Refreshing my knowledge of grounding and bonding and earth grounds and what not as it applies to off-grid solar. This video series explains it all rather simply. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky5luEx6R2M

Learned something new though. Many of the cheaper stand-alone inverters and the power stations DO NOT work like regular grid power. Instead of 120VAC on L1 and 0VAC on Neutral. They are +60VAC and -60VAC.

So if you were to backfeed a 'solar generator' to one of your house outlets during a grid outage (illegal and dangerous, but people do it all the time). Your house wiring is going to have a neutral/ground bond, so you'll get a 60VAC short and blow up your inverter or solar generator.

Amazon was having a dale this weekend and I decided to buy an Ecoflow River 3 Solar Generator.

It's the smallest in the Ecoflow line at 245wh, but with the sale it cost me about $150 before taxes, so half the cost of the Jackery that Walmart stocks locally.

I plan to buy a solar panel for it in the next few weeks, but for now I am seeing how it handles being on my cars 12v connection while powering a small laptop.

So far so good.

Posted a new video, was working on an alternate way to recharge the house batteries during an extended power outage.

Looking for projects to do in order to learn some stuff for when I need to do things on a bigger scale.

Like my electricity system. Apparently there are folk who have DIY'd the solar generators you can get for about $300 to $5500 online.

The process might not be cheap, but the learning will be invaluable. Plus diy means being able to replace any one part that goes bad as opposed to the entire thing.

My most currently active ongoing project is this 100Ah battery box / solar generator.

Neuer Schuppen, neues Glück:
Ich würde gerne mit einem kleinen #Solarpanel die Akkus der #ebike s und anderes Zeug laden.
Bisherige Idee: #Solargenerator Gibt es schlauere Ideen?
