That’s awesome Jesse! I think solar is a great industry to get into. I think more and more people are going to want small off grid systems like this one in their homes for power outages (which seem to be more common everywhere). The big companies tend to focus on big grid connected systems, but you might find a niche doing small back up systems for people.

I made this with a eg4 and am very happy with it. You can load it into your vehicle and use it instead of a generator on job sites where 5-10 KWH is enough for your day’s project. When I tried to start a medium- sized compressor the 5 kw battery would fault. A smaller compressor,however,worked just fine. I feel that with 2 batteries there’d be no problem. Since most of professional construction tools are battery operated,including even miter saws, all many of us need is a way to charge batteries. To be honest,I am retired and am ready to quit when the first tool dies.

[@chrisE815]

Nice! Maybe a portable panel setup is in your future?

[@jerrellbevers6071]

Most tools of professionals are corded still if they work anywhere but BFE. I would not hire a crew to build my house or do work for me of any significant size that only used cordless tools simply for the reason you stated. Production requires a cord.

[@Seqhael]

@@jerrellbevers6071that’s ridiculous lol, I’ve been a carpenter for years and many of the cordless tools make us significantly more efficient. Don’t know how you’re forming your opinions, doesn’t make any sense

[@jerrellbevers6071]

@@Seqhael There is no way you can keep up with corded tools and hoses with compressors. Anything else is a lie. Plain and simple. I've built houses for 30 years. I have thousands of dollars invested in cordless tools and 17 6.0 amp batteries. None of that competes with my corded tools but I still have and use them. They're getting closer and better but if you want real production and have access to power then you aren't maximizing your output.

I have been told by Signature Solar that if you were using an EG4 battery with communication, this fault would not occur even at a low SOC. I assume you are not using an EG4 battery.

[@EBKRV412]

@ItsMeGiga that's awesome and exactly what I'm thinking about doing as well. Did you wire the inverter directly to the rigs panel or did you wire up a 30a RV plug from the inverters output to plug the rig into the unit? Do you have a soft start on the AC Unit? Which 60a converter did you use? Have pics posted anywhere? I would love to see 👍

Thank you!! The math always worked on battery chem comparisons, just not the total dollar count for us. I could not wrap my head around all the components. Then you started the all-in-one reviews, and these last 2 vids on these builds. Finally with the cost made sense instead of paying for the simplicity of the commercial unit. We started 10 years ago with a Goal Zero Yeti 1200, replaced a battery after letting it discharge to 0%, adding a 2nd. I liked the info it gave, and being ready to go. Finally, DIY might be both the cost and “head-wrapable”(?)🤣

[@tomproctor.archive]

Will, what a cool innovation using the most basic but coolest all-in-one paired with a modern server rack battery. This blows the EcoFlows and Bluettis out for many of us in the market that are more than willing to not pay the premium for the fancy packaging and smaller size unit to instead get a scalable and cheaper (albeit less elegant) solution. I put together such a unit using the same all-in-one but with their battery, not the Trophy. I'm a big fan of Bluetti, but this is the way forward... Couple of notes: - I suggest using a heavier duty gauge output cord, given the potential of a 3kW output. I settled for a three way 10AWG splitter cord. I had issues with the suggested Yellow Jacket splitter box and wouldn't want to try to pass more than the 1875 rated watts thru it even after a few glasses of wine. - I also suggest using a 10AWG cord for the AC input cord. This thing will max out my 20 Amp AC wall outlet for a while when it is hungry, just sayin that'll get warm with thinner cords, and you almost feel like you need to be around when it's doing this. LOL. You can adjust the AC input voltage down if desired. - I had issues with sudden shutoff (and unsuccessful support calls) before I hooked up to AC in (with a proper ground). If you don't have a proper ground, this unit will possibly not be happy. After I grounded properly my shutoff issue went away. For many of us the whole point of a hand truck system is mobility. That's fine with this amazing design. Just bring a ground cord setup along for safety and reliability. I use an old strand of Romex that is attached to the bottom of the inverter and then runs to an iron stake deep in the ground, attached by a pipe clamp to the wire. Also, They supply a Nader breaker for the battery positive line. Rock and roll, Will. But how fantastic to see how small this technology is getting. I think Signature Solar is a little behind in terms of marketing. If this were just a little more polished I could sell a million units in California. This was unthinkable not long ago.

[@toronado455]

Great idea. I would maybe do this with one of those hand trucks that converts into a 4-wheeled cart.

[@Bob_Adkins]

Since I only use my power station for outages, dragging the large solar panels out of storage would be a down side. But that looks perfect for a cabin or entry-level off grid system! And the price is right too! Thanks Will!

