Mark, you are exactly like my grandfather was, a freakin genius! Man, he’s
shown me things like you’ve got posted here for years and I wanted to thank
you from the bottom of my heart for bringing those memories back
brother…. I’m 31 years old and have a 4 year old and I hope that I can
show/teach him these things before America collapses under the pressure of
idiots we have in charge today…. Thank you again

after I managed to build my own solar … I can’t consider that I am
thinking to sell energy.. WOW… This man has made a company out of it and
now help others *aboutsolarcells.comxa.* *com* will learn how and what to
do and you also get help should you need it… good luck to everyone. And
this isn’t to overlooked sing up on Nikola Tesla
*freeenergygeneration.pixub.* *com* approaches that are good can be found
by you here.

I cant understand a word your saying. Even in a quiet room with head phones
turned all the way up.

Yes I am happy with the system. I run several appliances and some lights. I
will have a new video on camping in a couple of weeks. Going on my anually
mancation.

@ajarnjoshua Thanks. I like the 3″ x 6″ cells grade A 1.8watts

Yes the pure sine wave is better. Years back I got a good deal on this
inverter and that is why I bought it. You need a big inverter to start a
refrigerator “around 3000 watts”. I run 3 referigertors off mine. The
modified sine wave inverter is more efficient and only uses around .3 amps
when nothing is on.

I don’t think you can recharge a vegetable battery, the vegetable will rot.

I think the issue is a poor lav mic. I notice audio changing drastically
depending on where your voice is being projected. The video is freakin
awesome though, great camera! What size cells should I be looking for on
ebay? What dimension’s and with what outputs?

Yes you need a diode at every panel even with a battery bank.

@tomlauwers Hello. That is how I have my system. You have to have a charge
controller. The power from the panels goes to the controller and then to
the batteries. If the batteries are full the controller will disconect the
panels. You wire the inverter straight to the batteries. You can then plug
in your appliances to the inverter. Mark

Is it best to use deep cycle or conventional batterys for a solar system?
markp0177 says:
December 12, 2014 at 8:40 am (UTC 0)
Deep cycle battery has less plates but the plates are thicker and will give
you more amp hours. A car battery has more plates that are thin. It will
give you a lot of amperage for a short time. Gell batteries work best but
they cost more.

@markp0177 thanks for the video, but at least do the audio portion over
again and re-upload so that people can understand. I really wanted to watch
and learn but I just couldnt get past the audio. thanks for your
understanding!

question about the diodes……..are these only for home made panels? I
haven’t heard anything about having to install them on commercial panels.
You don’t have a 600v dc disconnect between the panels and the charge
controller?

True, the open air could help. I have found that the corrosion usually
forms around the -ve terminals, but on just some occasions you get it on
the +ve too. I suspect that is when certain materials are used for the
connection. Some people put a special kind ov spray over the compleated
connections to inhibit the corrosion. Which is something I might look at,
as I can’t have mine outside – people would nick ’em around here..! heh

hi mark good job….i’m planning to install solar panel in my house in the
