DIY Solar Panel System - 300 Watts Off Grid Ground Mount - Christian Dude
How to build a DIY solar panel system off grid, with 300 watts of power using an adjustable ground mount system. UPDATES and PARTS LIST below. Video includes an explanation of every component plus useful installation tips, pros and cons of devices, how much it costs, how solar power can be used in emergencies during grid outages down and for everyday use including growing vegetables. Detailed design including the solar panels and accessories, adjustable ground mount, lightning protection and grounding, solar charge controller, DC/AC inverter, ANL fuses, Blue Seas switch and UB121000 AGM 100 AH batteries – everything you need to build your own DIY solar panel system and save money, while having fun doing it!
2021 UPDATE: Upgrading batteries to superior 300 AH Lithium Iron Phosphate + BMS battery controller (needed for overcharging protection).
2020 UPDATE: Changed power inverter connections from diagonal across batteries to connections on the same battery. Replaced original power inverter with a superior Krieger model. Did not change solar controller and voltmeter connections diagonally across the batteries.
