@@johnnysweekends hi, l have a question, does your mini split shuts off automatically once the desired temperature is reached? Thank you

[@johnnysweekends]

No they dont really ever shut off, they just spool way down and then power draw is minimal to maintain the set temp. Inverter mini splits dont shut off but are way quieter and more efficient. Only if turned off, sleep mode or not enough power will the unit power off. You can set timers as well to have a schedule for on and off. I turn mine on and off all the time or depending what im doing if solar is plugged back in I have it set to come on when there is enough sun for start up.

It is really cool for sure. It’s nice to be able to just have it run. And thanks Kris for checking it out.

[@SuperSushidog]

I just purchased an EG-4 12k mini-split to go on the back of our motorhome. I chose the other option, the 28.5 SEER-2 model as the DC voltage coming from the solar array racked on the roof of my MH is too high for this unit (399voc). I wanted the higher efficiency AC only unit as I'll be running off the inverter, off-grid most of the time. I have 4,400 watts of solar panels, so I have enough solar power to run the 120v mini-split and charge my 320ah 48v battery at the same time. My inverter will run directly off solar, with no batteries in the loop, so if my battery is full, my mini-split will run directly off of inverted solar power, leaving the battery topped off until the sun goes down.

[@sspyder181]

I love my eg4 12kbtu unit. Been running it for 7 months. I have saved 286kw of usage.

[@johnnysweekends]

Ahhh I knew I would to and I have been so far behind on this. Took me forever to just order it and do it. So many other things going on and other video I kept forgetting to get one 😂 But hey, better late than never 😀👍🏼 And so far with it plugged into the rv, technically its powered for free now. Obviously its cost was the unit and RV material but better than letting the RV sit there. Use it for more. 😁

[@sspyder181]

@johnnysweekends I have my panels set up on a "mobile" platform and it doesn't require code or inspections. Of course it has a dedicated 20 amp breaker in the box but so far about 40% savings on all my ac and heating. Totally awesome stuff and loved the video

Yea it wont be long till they come looking for all of use and want some money…😂 and yes definitely awesome. And thank you 😀👍🏼

[@mikeremillard5414]

would this cover a 700 sqft space as an offset to my main a/c

[@johnnysweekends]

@mikeremillard5414 I definitely think it will help especially since it will be in a more insulated space. If you can help keep it cool by using solar it will make it to where you won’t have to run the main unit hardly as much. I may even get a discount but I’m waiting for a response

[@SmitHVAC.]

It's awesome to see these taking off! Ive made a bunch of videos on mine, they're awesome!

[@johnnysweekends]

Yea they have only been getting better over the last few years and now with Dc options is allows people to take so much advantage of solar power. Is this for everyone ? No but it can work for so many. And they made them simpler which opens more doors

[@SmitHVAC.]

@@johnnysweekends it's a great option for someone who wants to get their feet wet with solar and enjoy the perks of saving money on heating and cooling. It's way cheaper to install one of these with a few panels than to install a whole inverter and battery bank with a standard mini split

[@johnnysweekends]

No problem Jeff. It’s definitely gonna be nice to have a cooler and warmer garage. Although i need to insulate a little lol because there is none, 😂

[@SaabAholic]

I was given a Magnum power inverter. I hear it’s a very powerful unit. With a 12v 100ah 1.28Wh LifePo4 battery, would that application work on the EG4 mini split? It’s a Magnum MS 2812 Inverter/ Charger.

[@johnnysweekends]

1280 watt hours is not much and you never get full spec. So that would give you about 1150 watt hours of power give or take depending on the energy draw. And if the mini split is drawing a 1000 watts that’s only a hour or so. Plus inverter loss. So about one hour on that. But it needs at least 90v dc which seems a pinch more is better closer to 100v or a 110v ac power source.

[@SaabAholic]

@@johnnysweekends OK thanks. I’m learning as I go here! I’ve got solar panels but need to add a few more to the array if I want to run it strictly from solar. I do have a Delta Pro. 😎

[@johnmal5975]

Pretty neat would be nice for a camper or single room. 12000 btus should cool 600 sq. feet. Maybe use it to take load off your regular ac? Or depending on house size you would need 3, 4 or 5 of these. Just the same nice backup for a room or 2 in your house if you lost your lights.

[@johnnysweekends]

Yea so far it’s great in the garage. Once everything is cool even if you open the door in 10 mins or less it’s cool again because everything else has been cooled down

[@Jasonoid]

Sweet! Glad you're using you RV when it's parked there, great idea! Does this also act like a heat pump?

[@johnnysweekends]

Yes!!! Heating, cooling and dehumidifier or just a fan if you want!! These have so much potential for heating and cooling at a low cost depending how you set it up!

