Years ago while watching Jason build his first home I made a comment that I thought Jason couldnt build shit but he was proving me wrong, Jason thought it was the best comment he had received so far. Years later, look at him now, there is nothing this young man cant do. So much respect for you Jason.

So happy for you and Danielle. It’s been a long time come.😊❤❤

Glad to see that you are sponsored by Bluetti. For the tiny house look into using 12v RV appliances powered by your solar. They make 12v refrigerators that are almost full residential size.

Solar power will only go more mainstream the easier it is to install. People like convenience and simplicity. We all want clean energy as it protects against grid power failure and potential grid power collapse. Companies like Bluetti, Jackery and Projectsolar are closing the gap in affordability and easy to install kits. Plug-and-play is the future of clean energy

If you are looking for cheap residential solar panels the San Tan Solar is what I have used for years. Last purchase was 8 340 watt panels for $100 each plus $270 shipping from Arizona to Idaho.

Jason you're seriously one of the best video producers on KZfaq. This one is certainly proof of that. Well done brother.

OMG. Just loved the beginning of this video. Loved the music and the ducks were so cute running out and booking it to the pond. 😂

Wow, that is awesome, Jason. I am so happy for you and Danielle.

Hey Jason it's great that you guys was able to get all you needed to have the whole tiny house & I am like you when it comes to that solar crap glad to see all the animals are fine GB stay safe y'all

Wow ,congratulations Jason and Danielle Crocker I remember even out to the tiny house you never had AC you would have to jump kn the truck..and if you did at all it was short lived..so happy for you two huge game changer..love it

With the panels, you need to check what the max input the Bluetti can take in volts & amps. Typical panels these days are about 450watts each, and they'll cost WAY less than the Bluetti ones too, probably 1/6th of the cost!

Will Prowse KZfaq channel is imo the easiest, least expensive, and extensive solar channel to watch and learn. He literally covers any and all types and topics of solar. You're off to a great start! BTW, how does Bluetti pronounce their name..lol 😂😅Love ya'll ❤

This was a good video. I remember when I just figured out how to wire solar and batteries. And I made a little system. I must have watched the volt meter or watt meter for weeks. Like the absolute coolest thing ever. And the fact it was actually free power was amazing. I hope other people get to experience that. It's a good feeling. Good video again, you're a great producer.

I love how the animals run to you for feeding and treats. Glad to see your solar going up. It will give you so much more convince for now and in future. Hugs from San Antonio, TX.

I just love your video work!! Love seeing all those animals running for breakfast!! Solar power will be awesome. It willl be so quiet out there!!! Thanks for sharing!! 😊❤

Glad to see you finally coming around to the solar way of thinking. You really never had anything good to say about solar and I was blown away when you lived on the hillside and never set up any kind of solar. It's getting cheaper and technology is getting better. Yes, the Bluetti, Jackery, Anker and other systems are very expensive because they are all in one units, just add your panels. You can get enough panels, a pure sine inverter, say a 3500 or 5000 watt and have enough power for the studio, and but the same system on your tiny house. Batteries will be the most expensive part. I know of a hack where you can get batteries that'll last 10 years or so for cheaper, it just takes about 2 months to get them since they're coming from China. I'd imagine for $3000 you can have all the power, solar and battery bank you'd need to run the studio with everything you'll need. That's including a solar charge controller and starting from scratch buying all your components. Now compare that to buying 1 of the Bluetti systems now that you now how much those cost. Bluetti, Jackery, Anker etc are all good for having around in an emergency or travel to the lake or the beach you have it all in one unit, but it's much cheaper to build your own system from scratch. I wouldn't be spending $10,000 to get ugly power poles and lines ran to my property just to have an electric bill every month and then when a storm comes through, you need a back up power plan anyway because being rural, when you lose power, the co-ops are more interested in getting the bigger populated cities up and running first and you rural people wait the longest. With a solar system, you'll never lose power and those city folk are now at a disadvantage while you're still chillin' in the power after the storm. BTW, the AC will be the most power usage will the most power consumption. So build your system to be big enough to run your mini split or a 10,000 BTU window unit to keep the studio cool and you should be golden.

It's not easy to install a solar system all by yourself. Luckily, my husband is an electrician like Josh from Wild Wonderful Off Grid. You did a great job Jason! I've been following you since your tent days. You are truly a doer! A solar array was the first thing we set up here on our rural property in an unfinished cottage. We had the right thought that it was going to be very expensive because of the world economy and inflation. More and more people are buying it to become more independent. The situation in the EU and the energy crisis, which is talked about since the boycott, can get worse.

Jason I too like a little coffee with my creamer..ive been drinking ryze it's a organic coffee with 6 different mushrooms delicious. Just wanted to say you have a beautiful setup and its well deserved I've watched you from before the tent days always a hard working young man

Hey jason . Also Danielle Lol I love to see the animal videos I grow up as a kid in puerto rico with lot of animal. I am happy everything is coming together at SDR . Solar is a big win . Keep strong bro .

Yep the grass is getting greener. Happy for you guys.

