Want to install a solar powered system on your RV, van, or cabin? Are you concerned about price, amount of equipment you'll need, and just the overwhelming nature of it all? This video will walk you through our six simple strategies for getting the most out of a small, efficient system and help remove some of the barriers to going solar.
Since 2012, we've lived and traveled all over the North American continent with solar. Along the way, we have figured out how to maximize a very small solar powered system -- not only to meet our energy needs and those of our mobile business, but to thrive! You simply don't need to invest a ton of money on a roof full of panels and a huge battery bank, and you can leave that gas generator and those full hook-up campsites for good. Check out the breakdown of our system (and links to all of the components that we use) on our website: www.freedominacan.com/solar-p...
If you are brand new to solar, our "Solar 101 Course" is designed for you. Check it out here: • Solar 101: A Beginner'... In tandem, these two videos will help you design a system that meets your energy demands AND make the absolute most out of it!

This video is intended to help users plan, organize, calculate, and install a personal DIY solar powered electrical system. We, Shari & Hutch (Freedom in a Can, LLC), are neither professional electricians nor solar installers; we are educators who have learned to install our own system and to empower others to do the same. If you have questions, reach out in the comments section and we'll get back to you.
If you need further assistance beyond our advice, consult a solar professional or certified electrician. Electricity is dangerous, so do your homework, take it one step at a time, and good luck!
