DIY Solar Generator - Portable Solar Station - Full Build

[@kel-in5gi]

I like how you speak in present tense Quiet Nerd. I also prefer present tense in writing, as in who cares to read an entire book in past tense.

[@Katiedid1975]

Is there nothing you can't do? With a mind like yours, you could change the world! Great video.

[@kalfaxplays7899]

i'd love to have one of these.

[@Electronzap]

Nice. Those are cool folding solar panels.

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

Nice little unit. You have a nice repertoire of gear to let you take your gaming setup wherever your imagination can take you. I see where this channel is going.

[@usdms13]

Kickass set up! I built one that fits into a tool box.

[@QuietNerd]

Thats awesome! Its a super fun project and super useful

[@robind7926]

WOW. You are so creative Quiet Nerd. I am impressed.

[@QuietNerd]

Thank you!

[@Wendmera2379]

I’m thoroughly impressed.

[@QuietNerd]

:D

[@ahoyseoulmate]

Yay!! So happy to see your upload today! You’re so stinkin brilliant, it’s mesmerizing 😲

[@QuietNerd]

Thank you I'm glad you enjoy :D - Cheers!

[@firtee_adorabold]

So cool. I know stuff like jackerys units are available, but they are no where near as aesthetic as this

[@QuietNerd]

It was fun to figure out and make as well :D

[@junaidmansourmahdi1392]

Great work 🧰 A solar system is good and save 💰

[@larrypeppard4921]

Wow, I mean wow! This is cool.

[@itarry4]

It is nice and a useful thing to have. There's a few things I'd do differently like I'd use an Aluminum suitcase so I could carry it one handed so I'd have a hand free when carrying it around, also might find a rucksack it fits nicely in so I would also make it thinner, just as high as the battery is used and I'd have put the controller panel in a different way, lastly I'd have made it slightly less permanent by installing the USB port properly without glue but I guess it was a quick solution to your issue. Still nice idea and something I'd definitely build if going camping etc.

[@Mikeecoman]

Great job, very neat - Love it !!

[@QuietNerd]

:D

[@akhurash]

Nice build! I’m looking to do something similar, so nice to see how you did it.

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks! I'm glad it helps

[@bustedaimbotgaming1763]

I freaking love this channel

[@tobileahrussothesoberlife]

I’m going through a lot of grief and sadness lately and I’ve been binge watching all your videos, I was so surprised when the next video came on and all your beautiful hair was gone! The new look looks great on you too

[@TheParkAttendant]

You also need to think in terms of weather proofing. As your going to be outdoors. And rain can absolutely wreak havoc on electricals. Edit: You can also visit any army navy store and find a good light metal box in place of wood.

[@marksadventures3889]

Wow, what a nice area, put that outside here abouts and it would be gone as soon as you turned your back. Rocking unit though.

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks and I get that

[@JakeBoi16yt]

i just found your channel and ive been watching for like 3 hours straight! great job man, one of the best and most creative youtubers ive seen! your so calm and relaxing to watch, while also entertaining and you build things that i myself would love to build but definitely could not.

[@rafael_army9]

U deserve more views

[@TheRewindKing]

Awesome man!

[@poisionivy]

you should take this camping with you in your next video.

[@rafael_army9]

Amazing.

[@kevdog20]

Great build I have built something like this and also did a video on it. I love to make and invent things. I wanted to give you some feedback. I saw you used hot glue for sealing some of the wire parts and such. I used to use this a bit too and well let's say I learned the hard way it's not the best thing and using it like you did could be a problem later. If this is ever in a place where it will get hot say you left it out in the sun or a car on a summer day all that hot gun can melt and reharden as this is what happen to one of my projects.

[@markcummings6856]

Very nice! Well done.

[@ELKASIDAV]

Bravo ! Subarashii ! Praise God for you !

[@MRSTU1210]

Fantastic work love it😊

[@robfrazier_]

Nicely done👍

[@QuietNerd]

Thank you!

[@Wendmera2379]

Thanks!

[@QuietNerd]

Wow Thank you for the support! :D

[@ebikeoutdoors]

Man great job I an wanting to do something like this to charge my homemade ebike off grid cheers mate 👍 ✌

[@GameAssetsGarden]

Love it! Great work!

