Very nice Bob! I need to do something similar in my out building. I’ve been procrastinating though. So … thanks for igniting my interest… which has put some giddyup in my get along. 🤙

Great ideas !! I have that battery box. But powerqueen 100 AH in it. That solar input is like 45V max. I just used a victron one into outher 50 amp ports. and the small panel into the black port. Works super good. You can plug power strip into it and run several items at once. That Ryobi stuff is awesome !! I got the battery 1 stage snow blower that takes them 40V HP batteries . It works in Cold routh NY snow !! You keep battery inside and warm until you need it. It gets warm using it. even in cold !! Then bring inside cool down and charge . I moved a foot of snow with a 1 stage battery blower. was a slow go but it got it done. I got tractor for the driveway . I just need a small blower to do around door to house and shop . Walk ways . My neighbor has the Ryobi 2 stage blower that takes 4 40V HP battery. It blow 2 ft of snow almost 50 feet away. I still in shock !! We joke about blowing snow in my yard and I have to buy a outher snow blower to blow it back to him. he is like 400 ft away . I got the 40V HP trimmer/brush cutter. it had changeable heads . Takes down brush with ease. Metal blade. Has plastic blade for heavy grass . Their is a pole saw I can get for it as well. Ryobi has battery lawn care stuff that is awesome !! I have that 18V ONE plus tools as well ! Some DeWalt as well. You got it. put them panels to work. The sun is FREE ! use it ! I have a few small stations myself ! NO GRID !! NO BILL ! Their is a 300 AH mini now !! We quite cold and snowy in NY. POLAR VORTEX !! Cheers !!

I've been seeing your weather! That's amazing that blower can throw that snow that far! Wish I had that kind of thing when I was in snow country! Just dinking around last few days here catching up on small projects. This morning the trade winds have kinda stopped and now have the VOG from the volcano blowing back in here. Hoping the trades kick back in later and clear it out. Aloha brother!🤙

@@ProjectsinParadise808 Their is video's on youtube how well Ryobi 1 and 2 stage battery snow blowers work ! EGO is another good brand . Cheers from NY !!!

Nice …here it snowed of and on all day and next week expecting 6 Fahrenheit tor the high temperature without the windchill…Pure Michigan. Hope your chickens are doing well here they keep getting that bird flu …have fun stay safe.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

We have had that bird flu detected here on this island. Hope it doesn't spread too much! Aloha!🤙

[@kennethwilson8633]

@ Maybe you will be lucky…hopefully you and the cats won’t get it…have you caught any of the wild pigs lately?

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

@@kennethwilson8633 So I just got a new smoker and been thinking of that very thing. 😉🤙

[@kennethwilson8633]

@@ProjectsinParadise808 Oh yes smoke one for sure…you can always solar freeze the leftovers.

[@cameronalexander359]

I have that same Ryobi mower in Australia...only here those same batteries are (labelled?) 36v. I'm sure inside they're same battery but won't fit into each other's equipment. Its amazing how manufacturers isolate their markets.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

That is interesting how the markets are different from place to place. Aloha Cameron!🤙

[@DougGoble]

Aloha 🤙🏻and not to cold here in south Tex.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Got some vog rolling through here this morning from the volcano, which has been putting on a pretty good show lately. Aloha brother!🤙

[@jonthebru]

The Ryobi battery replacements are really expensive! We need rain here in Haiku, Maui as well.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

I hear you on the price of those batteries, but they're worth it for the power.🤙

[@grindychum]

I noticed when you turned on the licitti it showed 13.2V then 15.1V then back to 13.2. Mine does the same among other issues.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Yeah, it jumps around some huh? Works fine though so far, but that display is a little cheesy. Aloha!🤙

[@grindychum]

@ProjectsinParadise808 I noticed the fan on the left side doesn't turn on until the load is above 500w

[@TheSimpleLivingAussie]

I fine several smaller micro solar systems are better than one big one. More to play around with and feed our solar addiction 😁

[@OFFGRID_Trucker]

Psst.. that little grass\clover leaf blocking the panel will negatively AFFECT charging input rate. I like that Lucitti box.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

🤣🤙

[@basecampwnc1745]

Don’t bother to do anything with the shelter logic the cover will rip right down the top And the company will do absolutely nothing about it

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

I hope it lasts awhile....so far so good🤙