[@gosolxsolar]

When I got the 9k EG4 heat pump, I thought it would be DC solar ready. However, even though the labeling on the outside unit talks about solar, there appears to be no terminals on the outdoor unit to accept DC solar. Since I have microinverters which output AC solar, I mounted a combiner box (main lug panel) next to the heat pump outdoor unit. So, the solar lands in the panel and the heat pump lands on a breaker in the panel too. The truth is, in a way this is better than having solar dc go to the heat pump unit. I was never sure if extra solar would back feed to the grid through tge heat pump. Should work great if I didnt kink any hoses. That part was tricky. I got a good hiss of air on the half inch line when I turned the allen key. But the quarter inch line didn't release much which worries me a bit.

The eg4 is cool. I bought the inovair 9000 btu which is 38 seer and only pulls a couple hundred watts off my batteries and panels. It was about twice as much as the eg4 but it's great on solar or batteries day and night. I like the fact the eg4 has its own panel hookup and all but after studying up on minisplits I'm glad I chose the inovair. Same install really tho

[@flolou8496]

I wonder if it's economical yet to consider the additional capital it would take for a 24,000 BTU unit to run on solar? It seems it makes a lot less sense in areas where the minisplit is going to run 24/7 from May to August, in really warm areas of Arizona, and Nevada where it's still over 85 degrees in the evenings, I know there are solar panels that produce over 700 Watts per panel now, but can a system like this along with the powerstation or batteries, come out to less than 2500.00 (excluding the minisplit of course) ?

[@johnnysweekends]

The mini split is gonna be $1700 ish dollars alone. If you can find some 300-350 watt panels used that would be best way to save money. But batteries would be needed. But a 24k btu is also gonna be a 220v unit

[@jordanhart9441]

Did you link the exact ecoflow kit and amount of battery storage/ panels needed to run this daily off-grid? I'm looking for a solution for my cabin/ treehouse. Also, would you be willing to get paid for install and all travel expenses if you could help me? Thx!

[@johnnysweekends]

In order to run this all day off only solar and batteries say 24/7 you would need a decent setup, like a 15k battery bank and a lot of solar to recharge that bank during the day. Almost two different setups. I run mine for about 10 hours or so when im in the garage doing stuff. But its two different systems. My Rv and the panels on the ground. Sorry it would be cheaper to find someone local. To many variables and cost and I dont have the time.

[@johnnysweekends]

I think you missed the message. If you already have that stuff then utilize it, or if you want a cheap heating and cooling unit its a great option, or buy $250 worth of used panels and throw them on the ground and run it. That will pay for it self in know time.

Just saying if you already own the stuff, then you have already paid for it. And $250 can get you used panels that will power it. And pending where you live how it’s set up it will pay for it self in no time. Especially if you are on top tier energy consumption

[@anthonyglaser929]

Are you running the solar panels into a controller? If so which controller are you using? Did you wire all of the panels in series or parallel or series/parallel?

[@johnnysweekends]

The mini split has its own controller !! So you plug the panels right into the mini. You wanna do series to hit higher voltage of up to about 350. Unless you split the array then parallel in. But it doesn’t need a lot of amps so series is ideal. They are also having sales and combined with my discount code they are a pretty good deal. Plus they have a 24k btu unit as well. But 220v 👍🏼😀

[@2239968]

What happens when the unit doesn't have enough solar to run? Is the switch to grid immediate or is there a delay?

[@johnnysweekends]

It balances between the two. So it with use what ever it needs from wither solar or the grid. Solar is priority if hooked up and when it’s starts to drop it with pull power from ac and keep going till solar is gone. 👍🏼

[@majid_us]

@johnnysweekends I am just making sure that I understand the way the unit operates. So, the unit is required to be plugged into a 120-volt outlet for its operation. Is that correct??? I am assuming the unit has no internal battery storage. Therefore, it needs to be plugged in just in case a cloud goes by. Is that correct???

[@johnnysweekends]

So it can be powered fully off of solar only. I have had it plugged in for the last 3 days and AC not connected. It will get enough power to turn on and run the fan about 7:50am and then about 8:20 enough solar will then kick the pump on and away it goes till about 6:30pm. Then shut down. Obviously days are getting shorter. And this is when powered from RV solar only. Now because of my yard the ground mount is different. Now when it comes to shade……so my RV has a series parallel string. So depending how much shade the unit will go from full power at 1050 watts which is about as much I have seen down to 300ish watts and still run the pump. So cold air is still blowing but not as much when fully powered. Now if it was plugged into AC it would draw as much as it could from solar as priority and if shade comes AC will be pulled to keep the unit running at max power or what ever the setting. It’s great. My garage is 78-80 on a hundred degree day. Which now I need to insulate it…lol. Over all I wish I did it last year but just was busy and forgot lol.

