Budget Friendly 24V Solar System: 2.4kW Inverter, 2kW Solar Array, MPPT and 60A Charger $1500 

Corrections: -Leg should be "line". Or live, or hot. Line is probably best term here in America. I have a huge book I've been reading on inverter circuit design and it always calls the hot leads, "leg". -Total cost is $1100 plus $400 for shipping. So $1500 total, oops I totally forgot about the shipping cost of the byd pack. It's $300! But it's flat rate. That increases the price substantially unless you buy multiple packs or do a local pick up. And inverter is $100 to ship. Still dirt cheap. -circuit breaker is rated for 120 amps. Run inverter to the max! I think that's all I missed. Thanks to everyone pointing this stuff out. I try to mention everything as fast as possible, but can be difficult. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Does off-grid solar confuse you?

Dude!! I freeking love your videos. I am learning so much from you I feel guilty.... Keep up the good work, it is very apparent that you love what you do.

Omg this totally saved me tons of money running power inside my ManCave along with my storm shelter/ bunker! Great video pal!

I’m really enjoying your videos. Have been looking at the commercial solar generators on the market and thanks to your content it looks like I’m better off building my own system.

Thank Will, you are the BEST, among the REST. Your HONESTY was what drawn me, to your channel, and now, I'm HOOKED.

Thanks for this! Might be perfect for our off grid cabin in the mountains of Colorado...

Prices are dropping before our eyes. This is amazing! At least we have something going in the right direction

Thank you I've been waiting for this !

Been watching your videos for a bit, and you are a freaking solar guru man. Just bought one of these for my rv trailer. Setting up a 500w Santan array with 2 250w used solar panels I saw on your site. The fan noise issue shouldn't be a problem, I am mounting it all in storage space under my bed, so it should be pretty quiet in the living area. Eventually I want to sell my 24ft for a 30ft since I am going to be living in it full time for a bit, so I also thought it would be a great resale value when I sell the camper, since most people want a simple, uncomplicated system and PnP sells.

I worked for a power company in Florida back in the day and someone did a diy grid tie system with a generator. One of the storm duty crew employees was killed by the back current in a downed power line. Thanks for pointing out that you need to do grid ties right Will!

Wow another amazing super great video info and analysis from absolutely the best channel on utube. you hit this one out of the park again. when your sharing such great info no need to worry about the exact cost of the system. people can do some work on the pricing themselves. thank you and keep up the great work and videos you do there fantastic

I bet you had fun building this, this is awesome, thank you for your knowledge.

Did not know solar power was this easy!! I am going to convert my storage shed to this so I can ditch the extension cords from the house!!! Awesome video!! Just subscribed to the channel!!

Ordered this all in one jammy yesterday. Thanks Will! My bus is gonna' rock!

You just gave us a video for the very system I'm building! Bought the green MPP Solar 24v unit after your first all-in-one review (though not backfeeding) and am about to buy the battery module which I was interested in because the "raw" used BYD cells had difficult technical challenges and I'm a newbie. You're the best, Will. THANK YOU for making us wiser and greener!!!

Will, your videos are just awesome! Thank you!

This is a great system, thank you, Will!! This is the way I would go if I was starting a new system.

Just wanted to let everyone know if you use this charge controller you can't set the low voltage cut off like he shows in this video. You have to set the battery type to "user defined" before you can change the cutout voltage. Thanks for the walk through will. It really helped me set up my system.

Will, if this got any simpler the system would install itself. Great vid!

Thank you. What a great presentation, as always !!

You make lives work for basically free. This is invaluable information.

This is cool. Thanks Will have a good day.

This is exactly what I will do for ,my house build only in 48 volts. Thanks Will...👮‍♂️

Thanks for sharing man, I'm looking at powering my car so I can travel, I'll have to research a bit on it so I can run a fridge and maybe a bit of warmth

Thank Will! for the time you put into it , I just order the 12v one , I'm planning on making a portable one. Since Here in Puerto Rico we are in huracane season, and light goes on and off, and all ready 2 storm, and is just the beginning the season until November 😎. hey how about make something portable!

