What if I already have solar panels and I want to add batteries. How do I determine how many batteries to get?

Yes, this is the coolest solar panel at the moment! But the price! Wow! I assume that the price will fall over time and you will be able to afford to buy.

I have two 200w BougeRV panels in the mail right now. I tried a "classic" 120W panel after getting a Jackery 500... and that panel worked ok as long as it was fully in sunlight... but as soon as there was the equivalent of a pea shading it, the efficiency dropped like a rock. After looking around these CIGS panels caught my eyes, and what really got me was when it showed how well it could handle partial cover... the fact that I watched the really crazy videos of the panels being shot, run over, stepped all over and submerged in water after the fact and STILL worked, only made me more confident that the extra money for them are well spent. Personally I choose the version with holes... but ironically it seems as if you need to make the holes yourself you could actually do that without effecting the panel too much :p Not that I would do it, but still.

Can you connect canadian solar to a jackery

This or Ecoflow river 2 pro?

You have alot of good information. I cant watch a video where someone is talking and playing music. Sorry

Really like my Mega 5, but I am surprised how quickly it runs out with only a 11×15 window A/C connected 600-700 watts is dead in 3 hrs, it cost abt $3000

Good research! Can you do a similar comparative video for solar generators please?

I need example of the connection today building

Thank you from morocco

Why are people saying lithium batteries last longer than lead acid when Ive seen deep cycle ones in golf carts last like 10 years or so while lithiums lose like half their power in 1?

Lead acid batteries typically require a constant voltage charging profile, where the voltage is held constant and the current decreases as the battery charges. On the other hand, lithium batteries require a constant current-constant voltage (CC-CV) charging profile, where the current is held constant until the battery reaches a certain voltage level, after which the voltage is held constant. Using a lithium charger to charge a lead acid battery can result in overcharging, which can lead to excessive gassing, heat generation, and potential damage to the battery. It can also be dangerous as overcharging a lead acid battery can cause it to release hydrogen gas, which is explosive.

You're forgetting ac2a is designed and geared towards a completely different group of people lol. You won't see any large bluettis being humped into the backcountry & the reason why it doesn't have a wireless phone charger is because one they're not efficient to charge a phone and you shouldn't be playing with your phone in the backcountry to begin with. By the way you can charge the ac2a with solar panels, we charged ours with a 100w renogy eflex folding panel. As for the light carry a flashlight if you are afraid of the dark

2023 with 4 bus bars lol

Are you staying at one house for 20 years?

Well said Ben!

All the talk and what does he have ? Canadian :-) Value .

I’m an actual PWR Cell system has been junk, never runs more than six months without failure. Has failed multiple times during power cuts. It has safety issues with the snap RS fiasco and now my system is down as often as up and Generac only gives me a run around. MY SYSTEM IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. This is why Generac has four class action lawsuits pending. My advice is go with someone else

Little bit confusing to simplify things. How about this saying you need 25, 200 W solar panels to power your car for the month you know make it simple

Good video

What does the size of battery you need have to do with solar power? The battery size should be obvious from your power needs in the home.

❤❤❤ great insights!

Prior to getting solar in California; heat waves and drought. After getting solar ; cloudy and raining for 4 months.

Ben is the best.

Is there a small DC to DC solution that actually works... ? I only got few panels, but I need the "logic" to tell the car how much it's able to charge, as this can change by the minute.

There is a company called PES solar. They offer the REC panels… Which company would you recommend to work with?

Thank you so much for this . I am inclined to retire and have a place away from the city . A battled the city all the years to make a living . I will " visit " the city when I feel so. The city of angels , the city she loves me . And away means away . Off the grids wich causes Panic . But not any more after watching this . I can . I always dislike the use of the dishwasher , for example . And I have no problem hanging clothes out to dry like a napolitan . I think of my years as a truck driver out in no mans land depending on the good care I took of my truck. Same way of life . Not afraid. Thank you again for your video .

Looks like a Hamilton Beach 1L Tea Kettle, Model 40998...has a power draw of 1500 watts. Checks out...

I would like to see someone compare this to the Anker Solix C800. They are same price when on sale and have similar specs. I don't care for the flashlights in the C800 Plus but it could still be compared too because most people think that model is cool.

So ridiculous. Typical "Solar" advice. Utterly backwards, upside down, inside out. How many times did he say "efficiency?" 2008 is calling, they want their problem back! And what on earth is a "value pricing" or "value brand"??? More clueless "solar mumbo jumbo."

Solar calculator stops at 'Retrieving results' and takes forever to get even that far...😢

Big hands ✋️

Is this the M-series 440

Today Tesla offered me the opportunity to join its Virtual Power Plant to use my three Powerwalls in the next few months to earn (up to) ~$1,100. Each year SDGE pays me ~ 3 cents per kilowatt hour of my substantial excess production. I suspect Tesla will pay a bit more. I bet other viewers would appreciate your opinion on which is the best option. Care to opine, or make a video to explain these options?

Good info. Real world examples help a lot.

is this a review or an ad?

Forget about the non-backup power gridtie (feeding power back to the grid) solar systems that everyone is selling. With solar module and energy storage at historically low prices, it makes far more sense to DIY install your own off grid solar system. It's easy and inexpensive to do and during a power outage, your self-installed, off grid solar system will provide your home with power to run your appliances or charge your EV and you can still qualify for the Federal tax credit.

Good info.

Hello we have attempted to fix/ upgrade our solar system to accommodate our family to no avail. We are Army Veterans that decided to move totally off grid with our 3 kids. Despite our efforts we have problems when we get very little sunshine. It seems the batteries aren't charged enough to take us through the night. On an average day the sun would have charged our system and the inverter will go into the night displaying 50 volts. However, during a heavy rain we had 2 days ago that started at 9am and lasted all day, we went into the night at 44 volts! By midnight the alarm was sounding on the inverter and the power went off shortly thereafter. We also have this issue when we attempt to turn on the air conditioning...using it too close to sun down can cause the same issue. I was thinking we need a larger battery bank but someone told me I need more panels. Honestly I'm confused. Please help.

My 75 quart icecoo runs off f 40 watts with freezer. Im like you. Definitely not worth the purchase,ESPECIALLY if while running the icemaker shuts down the fridge. I have an ice maker i run in my rv that takes 150 watts, plugged into acmax with 2x 200 watt panels and i can run it all day.

Still on the hunt for the best smallest one I can get at a good price with solid capacity for work. Glad I found your channel! Got my eyes on the AC60p right now….any review on it?

You made me feel better about my system

Is there any web-tool that allows one to check the serial number to confirm that its a genuine CS product? In my region generic panels have replica CS specification stickers stuck on.

Wonder if the cooler and ice maker work at the same time if plugged in?

I take it I missed the $1400 package? Shows $1800 now. Anyone know shipping lead times? Also, does the fridge cooler shut off while ice maker is on, or can both run? I think ecoflow shuts the fridge off when making ice

Alles in allem sind die SAJ-Produkte großartig

I like No 3 for this race. It loves a soft track and its mother was a mudder.

Thank you for the review! Consider buying Canadian Solar panels on my rooftop

I wanted to ask; is the vapor, or air around a battery bank really that bad? People think it is, but if its well ventilated I wonder if that's true still? And is the idea of the air around a battery bank not being good actual fact or just a myth?
