Installing an off grid solar system can be difficult but once you break it down into steps the process can be a lot less intimidating. In this video, I install a 400ah system utilizing victors components and lithium batteries.

Man. I sure like how you installed your solar system. I’m not brave enough to even try it. I’ll be looking for someone to do mine in the ambulance.

It is so satisfying when you're done with a solar install and flick the first switch and the lights come on.

This is literally the only channel I watch, even though I am no where near doing a build. (I don't have a TV, so this is a great watch) Having a van conversion company back in the 80s, this stuff is always interesting. Love the country festival music too. 😎

Informative and fun to watch video, I enjoyed the technical aspects, and how you simply mapped out and guided us through how the system works. Always a fun Sunday with Mike! I am glad I got to see the latest progress on Ivan.

@@navigationnowhere It was fun for me definitely. I think it is also smart of you to do a video like this, it shows off your experience and expertise for people who still are not a technical or confident person, that they may seek you out through Jessup Energy Solutions to do it for them. I might suggest is to Sponsor your own videos once in a while so you can get more people becoming aware of your business. Just me putting my Digital Marketer hat on. 😄

Hey Mike, do you use connectors on the end of the stranded wire going in to the various Victron equipment and if so, which ones (other than the lugs?)??

Are you planning on adding an exhaust fan or cooling fans for the solar electrical system seeing that it will be in an enclosed space under the bed?

Does all of those solar components to the battery create heat and if so, how do you dissipate the heat??

@navigationnowhere 10 ай бұрын

There is an air vent in the rear of the compartment.

@rajanikumari3672 10 ай бұрын

Is the ambient airflow in the battery/solar/electrical compartment enough with the inverter running a heavy load, or should there be extra ventilation/supplemental fans?

@rajanikumari3672 10 ай бұрын

I saw in another comment there is a vent. I mean above that existing vent if more air is needed for really heavy loads?

Hey Mike, interested in Ivan having trouble getting in touch with you, can you give me advice how to do that.

@teddyapproved 10 ай бұрын

I’m curious, how do you keep the system from draining the bus batteries as you use power from the solar batteries? I had a small system set up kinda like this just not as advanced but it kept pulling from the bus batteries and made them go dead and then I couldn’t start the bus.

Good Christmas eve morning to all the DIY solar people. I'm trying to upgrade my solar electic system in my camper trailer I have just about all new parts like six new flexable (300watt) panels and two (100watt) older panels and a new Mppt 100-120 charge controller with bluetooth also my four batteries are hooked up in parallel and my solar panels are being hooked up in series to my charge controller so far I have with the six fexable panels I have just about 110 volts dc nothing is hooked up yet I'm trying to work on this upgade project as the weather allows. Is there any one in or around the Scranton pa area that does camper solar systems becouse solar house contactors don't want any think to do with my camper I could really use the help and I will be greatfull and pay for it.

I'm a carpenter/ woodbutcher. Like your video but AC/DC is a rock band and a mppttthingamajig doesn't ring a bell. Think I need to take a electrical class to know what your talking about.😂😂😂

@chrlsraines 10 ай бұрын

When you say “b & b 712”, but DON’T tell us what that IS and what it DOES… kinda defeats the instructional value of the video. It didn’t have to be a 10 min explanation but a simple this is what it IS and this is what it DOES for all of us still trying to learn what components we may need for our setup.
