Love the labels!

3000w very nice, you can run a small house with that system, good emergency system if they have a power outage.

Nice project.

Great presentation and information. Did Renogy suppy pre-cut wiring? Nice set up.

At about 3:15, you say you have "already assembled everything and tested everything..." What kinds of testing were done and what kinds of equipment is required to test these components? Thanks, Linn. An excellent subject and a very good video.

@darbinorvar 6 ай бұрын

It was easier to assemble the parts on a piece of plywood and test them with a multimeter than do it on site, mostly because it was so hot in the greenhouse. When I say test, I just wanted to make sure nothing was damaged in shipping.

Were there any fuses used in the system to protect the equipment? Nice install by the way. Good job.

@darbinorvar Ай бұрын

There are fuses built into the combiner box connections. It's in the video part where I assemble it.

If this had to be paid for by the homeowner, would you recommend this setup or just running a power line from the house?

@darbinorvar 6 ай бұрын

the greenhouse is pretty far from the house, so you'd need to dig a trench and probably install breaker too.

Are you running north of $5,000 dollars instead of a 100 foot extension cord?

I love what you do! i REALLY amazing. A simple dumb question why not choose all in one inverter instead of seperate charge controller you could get just one piece wiring would be much simpler maybe cost effective too!

@darbinorvar 6 ай бұрын

expandability is the main reason to go with the separates. there is also the benefit of a lot higher solar voltage.

@ferdm9646 6 ай бұрын

@@darbinorvar I got that idea, but nowadays off-grid all in one system also has higher voltage input as high as 500v and they can be in parallel. With the help of WiFi dongle you can monitor your shed from home or anywhere. But good luck.

Its more efficient and affective if you connect the positive to the oppressive battery so you have negative and positive going out put the negative on one battery and the positive on the other then thats really combines both and is more efficient

@darbinorvar 6 ай бұрын

that is a good point. i will change it. i just didn't think of it.

@TomRyan-jk1bw 3 ай бұрын

So you have to remove the panel to replace the fuse

I want to do a similar project! Do I need a grounding cable because I see you haven t used one as well? I hope you answer! Tnx

I’m still trying to understand which direction to mount the inverter. I instruction manual says to never mount it vertically to always mount it horizontal. I see lots of vertically mounted inverters on KZbin. I understand heat flows up so vertical with the fans blowing up would seem most logical.

What size Wires did you get for the inverter and battery cords? Doing a tiny house project and using solar panels myself.

@ViniciusRomeroBelem 2 ай бұрын

I have one solar panel of 80w

@DMam4907 6 ай бұрын

Wouldn't it be cleaner, simpler and more cost effective to just get a solar generator with a few panels?

@hglez86 6 ай бұрын

I imagine you would still need batteries if you want to have some power at night, which would require the inverter anyways.

@DMam4907 6 ай бұрын

@@hglez86 All solar generators have batteries and inverters built-in, so you don't need to build all this stuff yourself. This is 2024, we are way past needing this kind of assembly for the power needs of this shed.

@darbinorvar 6 ай бұрын

you could certainly do that, but this is meant to be expandable. more panels, more batteries...etc. most of the solar gens are pretty limited with the voltage they can handle from panels ~ 20-40vdc or so. and you can get external units that go to 400 or 500 if you wanted.

@rayberger2694 5 ай бұрын

Sorry but I do not like your inverter installed vertically, All of the openings / ports are now more subject to debris entering them, plus if there are any indicator lights you can not see them. I always install my inverters horizontally.