[@K6WRF]

I have a similiar setup for a minisplit to cool my garage.. although the AC that powers the condenser come from the factory with the AC cord on the evaporator inside the garage connected to a wall outlet. Was getting it looked at cause there was an issue with a fan on the wall unit and they tried to tell me code required that i have an emergency disconnect on the external unit. .. but i see you're plugging yours directly from the condenser and a line must run through your wall to the evaporator to power it. Wwanted to bull my $1100 to run that disconnect which i declined.

[@johnnysweekends]

True if it was going inside it would need it’s own disconnect. But since this is a stand alone unit not powered by the house, well it changes the rules. And when I sell the house, the power cord will be wound up nice and disconnected and no solar cables will be plugged in. So it essentially will be a unfinished install. New owner will have to have someone wire it or they can plug it into a outside generator or…. We’ll ya know 😂

If mounting condenser behind rv in a modified carrier attached to the hitch, do I need the rubber feet? TIA ❤

[@johnnysweekends]

YES…they are pre charged! So adding length can be done but you need to discharge the lines properly then recharge them. This might require a hvac tech. The rubber feet may not be needed in your case as it’s little just to absorb and prevent vibration.

Maybe after I get done with a few more vids I have lined up ill do a video on EcoFlow delta pro and generator use stuff and how it has been doing. So far its great as I travel with my fridge on AC and never use the propane now except for hot water or fire pit. And I never worry about battery issues.

Not sure if this makes sense but I have 3000w of solar now and am trying to figure out how to best use my panels by charging them and running the unit. Seems like it may be best to have 1500 watts to the unit and then run 1500w to the battery bank and also plug the unit into the batteries so that it won't run off any grid power.

@scottfreedom2012 unfortunately can’t power from bluetti dc out as it’s not enough power. 90v minimum. Hence combo of solar and also plugged into AC 110v outlet or hard wired works great. But solar during the day to power it and extra solar for battery storage! Or just cut the bills down gradually

@@johnnysweekends Thanks kinda figured that would be the case. I’m fine with it but was trying to figure out how to maximize storage and running the unit. Maybe run 1500 watts to the unit and the rest to the battery and when its not enough solar it can just pull from ac outlet on battery. Either way it’s free power from the sun and can eventually help pay back investment. Right now just running a window air con unit and it just not as efficient. Again thanks!

@@johnnysweekends word brotha, how much is the discount for?

[@johnnysweekends]

@SynthToshi hmm 🤔 I forget I think $50 Or is it 5%.. lol been a while since I looked since I have several for different companies lol.

[@kenklose]

Can the line set be extended?

[@johnnysweekends]

It’s already pressurized which is why it’s so easy to install for just about anyone. You can extend the set but you will need to charge it for the additional set from what I was understanding

[@callmebigpapa]

Can it auto switch between grid and solar?

[@johnnysweekends]

Yes!! If solar is hooked up it will be priority and as solar starts to drop off grid will feed what it needs to keep it going then eventually grid will take over with solar is no longer available. I also have a $50 discount code for anything over $500….

[@diaperdood1]

Is this running straight from the solar panels or a lithium battery?

[@johnnysweekends]

Straight from panels. My Rv powers it or the ground panels. I play around but mostly the Rv. This comes with a Mppt solar controller built in. So when it hits a high enough voltage the fan kicks on then a little later it has enough and the pump kicks on and away it goes. It runs now with days getting shorter and the trees in the way from about 9am to 6pm ish. Which will continue to drop because of some shade issues

[@diaperdood1]

thank you for responding!! I subscribed to your channel!!! @@johnnysweekends

[@SynthToshi]

where did you get the rubber mounts from?

[@johnnysweekends]

Should be in the links

[@mangotwiss]

Quick question. You didn’t use batteries, how does solar energy saves ?

[@johnnysweekends]

The solar panels simply power this as it has its own charge controller built in to supply power at the needed DC voltage. Once the sun comes up and voltage hits the spec it needs it starts working, sun goes down and it eventually shuts off. You can buy panels cheap and this could in every day heating or cooling with enough solar and eventually pay it self off and continue to supply heat or cooling for years. I have discounts as well

[@mangotwiss]

@@johnnysweekends thank you for replying so quick. I’ve seen so many videos about inverter and battery banks that I’ve seen your installation pretty neat. What’s called? Is this the one that goes to the city ? Selling energy to the city?

