RE: Cost effective solar set up
This was taken when I first started to get interested in solar, my thoughts at the time were recharge batteries for shtf and play a few movies on a small screen dvd and play music and lighting, things have now changed as I went form the above to cooking and water filter needs, power tools and cctv it grew.

Was just a car batt at that time.

Looks good. It looks more like an IED though. Should keep Plod busy for a while if he comes visiting.

lol SD 
That was the birth so to say the system has grown some and the cabinet is somewhat better than just a bit of wood.
After New Year I will do a video and take pics and offer help to whoever needs it.
It’s quite a lot to cover so will take some time, also I have a mobile solar build I might post that up.

RE: Cost effective solar set up
NR,
You don't understand copyright do you. I can't do that. The T&Cs mean I will leave them up for people and it will be available but I can't process them any other way. You put Copyright on yours to ensure the same.
Personally, I download everything. I have all of W&Cs videos for personal use but i can't post them without permission.

RE: Cost effective solar set up
As a member of this forum is ready to buy I thought it best to add this information as a starting block for all.
When buying solar regulator you need to know this math, and remember you will want to upgrade panels as time goes by so allow for higher amp controller for this reason.
It seems that watts panel to regulator is like this, 5 amp = 60 watt 10 amp = 120 watt, I have just bought a new MTTP regulator and it is 30amp so can run up to 360 watts panels.
So if you buy a 80watt panel your need 10amp regulator and that will allow you to add another 40watt panel later on, as 10 amp = 120watt.
My advice is to get 30 amp minimum and leave room for bigger panel upgrades later.
My advice for inverter always buy branded and one that can run high watts constant over 12 hour period, remember all tools and gadgets have a watt number on them it is by this you can determine if you can use on your solar setup, when you start solar you will find there are many low watt tools and whatever items out there.
If you try use a 500watt drill on a 300watt inverter you will blow inverter.