I am learning so much from you! I am very thankful we don't have the money to pay someone to install a system for us that doesn't change the need for solar backup as well as prepare for the inevitable need of being put on oxygen before I pass away being I have a terminal lung disease that cannot be cured. I am going to install a small system independent of the grid to run a couple of TV's, refrigerator and oxygen machine plus a few lights. The big stuff runs on LP gas so very little need for anything gas operated with the exception of lighting burners and running fans on the furnace and one 6600BTU window unit air conditioner.

i follow you with everything and watch all your movies, your my go to man for solar,enough said,,

I just got my solar working after a LOT of head scratching/buying parts/putting them together and I still don't have grid charging so to see how easy you just put this together kind of makes my eyes roll. The only thing my system has over this one is being able to double the amount of solar when I want but I guess this set up just needs you to go buy another inverter and plug it in....

Cool, ordered one today. Explained well thanks.

That’s awesome, the fire board you mentioned sounds like Magnesium Mgo FC sheet.

Non UL listed equipment in an off-grid / no grid tie situation may work in some counties but not in others. You should be able check on-line for the requirements or call the permitting office. Another consideration is if you carry home owners insurance how this would effect your policy. A fire caused by non-UL solar systems, particularly DIY power walls, could provide the insurer an excuse to not honor the policy.

I own that inverter for 5 months. running on 2x250 poly panels and two used valence battery. got a good response from seller on ebay

This is exactly what i need for the shop that I plan to build.

What about for an RV re: the MPPT controller?

Thanks Will, Great video! You are singular. You are changing the world for the better. Thank you!

Will thanks free of books and videos. They are great!

Wow very affordable 👍, great vid thank you very much, im thinking of buying a small log cabin home in NH, this will be perfect 👌

At this price it's hard to believe it has a 60 amp AC charger. Could you do one of your test to verify the ac charger output of 60 amps in a 24v. battery?

So would you recommend this battery in a rv, or a Tesla

Thanks that sounds awesome I’m looking to do something like that for my camper I’m redoing thanks I’ll be looking out for more information thanks

Another excellent video, this is exactly what I will do for ,my house build except bigger and in 48 volts....Umm, ok so not exactly LOL, Thanks Will

Can you do a video on setting up multiple inverters for larger systems?

very cool! this will likely be what I do. you are very smart with all this stuff!

Great video for us new people... vary simple and well exsplained. Thank You.

Can you do a video on how to connect duel system so you can have 2 hot legs in your AC panel?

Awesome Will. Perfect and I will be using for my off grid cabin. Thanks for all of your videos. What do you recommend for panels? I was going to use Renogy but how many watts do you recommend?

You never disappoint!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Love your videos..

Hi Will, thanks for this video. This seems like a great setup for my RV, however I'm not sure how I should patch the AC output into the RV panel so as to make all the AC outlets hot, ETC....

Hey Will, can I connect a 48v pv array to this unit. The specs say 30v-80vdc

Another great job Will. That system is right in my budget and will be ordering it soon. Thanks

Great information man. Really appreciate it. Website is nice too. Very informative!

Just ordered the combo. $675 inverter $880 battery -------- $1555 total with tax and shipping. Just a tad over that $1100 mark.

hey Will, would you recommend a system such as this for a mobile tinyhome / RV? (one that drives around, not stationary). thanks!

Nice setup , would love to learn na try to power up my shed .thanx

Thank you for the videos there very helpful for beginners like me.

Looks like I am buying a combo charger/inverter! There another 24v 3.5kw LiFePo4 battery on that site for $499, are you going to be checking that one out too?

Can you power a regular house with that (lights, refrigerator, plugs, everything)?

Good luck! I bought also this junk. After one Jear and some troubles with the van and seller, I only use Viktron easy solar.

Good to know! Thank you

Question: what's the minimum amount of solar voltage to keep a 24v inverter going?

They do fail after 3 years or so ..

I’ve been following you for a while amazing videos so in depth but not boring which is fantastic ❕❕❕ any deals on MPP all in ones units out there ⁉️

These are like watching the solar version of real genius, awesome.

I like this young fellow , he's going places . 👍

Great video, as always!

I installed the lv5048 in my cabin. Works great. Installing a parallel system in my workshop

Bro you have a video on everything on market, I just found this inverter on Marketplace for $500 & start searching here comes your detailed video on it, the only downside is it's 120 volts which cannot serve my purpose since I am trying to connect it to my detached garage electrical panel to run everything minus the AC. Thanks like always.