[@johnnysweekends]

This does not sell energy back to the city. It’s a stand alone unit. And eventually can and will pay for it sell depending where you source your setup and how expensive your utilities are. This is where to get this unit with a discount code as well. They are so simple im doing another in a few days…..

[@Jake.Gentry]

Very nice! What is the app for it?

[@johnnysweekends]

The app is called solar Aircon

[@onlywenilaugh6589]

Powered for free, minus the cost of the solar panels, batteries, charge controller, wiring, connectors and fuses, etc. etc.

[@johnnysweekends]

But if you already had all that and paid for it to be used for that system. Well now you can power other items. Or you could power this for about $250 with some used panels easy. Ok so powered for $250 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@christiananthonyduarte]

Buy once, cry once

[@Nathan-wf3fr]

No battery or solar controller needed.

[@johnnysweekends]

Nope ! Throw some panels down and go 👍🏼

[@raymondpalacios3032]

I see a 10k system as a minimum. That's material costs only. Tack on the labor cost for the folks who have no clue how to turn a wrench.

[@vladimirkrul7862]

EG4 is Deye hybrid minisplit

[@johnnysweekends]

Yesss!

[@takahiroyoshiyuki]

So like 12 harbor freight panels could power this?

[@johnnysweekends]

Yesss but o would try and grab some larger panels if you could. Would make install a lot easier. Can get old panels that are 280-385 watt for about $165 each

[@takahiroyoshiyuki]

@@johnnysweekends people around here sell used panels but I don’t know if I could trust them, anyway to test them?

[@takahiroyoshiyuki]

@@johnnysweekends there’s a guy selling used trinasolar (280w) silfab (300w) s-energy (350w) solarworld (270w) Canadasolar (280w) axitec (265w) solaria (330w) for .35 cents a watt “Solar PV”

[@johnnysweekends]

Yea you can first look at overall condition. Then do open circuit voltage test then a load test with say a power station to see if it puts out a good steady input number. Best to go in middle of day when its clear to see max wattage and try and get panel at max radiance of the sun. No shadows basically.

[@LarryDoti]

I got 10 Canadian solar 385 watt panels from Signature Solar for $177 each. It takes 3 to power the 12k unit. It has been working awesome so far. I have 2 units and I have zero complaints. I also have 2 SS 48 volt batteries to power my system when the sun goes down. Please remember you can get a 30% tax rebate for solar batteries and heat pumps. This will help you pay off your system faster.

[@TheMajictech]

I wouldn’t recommend the rubber feet with those solid copper lines, eventually the lines will fatigue and crack due to the flex allowed by those rubber feet. Flexible rubber lines yes, copper no!

[@johnnysweekends]

Copper is not solid. It’s semi rigid and meant for vibrations. You have to bend them like crazy just to position them. The foot pads are pretty rigid in them selves but even with no concrete anchors it does move.

[@TheMajictech]

@@johnnysweekends I get that, but if you talk to an HVAC professional they will tell you bending it to fit is one thing, repeatedly bending it work hardens it and it will crack.

[@johnnysweekends]

Good to know 👍🏼

[@migmigjohnson6083]

The direct solar gimmick doesn't change anything at all. I've been running 15000 btu on solar for the past 3 years, and didn't have to install dedicated panels for the unit (they power entire RV instead). Want to revolutionize the solar industry? Raise the pesky 22% efficiency of the solar panels.

[@johnnysweekends]

Good for you. I have installed systems larger than a Mega watt and more close to that, but dont see me bragging about it. This is simply for those looking for a nice solution especially if you want to heat or cool a space cheaper from either grid power or your own DC setup. And if you have a big rv siting on the side of your home, use the thing more than just a rv sitting there. Many places need permits even for diy, rv and trailers dont. Install all you want and now you have a mini power plant. Solar efficiency will get much better soon. 5 years it will be close to 40% maybe higher

[@migmigjohnson6083]

@@johnnysweekends That's really good news and I hope it's true. 40% would truly revolutionize solar. That's the worst bottleneck right now.

[@johnnysweekends]

The new solar cell tech coming out hopefully will be true and make it to market. And with bi- facial that’s only helping boost a little more wattage out of the same footprint.

[@suppaman12]

That’s an expensive power system which I’m sure will need to replace sooner than later. Too young a tech.

[@johnnysweekends]

The system that is powering the unit now is used as a example. You can easily buy large solar panels for cheap and if you wanted throw them on the ground and will easily do the same thing for cheap. And will heat and cool as soon as the sun hits the panels. Now where you live will determine if it’s worth it or not.

[@Marco-Alexi]

Can you park your RV at my house ?? 😂

[@johnnysweekends]

Uhh please I need room for projects 🤣🤣
