not sure on solar system, i want to run two pond pumps 1/4 horse 3.6 amps and 415 amps is this system enough to run it or should i go larger , the pumps run 24 hours a day seven days a week , any help would be appreciated thanks in advance
How much did the whole setup cost?
@XxXAsxIxLayxDyingXxX A couple hundred bucks…
@london1817 ah thats not bad at all lol
Cool setup system, small and compact.

I would like to know can I run heavy electric appliances like refrigerator and Iron on solar panel, To run a referigerator how many of these panels I need.
london for this interesting video.
Nice frontside! That ramp looks fun!
@ILoveItSpicy Thanks…I grew up in San diego Ca. skating since 1977.
Very nice Rick. I have a similar system, was able to buy 2 used panels of 30W each (3 years old) very cheap and connected them parallel. So they’re now running 13.8V at 4 Amps max. The battery is a lead one and only 62 Ah. I basically use it for lighting: 3 fluorescent tube bulbs of 15W at 12V and a convertor for 220VAC to power my laptop.
I was wondering about your 67W television, how many hours can you watch it untill the voltage drops below 10V?
@PBFloyd7 Hey yeah pretty much about 1.5 hours then I get a little concerned about the batteries…I never run the batteries flat before bed. It will kill them in shiort order.
@london1817 Only your favourite program. Oprah?
I just ordered a Juta CMP24 charger with LCD, it will switch off all loads as soon as the voltage drops below a certain set voltage. But I’m still searching for a device that will automatically switch from inverter to the grid as soon as I run out of power. (I live in Netherlands Europe so it needs to be a 230V type) Do you have any idea if such a device exists and if so, what it is called?
@PBFloyd7 Right in the middle of Oprah! haha that was funny!
Wel as far as controllers…..Thats where you come in….Do your research.
tip : your LONG LONG wire from the battery to this charge / control having so much resistance , make it short.
Very nice bro. I just installed an Air X wind turbine in my backyard. We live in the country so I have nothing but corn fields around me for pleanty of breeze. My system is a hybrid solar/ wind. I only have a small solar panel but I want to build my own big ones. Next step is to vent the batteries in my garage to outside so no gases get in like yours I assume. Anyways, nice videos and keep up the good work. People learn from people and nobody is ever gonna learn if we don’t show em first.
@Authorityk Hey!! Thank you kindly for the comment!
How many watts is the air X ? I have heard they are very awesome.
try to be able to explain how you did it, why you did it, what it does, don’t just ramble.
i need some quality info so i can do it
so have you figured out how much money your saving on your monthly bill from before you installed it? just wondering, i have that same kit, but it came with different charge box. was thinking of getting another, and running two. just wondering how much i could run conservatively on 100 watts. thanks
great setup man we are working our way towards getting a system to charge our laptops and battery powered stuff. we dont use a lot of electrical stuff other than computers and lights. we are getting a coleman electric 2 burner stove and an electric pot cooker. these things are all we really need for electricity. we want it to be fully portable to be put in the house or popup trailer if we had to bug out.
@FixedByDoc Great thinking! Why would you haveto bug out?
Are you going to take it camping?
Thanks for the comment.
@london1817 bug out refers to having to evacuate for some reason. up here we can have bad snow storms and major floods or forest fires all of which would make us have to leave our home in a hurry i.e. bug out. i also teach a lot of courses in disaster safety and first responder courses for various agencies. this means i have to go on a lot of disaster response calls like katrina and having the popup to stay in on deployment makes me and my team extreemly mobile.
@FixedByDoc Oohh….That’s very important! & handy to know.
You would do great with a solar panel system for recharging power tools and
radio’s… cel phones…walkie takies. … giant lights.
bless you for helping people out in times of need.
@london1817 thanks
the Air X is a 400Watt 12VDC. It puts out just aroud 33 amps at full speed wind (20-30mph). I had a 40watt fuse hooked up while my turbine was running real fast and my solar panels were getting full sun . That fuse didn’t stand a chance. Went with a breaker now.
1:50 - Kind of a waste to go from DC to AC then back to DC
@shize9ine.the lights are hard wired to it…then the inverter is for what ever I want to do…..charge other thngs…power tools…run the TV. All I need.
