DIY Off Grid Shipping Container - Solar Powered Office or Tiny Home

[@F-Bomb313]

dude, that solar panel frame is the cat's meow, nice design

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Wait til you see what we are working on right now 😁😁😁👌

[@c.s.herman860]

Is a 45° panel much better than laying it flat? EDIT: I guess for snow it makes sense

[@stephenellis6651]

Nice change to your normal videos. Making it more about tiny living I hope you get tons more customers. You never stop surprising us with your endless imagination for what is basically a metal box. Keep up the good work guys.

[@cowichecanyonranch]

I always look forward to watching your new uploads, keep up the amazing work.

I will be building tiny houses and other modular systems out of sea cans, while searching for ideas and other like minded folks I came across this channel. This really is amazing content. I like the idea of having a storage area too, had considered maintenance area on the double door side, but hadn't considered opening it up to greater volume of storage than systems/mechanical. Very great idea.

[@lorenrickey5481]

Great job! Lot’s of good ideas.

[@The9Pauls]

Love how you ran a stick of strut down the one side to hide the wiring. Good thinking

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Thanks. It worked well

[@rsellers]

Learning A LOT! Thank you!

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Thanks for watching!

I always learn something new!👌

[@simpleman6542]

I would like to see yall make a off grid camp... keep it simple...

[@fluxpistol3608]

Keep honest people out lol! That's a good one! BTW as an honest person. I could pop the hinges on those latches and have access very quickly. Best to cut a slot in the window grate next time. Otherwise a really well made container for what it is!

[@-5056]

This is almost exactly like what I want to build with a 40ft container!! I want a bar on the closed off side, double doors in the middle, and the the open side of the container I want it walled off like you have 🎉

[@raysolpv]

INNOVATIVE👍

[@0tekelg2]

Thank you!

[@JamesT65]

I am looking at building precisely this for a remote area in the Philippines with 20kw batteries and 6 x 500w panels. This will run satellite comms and 5g comms as well as keeping power on during a calamity event / typhoon etc.

[@PaulBodyBuilder]

Yes

[@johndsmith-gv8zh]

Very nice

[@sprint48219]

Actually the Kid charge controller is called the kid because it was designed by a kid who started working at Midnite Solar sweeping the floor and was very interested in what the engineers were doing and picked up on what he learned from them and designed the controller The company does outstanding stuff

[@petepetersen2159]

Where are you located? Would like to come and see your operation! Pete and Judy

[@alanheadrick7997]

I like the Meth screens, definitely a good option. But you need some sort of Meth hardware to keep the solar panels from getting prematurely recycled.

[@XeLYoutube]

i just need the forest to drop it

[@jerkychew899]

What are you using to mount the adjustable support brackets to the panels? They look like some sort of swinging hinged bracket.

[@veronicalake2751]

Thanks, guys.⚡😊👍🇺🇲⚡

[@shubzshubz4164]

Amazing

[@lamarrthompson8398]

Would you be able to power a heating pump to solar power???

[@eduardosanchez7792]

Bear proof windows this would make a cool little hunting cabin, what's the price tag on this

[@P99665]

Please guide which brand we can use for similar grid system india for container house.

[@jackwilliamson1929]

Hey couldn't you put the skylights in the side walls instead and didn't you say that the spray insulation would crack if it not level so would it crack during the shipping and set up process?

[@briancollard7030]

Hi do you build and ship to CA?

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

I don't see why not. Email [e-mail]

[@britgamarra3361]

Berry picking shacks? I think I get it.

[@halledwardb]

Just a suggestion, but you might want to put some retainers under the open window security screen. Wind will make it a noisy day with that SS steel banging around all day. Really like the PVC wall panels!

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Thanks Edward. We installed some rubber bumpers for it to hit but something to hold it down is a good idea. The customer is handy and I'm sure they'll come up with something.

[@mltndeal5120]

Where did you get your security window screen?

[@robinseitz9692]

Could you add an inverter fir 120 volt power and have the solar panel(s) charge the batteries ? To charge cordless tools etc.

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

100%

[@robinseitz9692]

The reason I ask is I have a container I keep my RTV in for chores it would be great to have heat and light to plug in the RTV, as the property is not mine, so connecting to the grid isn’t an option. I like what you did with the container in the video.

[@JohnBraman413]

what's the biggest size container you can get?

[@NicholasSup]

Can you put a link to the pvc wall panels please? Looks like an awesome product… thanks.

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Hello Nicholas, thanks for the question. Here is the link for the pvc wall panels: www.nuformdirect.com/products/reline/

[@siarlbychan]

I looked at your window frame kits on Amazon. Specifically the largest, 60" x 36". Are the dimensions outside or inside dimensions for the glass and gaskets?

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

The dimensions listed are the framed opening. The rough opening will be larger. If you purchase an advertised 60" wide x 36" tall vinyl window with 1" nailing fin, it'll work great.

[@JoVeda_xo]

Im add on instagram for reminder. Good to know 😊

[@ernieforrest7218]

So how do you modify a shipping container, so it dosent look like a modified shipping container?

[@rosescot8386]

I am working on a tiny container, I can not find any information on the internet how to pass power from outside the shipping container through what I call the “the hull” to the inside and maintain a water tight integrity, any suggestions?

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

What do you mean by "the hull"? The side wall corrugations? The end wall corrugations? The wood floor?

[@rosescot8386]

@@TheContainerGuyTV yes, the side corrugation

[@ToddAdams1234]

Channing, your mod guys will ultimately have a better/easier time using a plasma cutter instead of a cut-off wheel/grinder.

[@kalzifer8574]

here a tip from my research and "try the wrong shhhhht some salsman try to sell you way overpriced". panels: ja solar, everything else: victron energy. try to get the stuff not over a reseller of a re re re seller cuz you knew every chain costs money - buy direct! currently looking forward to get small electrolysor and hydrogen store for small offgrid contend and stockage (hydrogen car f.ex better than lithium ion electric crap) but the wip there is loooong

I don't understand why so many builders use foam. It makes the rest of the install a total nightmare. just frame the container, run the wire, then insulate, throw up the walls. if extreme weather conditions, foam makes sense but don't get it.

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

We're from Canada. Our weather conditions are extreme. Fibreglass batt insulation in shipping containers is unhealthy. Don't recommend it to people, please.

[@gwm6102]

@@TheContainerGuyTV Never heard fiberglass batt was unhealthy. Why?

[@karenromero1703]

Why don’t you just work with detachable container units that you assemble. No crane need, already has insulated panel walls, don’t have to make cut outs, seems like they take away most of the cons of container homes.

You never disappoint 👏👏 bravo. May the creativity over flow in your mind so you may create more and an increase in your revenue 🤍