Hi buddy how you doing how's Danielle did Daniel make it back yet we still miss her but the hope she's doing okay hope you're doing okay take it easy buddy keep up the good work I'm proud of you and her to God bless you guys

Your farm is the best... Hope your weather is ok... Crazy storms and power out in many areas... Be safe

Morning Jason, I see the you have Geese and geese protect the chickens from air attack and land.😊 I love the new opening scenes fantastic

ONCE AGAIN YOU PROVED YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION!!! 😂. The Door Knob Hole is perfect For Running the Power Cords Into the House! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊 💜

Love that you got the Solar Thank you Blueltti I will look at them ....keep letting us know how you like them!

Congratulations Jason & Danielle!! 🙏🏼💜

Well let me put it to you this way. Get you a couple glass of plastic solar or greenhouse plastic from home depot. Put you a Box around it that is weathertight leave him facing the sun. And you got the best deal that you could ever have

Off grid with Jay and Jen got solar panels that are on a stand that follows the sun.

I need to talk to my wife about this. We're trying to figure out "dummy proof solar" for our shed to home. This looks even better than the Jackery's.

I would put the solar panels on a stand by itself. I am happy you don't have to have the generator running 😊.

Just saw the weather forecast for your area next week!! By Friday the highs will be near 110, brah!! Its gonna be rough on 2 and 4 legged critters!!

Still watching years later, love this progress!!!

You should look at signature solar and get older field panels for less the $100 in packs!

Jason Crocker you do the best product reviews!!! The ducks looked like they got caught doing something bad😂😂😂😂😂

Shootdang I’m pumped love you both and all the wonderful animals too

All of your appliances say the wattage on the back. If you're wondering about a microwave or toaster oven, just read the sticker on it. As for window AC units, let's suppose yours uses 1000W. It could be 1200W, whatever. Just make sure that your solar panels are higher wattage in total, so that you can cool the house and charge your batteries at the same time. Finally, keep your solar panel wires as short as possible. DC wiring has significant transmission loss over distance, so shorter thicker cables are much better than longer thinner ones.

That's so awesome. Huge love ❤️ from Canada.

Way to go! So happy for you both!

Jason, I am so happy for you and Danielle that things are working out for you as planned. It’s nice to see that you have electricity, water and other resources/supplies to help you live comfortably. Until next time.

Great video !! Love the animals 🥰glad y’all got that solar going on now !! Enjoy it 👍❤️

So glad to see y’all get sponsors. Y’all post so many videos and should be able to get sponsorships!!! Good luck

Honestly I would reach out to Josh from Wild Wonderful Off Grid, Guildbrooke Farm, or Al from Lumnah Acres for all your solar questions. They all have done a DIY array to power their off grid homes fully and they have done it for years and probably have a good idea of what worked for them and what they would change or do differently

That’s a game changer. Good luck. ✌️🇺🇸❤️

In Elk City, we had these huge fans that the mechanics used at the JD dealership.. I think the animals would love added air in the barn .. idk 🤷‍♀️ but you don’t have trees to shade your barn.. call your parents because in the end that is all we have kiddos.. hugs .. ❤

Excellent video Jason 👏💯 I love all your animals 😍 God bless you 🙏

Wow... that's awesome. I've saw this bluetti and started to search info, so thanks for your video I could see that I can use an AC for all night if I have the right investment and don't pay more for public energy. Congrats for the video.

Awesome video love the animals 🦆🐖🦃🐐🐓🐕🐂love you guys

Each line of the solar input can handle up to 150 volts. So you should hook up the 3 panels in series to one of the solar inputs and get another 3 panels in series to the other solar input. Then you should have about 2000 watts or more of solar coming in.

Renogy has good solar panels, Home depot sells them. Really need and electrician if your going for permanent solar.

Great for you guys!!!!😊

🌞Here the Farm Baby's come a running ❤ They Love Danielle and Jason ❤️😘🤩❤️🙏🙌🇺🇸👍✌️👌🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🌅🌄🌞

Wow, the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series sounds like an amazing product! With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile sockets, it would be perfect for outdoor camping and ensuring uninterrupted power supply for your devices. Plus, its waterproof technology makes it reliable in any weather. Definitely a great addition to any outdoor enthusiast's gear collection!

That’s pretty cool that you and Danielle now have solar to keep your air conditioner running your fridge raider running your toaster, your microwave, your coffee, your lights

Use a couple sheets of plywood and make a solar platform to hold solar panels flat

Jason I believe the longer the wire the lesast power you get, it looses power the longer the cord.

Green Acre Homestead has quite a few really good solar videos and Sam does a really good job at breaking everything down and showing how it goes together.

Ich habe bis jetzt gewartet, war mir nicht sicher, welches System ich kaufen werde. Bitte testet es weiter und gebt ab und zu einen Zwischenbericht zu bluetti ab, denn es scheint mir das Beste zu sein. Danke Euch

When will you start working on the house that you originally started ..... what’s happening with that or are you instead planning on living in the shed to house that you are currently living in that Jared had almost finished all the work on? The podcast table looks great.

