This video is your guide to understanding how off-grid solar works.
From the simplicity of a single solar panel system to the robustness of a hybrid inverter setup, I cover it all:
- Discover the basics with an off-grid solar diagram that starts with just one panel and a small inverter, perfect for camping trips where you need a few lights or perhaps a TV.
- Learn how an off-grid solar system works when it’s paired with an inverter charger and a backup generator - ideal for a cabin in the woods.
- Explore a comprehensive, large-scale system featuring a hybrid inverter that powers a home entirely off-grid.
Curious about how I calculate these systems off grid solar systems? Leave a comment and let me know which setup you’d like a deep dive into. I'll break down the nuts and bolts of off-grid living, including the wire and fuse sizes and the thought process behind each component selection.

@Cleversolarpower, i'm more interested with Off-grid solar system(3rd option based on your explanations) especially 5kW, 10kW, 15kW, 20kW, 50kW and 100kW. I think i need more understanding on these Bigger capacities solar systems.

@russelltaylor6873 10 дней назад

I like option 2. Perhaps more of a backup for essential appliances when the grid falls over (again) 😂

I do enjoy your work. I'm currently working on a system consisting of NiMH batteries from a Toyota hybrid, configured for 12v, PWM change controler, 400w of solar panels (one 100w & two 150w) and a 1500w inverter. This is for off grid use, for a refrigerator, lights, TV and a water pump. I get about 12 hours of sun where I live.

@Teknopottu 2 месяца назад

Hi! What cars use NiMH chemistry in their batterys? Only thought they were for smaller applications.

@kerrybain3196 2 месяца назад

@@Teknopottu Toyota Aqua, Fielder, & Prius use them.

I'm curious about your sun hours. Where do you live that gets 12 hours of sun? Where I'm at, the sun is out for 10 plus hours, but I only get 4 hours of prime charging. The rest of the daylight hours are partial at best. For me, I have near shading to the south of my property. Trees. Between 9 am, and 11 am, I pull in 500 watts from my 700-watt Solar array. After 11, I typically drop back to 250/300. And then from 3 pm, to 5 pm, I get around 350 to 450.

For starters I absolutely love your videos helps me understand all of this. We actually have an off grid system that after learning as much as I can about it I believe it was way under powered and is not keeping up with our consumption. And I also have an RV that I’m planning on putting solar on for Boondock camping. So again thank you very much and I look forward to watching everything else you can teach me.

@Cainbantam День назад

Hey! Thanks for the very clear explanations! I would be interested to know more about systems that allow you to connect the battery to a wall electricity outlet to pour the current produced by the panels in your home AC circuit. Some solar power generator offer this possibility, how to make it yourself? Thanks again! I think I will end up buying your book :)

@cleversolarpower 15 часов назад

These are called grid tied inverters. Check out my video: different types of inverters.

@TimHill-lk5bn 2 месяца назад

How about the differences - pros v cons - of an inverter/charger (2) against the all-in-one of (3) (beyond the built-in MPPT charge controller).

@cleversolarpower Месяц назад

System 2 offers more flexibility and customization. System 3 offers easy connections but is not customizable. With system 1, you can have multiple MPPTs for reliability, while if one component in the EG4 breaks, you are out of power. So, system 2 is more redundant.

@terryuland6502 2 месяца назад

I have that exact generator, it’s great! Only thing is you might need to add a hard start kit to your HVAC to make it run off that generator. Which brings up a question - what size inverter and solar system is needed to start and power a 4 ton AC system?

@cleversolarpower Месяц назад

Thanks for your comment. Do you use the generator to run into a hybrid inverter, or do you power the loads directly with it? I'm asking because this generator can have high harmonic distortion, which is most likely not accepted as a generator input.

Can you make a video about what kind of system is the moste effective if jou have solar withe microinverters

@cleversolarpower Месяц назад

If you have microinverters, you should be grid-tied. Otherwise, a microinverter is not useful (in my opinion). I don't like to use them because they have quite some limitations. Check my video about different inverters to learn more.

I just bought a RV pull trailer and it has a 200 watt solar panel feeding to a PMW then I believe it goes to the lead acid battery then to a cut off switch. The RV has already a lithium ready inverter built into the breaker A/C D/C Box. I want to upgrade to 400 watts and put in a LiTime lithium 12 volt 230 Amp battery. I want to keep my 30 amp plug shore power to also charge my battery. Can you supply me a drawing for that ? I’ll pay also.