This EG4 and Trophy combination should work fine, only I lack roof space for mounting an adequate solar array to keep the system charged. Thank Will!

[@Tumbleweed5150]

Perhaps you could get a utility trailer that you could mount more solar panels on?

[@kimmer6]

I am in the middle of building a unit for my 3/4 ton GMC van conversion using stuff left over from other projects. The 300 amp hour Chins lithium battery, Renogy 2000 watt inverter, and 40 amp MPPT solar charge controller fit in a box between the front seats. 2 weeks ago I installed 4 of the 100 watt solar panels on the roof and they are hardly visible. I lucked out and there is no wind noise and I can't tell they are there. The system is 3840 watt hours and has a Renogy bluetooth BT-2 unit and the Renogy shunt type state of charge meter. We use the van for 2-4 day long trips and want to run the smaller Instapot, air fryer, and power up the removable fridge. We usually do trips along the California coast so the temperatures are usually mild. I can run an extension cord and power my garage freezer with the van when I'm not using it. The EG4 is equivalent to 400 amp hours in 12 volt batteries, 5120 watt hours, more power for an AC unit.

Thank you I will try to build this!

Much appreciated! I have a 16x16 cabin that this system would be perfect for. We don’t need much, but do want a mini split as we’re in Alabama and it gets hot and humid here! I’m not naturally inclined to work with electricity, but think I could do this. You’re awesome, Will! Love your videos!!! ❤❤❤

EG4 has a Solar DIY (no vacuum) mini split

[@mfb6310]

I'm rooting for ya, GF!!

[@zmarko]

Great video Will!

[@paulhenry8174]

Perfect build

[@CaptBill69]

I think the EG4 3000 ... makes allot of sense for Reputation, and Abilities for the $, including how two or more units can be networked together on same battery bank, including for 240vac split phase out put. I was considering a basic EcoFlow Delta 2 w extra LiFePO4 battery (lesser than one you are comparing to/ as backup power at girlfriend's house) ... Now I am seeing how spending a little more translates into way more abilities and options ... Thanks for this review.

When I get ready to make a system, I will have to go through a bunch of your videos so I can make sure that I have everything I will need to make it correctly.

Thumbs up 👍 thank you for the information.

[@francespueo5367]

Will, you are awesome. Thank you for this post with easy set instructions. I just ordered this and shipping of course is expensive, $1,223 a reality living off on an island from the other 49 States. Shipping cost $1223, still cheaper then purchasing other solar generators like the Mango (has problems) or the $3,699 (not including shipping cost) comparison unit on your video. Plus Signature Solar company is handling everything yahoo! Total $3,415.

$1,223 shipping for battery and inverter to Oahu? Ouch!

Long time no seen thanks for another video, your the best !

Thank you WILL ,FOR YOUR RELENTLESS DRIVE TO DELIVER SUPER INFORMATIVE CONTENT! Thank s !Ron🤠

Thank You for another clear video 👍👍👍

Signature Solar has the best customer service. I received the EG4 3kw and the EG4 48v battery a few weeks ago and just ordered the Blue Sun 460w Bifacial panels. I did not know they gave a military discount when I ordered the inverter and battery, so they gave me a refund for the amount of the military discount. That is what I call EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

[@deniseschnose337]

I just got this system & want to add the solar panels. How many did you buy? When I try to buy 3 it says the minimum is 10...

[@michaelbradley1636]

Signature solar had the best price for EG4 inverter. I am setting up a 48V system with 10 x 250W USED panels from SanTan solar, the panels were $50 apiece. I don't expect to get 250W from each panel, or course, would be nice to get 200W max on very sunny days this summer. The panels should be about 9A x 28 V each, so the 10 panels should be abut 280V and 9A max output, so the EG4 should easily handle it. I looked everywhere for any controller which could handle over 200V; the only one is the EG4.

Ok, you've done the Harbour Freight hand truck build. Time to do their service cart and wagon builds! 😊

[@alexanderpappas68]

Will, please do a review on several stepdown converters at once. Make a good video about this. The one you recommended in this video is well known to many of us as one you never want to use. Bang, fire, smoke, loose everything... Yeah this is dangerous. We really need a safe and reliable option. I like my life and my home. I prefer to keep them uncooked.

[@Zbee167]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.

[@bwuepper439]

"buy a second inverter and put it in an EMP bag! " Will, are you preparing for the worst? Great content in this video. Thank you.

[@tuberdave1]

Very impressive Will thank you 😊