FYI: It's called "Blue-Etty" not Blue-T. I agree, I love me some coffee with my creamer. I wouldn't drink coffee without creamer. The shed to house is looking real nice. The bedroom looks nice and so does the bathroom. I hope the solar works for you.

nice to see you making use of Jared's former shed to house

Please do a detailed video of when you install your RV 30AMP power box for your generator. I just got the Anker 767 powerhouse and it’s a beast but I can’t seem to figure out how to wire this 30AMP box to my breaker correctly.

Looks like a good system. What ya save on gas for regular gens will make it pay for itself in no time. I watch a sawmill channel, I think it's those that he uses and he has put them through and they perform great! So you wont regret it at all. He stumps for them too. Ill make sure it is same brand when I watch his next one that has them in it but I think it is.

You can also ask them if they got hard Solar panels

Also, look at San Tan Solar out of the Phoenix area. They sell used panels at very low prices. This allows you to create very large solar arrays at a low cost. This gives you redundancy and Solar array backup. You can place them on frames on the ground. Also look at Missouri Wind and Solar for wind production of electricity. This gives you possible electrical production at night or on cloudy days. The Will Prouse suggestion was an excellent idea, too.

Sooooo awesome...congrats you two

I use RQST panels and they work great. They use the MC4 connectors for a quick but secure connection. I’m not sure for your location but where I live we point the panels to the South and tilt them at about 33 degrees for the best sun. I power my whole finished basement and shop lights with just 3 of them and way less battery capacity than you have.

Hey, here’s a video about solar panels. But let me rabbit hole for a second and talk about how much I love creamer in my coffee.

You are doing well my little whipper snappers. Your young and have a lot of energy. It is fun for this older lady to see how you two are coming along with your dream.

Congratulations Jason&Danielle on going solar-power until the electric company decides to run lines.

Congrat on solar...game changer

Those seem like they would be a game changer

Sweet ! Good stuff on SDR 👊

MBF - Modern Homesteading also is using that Bluetti system, and Jeremy is kind of a techy guy, so could be of some help if you have questions.

Don't put them on your roof , put them on a rack on your ground , easier to maintain amigo ! 👍

You should get that Mini Split hooked up!

Roof solar shingles are $20,000 1,200 square ft home

Good video. Very interesting and helpful

6/24/23: 🙋🤣The animals are so GREAT love seeing you coming for morning feeding....The Cow 🐮 cracks me up and blonde Lab loves all the Animals...makes you feel GOOD, when they come running for you🤗. Thanks for showing us Portable Solar Power, I love Solar.. Patty Sue, Maryland

if you got a plug for 50/30 amp plug you would have more amps for your house panel Will Prose good resource on the tube

We have that same system we love it we spent the winter in Arizona.

Nice setup! 👍😎❤️

So glad you have your solar up and running!❤🌞

If you plan on using the toaster oven it would be a good idea to move it away from the wall as it will in time scorch your wall.

I now having solar is awesome congrats.

It looks cool, just to many cords , I know once it is hooked up right the cords won’t be there. I hope it works out for y’all

Dp you have a video showing how to wire generator to panel box

Look at Martin Johnson and Country View acres. They both set up great solar systems

The video quality looks amazing did you get a new camera?! Awesome editing as well great job!!

I’m running 4 Renogy 100 watt panels on my motorhome, they are about $100 each they are permanently mounted

Im glad to see you have solar in your house. A little roof or yard solar panelsit can be better than power company bills every month.

Pay attention to the solar charge input voltage. This system takes a low input solar. The system will shut down if too large of input charge is applied. I'm still searching for a suitable solar panel as the ones from bluetti are very expensive

❤❤❤❤❤ nice solar system

Hi Jason, how many amp hours are each battery please?

You should put a cut-off switch on the Microwave. If you are not using it all the time or using the toaster over all the time and put both of them on a cut-off switch you could save some of that power for other things like charging your power tool batteries! This is just as suggestion for you guys! Plus it would save you money on running the generator all the time too!

That's a fantastic video on solar generators! I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile powerhouse with a massive capacity and fast recharging time. Plus, it's waterproof and comes with comprehensive protections. Perfect for outdoor camping or as a home backup power solution. Don't miss out on this amazing product!

Excellent, soon we'll be able to power whole houses

That's the brand I plan on buying. In Northern Michigan. Adding a propane gen to compensate on cloudy days to aid recharge and harsh winters.. not goingvto pay utility companys out rages rising rates the rest of my life

I’m going to build a 16 x 20 cabin I am going to have a split ac and heat unit small fridge and a small freezer and led can lights then a couple small appliances like coffee maker and a Pizza oven and maybe a air fryer can you help me in what I need to get. I’m clueless on this and u are the man I love your vids very knowledgeable for this. And if you have a harbor freight they sell hard panels and they are cheap to

Love yalls channel! If yall ever need a painter (since i know yall hate painting lol) im located in norman (Mvp Painting) and dont mind traveling

The optimal temperature for solar panels is around 77°F. Solar panels perform best under moderate temperatures, as higher or lower temperatures can reduce efficiency. For every degree above 25°C, a solar panel's output can decrease by around 0.3% to 0.5%, affecting overall energy production.