Great video! I'm looking to set up a trailer system or a portable system with 4 440w mono for emergencies and/or reduce energy costs.

i like the mpp all in one .. i use also 24v, but 3kw mpp with 8 winston 100ah (123bms) ( only 10 mV difference in the cells)

Thanks Will!

they made that 2424 for a while now, the one i have is called "pip 2424ms" its about 5 years old now and functionally identical, a superb unit and very cheap on the used (payd 130 for mine)

Good to have your tutorial, Will. How many of these inverters have you installed now, and what would you say about customer satisfaction and general reliability?

This is great...only problem is I need a budget friendly spit phase for a 50 amp camper, for back up only

i'm currently converting my touring caravan to solar as the site owners charge £5 per day for mains electric ( £140 per month ) these all in one units seem brilliant for my 495w solar panel and 24v 200ah lithium battery

Thanks Will

Nice video, Will.

Bro I love your content thanks :)

Cleanup the wiring. I use at least 2 straps per wire to keep the wire from moving on the terminal. (I’m a master electrician 20 years in the trade) Nice work!

Great stuff. Could you do a vid on a system that has super cspacitors in circuit for handling large startip load like heat pump or big saw

Thanks man was interested in this battery for awhile it's a great deal even for used let us know how she holds up :)

Nice one Will, cheap and safe 24v system thumbs up from me

A very big CON for me is nearly constant fan running with accompanied noise. A light load and light charging current makes it run. I flipped the fans around, which if it helped, I could not tell. I can't do much about inverter triggered fan, but for solar charging I can and did.... adding a Rich Solar 20A MPPT. FYI: my single panel is 395w (41.4V VMP - 9.55A IMP)

Very informative video Thank you so much.

You might want to look into getting a couple of ferule crimpers. One for the larger stuff (battery) and one for the smaller stuff (panels and small ac). They have pretty much become code for everything Europe.

I love watching your videos, I learn a lot, Thanks William Orange county, Ca.

Will, always a great Informative video. Does this system come in 12volt, and can I use it with Renogy 400w solar kit, or would I have to add more solar. Right now I have in my skoolie six lead acid batteries without the 400w solar kit hooked up. Would this all in one be good for me, if I wanted to add 600w more of solar? Thank you for always giving your most honest advice and opinions..👍

Good review, thanks for the info! Could you do a video on VFD controllers? in order to use 3 phase motors and higher load appliances like water pumps. Would that be recomendable? Thanks for your work again :)

very super videos, if i need info look for i will , thank you

This looks great. I wish we had stuff like this in the UK. Thanks for all the comprehensive videos!

If i just new how to wire it into the rv system for all the 12 volt appliances this would be perfect.

Hi Will, quick question. Will these units work with both solar and windmills? I live above Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada and in the winter we only get a few hours of sunlight a day but I also live on the shores of Lake Manitoba and we get HUGE amounts of wind here all the time, 24/7. Right now outside at this. moment there's a 30-40kph wind howling away. I'd like to set up a hybrid system, solar and wind, as we can get 18 hours of day light in the summer too. Please advise I absolutely love your channel and advise and reviews you give but it seems to be only about solar and I haven't seen anything on hybrid duel input systems other than grid as the second input.

Love your videos. What should the Low Voltage Disconnect be set to for a 24v Lead Acid battery?

Like what you are doing keep it up. Great Job

Thanks for the videos. I have learned a lot from you. Am about to build one the other systems you recommend for my shed. Thinking about building this one for my house but am wondering how would you go about connecting DC appliances to this setup? Have a 24v freezer and water pump that will need to eat.

Your the best, keep it up

got my 24v 240v 50a mppt controller today!! looks well made.

Great thanks. Got to make it reasonably priced. I looked at package systems about had a heart attack and still with out batteries. Small cabin system is what im looking for. Has to run a fridge full time then some lights and a tv few hours a day

Great System! I got mine set up and working with two Valence 12 volt batteries for the 24 volt setup. I have four 250 watt panels at 49 OCV. I ended up connecting two panels in parallel and series wired the pairs together so not to overcharge the MPPT Controller. Will's settings worked great with no problems. Thanks again for info! 👍👍👍

Just heads up you have to change the battery type before you get to the function will is talking about option number five switch it to user then you can program
