Great video Phil. Well done mate.
Phil, would one of those panels be compatible with my jackery 2000 plus?
Brilliant Phil. I will be picking your brain mate for my shed power station setup.
Great clip Phill. I don't think you need a Victron 100/50 for an 440 watt solar panel. It can easy do it with an smaller one. I hope you prove me wrong
I have 6 x 370w sunpower P3 panels, they are great 150ah
Phil , good video . Great set up in the truck . Keep ‘em coming ! 👍👍🍻🍻
I grabbed an old 250w household solar panel from the council dump shop for $20. Added a Kings solar converter for $50. Other controllers I looked into couldn't convert the 38v into 12v. When my camper is closed up the panel is on top and charging everything inside. Unpacked the panel is attached on a hinge so that when the boatrack is swivelled off to the side the solar panel points to the sky. Powering a 110L dual zone fridge freezer, 200AH batteries, and multiple 12v, usb outlets. Didn't want to fit a dc-dc converter to the car for the same reasons as when you stop at camp for multiple days.
Who wants an air fryer anyway. The web baby Q is all I need.
Overkill if your just running a fridge, battery would be fully charged by midday! What then?
I just picked a brand new 440w panel for $80, and grabbed a Renogy DCC50S dual input DC to DC charger with MPPT for $377. 200kwh LiFPO4 slimline battery next, then an install in my MUX – sorted!
Thanks Phil for the great advice 👍
Awesome Ep and great advise and setup Phil. I do the ex zackly the same. we have a Jinko 545 watt Bifacial ex solar farm or house panel on top of our 80 series We see 40 amps out of it, from our 40 amp Kickass MPPT controller We have to Upgrade to a 100/ 50 Victron Controller one day. then it mite do better.
That’s absolute gold advice Phil. Thank you so much mate. 👍🍺
Phil, in the near future mate, I am doing a power station in my shed. I will be picking your brain mate.
Is your Donna still alive? Because I would love to get some of her recipes