[@susanmcmaster7894]

Very clever free power is always good i have a unit to charge my motorcycle batteries but we dont get much sun in wales uk 😂

[@cycloniclight]

Very Kool!

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks!

[@savumorso]

great video and for projects like these it would be really nice to see an estimate how much each part or atleast the full build materials cost :)

[@kestraavalon]

Cool video! :)

[@QuietNerd]

:D

[@ruthlward3240]

Personally, I would of used a plastic tool box. But a really cool project.

[@michaelbrinks8089]

If you could find a tiny plastic lunch cooler for free or at second hand store. Could make a nice lightweight box for it.

[@michaelcampbell296]

If ya don't mind my asking, what would a project like THIS set me back?

[@QuietNerd]

I think after everything it was around $500 or so I'm kinda guessing off my head. and I'm sure if you shop around and change parts out you can do cheaper for sure. The solar panels were the most of it. It was hard to find ones that folded up as small with decent wattage.

[@SlavTiger]

id have used blocking diodes in the parallel of the two arrays so they cant backdrive one another if one is partially shaded. Great execution otherwise

[@thebeardedhomesteader]

I think one of them harbor freight gun case's would make a good housing would be lighter

[@MelindaGilman]

nice

[@greenbillugaming2781]

i think the wooden box with plastic components in direct sun constantly for hours is not good. battery will also get very warm which will loose efficiency. there should also be some ventilation holes. components will cook inside the box in direct sun

[@iodtiger2]

Should have a products list, and where to get them. Also written out instructions.

[@maskamto3933]

Do you have academic background on tech? seems like you can build anything you want man 😮😮😮😮

[@petervalientes]

Heat from the battery ?

[@QuietNerd]

after 5 hours of running it under a load the internal temp of the box was only 86F so I'm not worries

[@Dogewisperer]

Can you make an upgraded version like with 4 batteries and 4 plugs? 😊

[@thebeardedhomesteader]

Do you have any links for the panels

[@QuietNerd]

I got them from amazon they are called "AIMTOM Portable Solar Charge 60W" Hope it helps!

[@thebeardedhomesteader]

@@QuietNerd thank you they look super handy

[@derlclark1759]

do you have a list of parts and/or links to supplier?

[@smileyface8124]

could it charge the wooden exploration car battery?

[@chance7671]

Where did you get all The parts to build it from.

[@stampedetrail2003]

Ooo I am very jealous. Would you like to share your product links?

[@toddlittles2786]

so where you get the products for this build???

[@hhgd-h2w]

DISCLAIMER: 12 volts it fine you can try this at home without dying (not joking 12v DC isnt enought to kill you)

[@BIGBUDDY291]

Awesome unit. Great job. Benjamin Nelson. made solar unit something like yours. Check him out on youtube.

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks! and ill have to check out his video

[@namaste597]

What was the cost of the build?

[@The-Lonely-Nexus]

can I buy this from you?

[@Eric_Tennant]

That will never run a microwave

[@lga9046]

these aren't E-Bike batteries, are they?...🔥🔥

[@RNDM85]

That's a ps one ...not be confused with the original ps

[@MichaelBoulewarejr-q7y]

Good job to you 🙊🙈🐫🦍😀

[@namaste597]

Where can I buy this unit , seriously...send me a message.

[@BleazeRadio]

Can i have it please

[@odinthebeardedone8738]

Not sure if this has been asked, but what solar panels did you use for this build?

[@nitrokicks2833]

How much it all cost for building your DIY Solar Generator - Portable Solar Station?

[@cgwworldministries83]

That is NOT a pure sine wave inverter, it is ENTIRELY too small.

[@QuietNerd]

It was marketed and labeled and sold as a pure sine wave inverter so I really hope it is one.

[@cgwworldministries83]

@@QuietNerd there’s lots of fake things coming out of china. It’s physically too small to be pure sine. It might be sawtooth sine at best. Pure sine are large and heavy.

[@cgwworldministries83]

@@QuietNerd the physics of pure sine conversion requires very heavy large copper coils and full bridge rectifiers.

[@AJYZF1R2010]

You lost me at power and charge itself 😂

[@sam_tetas]

Great plans for my next project I hope you do more stuff like this tnx :)
