. residential homes are not wired in series, yes and no. wire the panels in series and connected in parallel. that's going to go over your head. if we want to compare with engines 6 cylinder with one barrel vs two barrels or a 8 cylinder with one barrel, two barrels, four barrels or a 6 pack with is 3 two barrel carburetors... memories woa i got off the subject 🤣 just buy the book Bro' and welcome to the club

In the home lab community, people mount server rack items to the Ikea Lack table after replacing the legs with a stronger wood. You can also screw wheels into the replacement legs and roll them. Deck screws should hold the wheels in place for years.

[@Nilz4FR]

Exactly what I have been looking for as the loud(!!) fans of these units make me go nutz indoors!

[@gkeith4120]

Will, your explanations are always excellent, please please please look up definitions of cheap vs inexpensive and up your game.🎉
