WOW! I have been watching endless solar how to videos. It all left me more confused than more educated. THIS VIDEO was exactly what I needed! Was going to take the plunge and order a portable solar generator this week and I can not THANK YOU enough. You saved me a TON of hassle and confusion!! I just purchased a small mini fridge similar to yours for an emergency and had NO odea what I would need to run it!!!! THANK YOU

Another thing that would help with the fridge is to buy several of those freezer gel packs and place them in the fridge where you have empty space and the fridge will stay cold longer and not cycle as much. Even if not frozen, it will help.
-
Great video, thank you. I noticed your batteries were designated as MS marine, thatβs marine starting battery, you could benefit from using marine DC batteries for Deep Cycle discharging, I hope that helps. Peace.

I have watched so many videos and left still clueless. But as for your explanation of how much power I need ππΏππΏππΏππΏππΏππΏππΏππΏππΏππΏI salute π«‘

What a great video on solar and battery banks. It never occurred to me to add an extra battery for more comfort. I thought I needed extrasolar

Fill the freezer section of the mini fridge with water bottles. The thermal mass will make it not have to work as hard. Then you don't have to play with the thermostat. The fuller a fridge is, the less hard it works after everything is already cold.

Thank You Dave, Finally a video that explains this in a straight forward and simple way for some of us that cant figure this solar/battery power thing.
-
Appreciate this "good ole boy" straight forward approach. Good info without the BS. Thank you for the effort sir. π
-
I'm RVer yet, but really like your presentation and the information. Thanks
-
π very Informative and straightforward, I'm a month into my Tramper ctc build and getting into the solar part now. Thank you for keeping it simple and the easy to understand explanation.
-
Priceless data. Thanks for sharing that.
-
Wish everyone was this simple. Thanks dude
-
Thanks. I've looked at many channels on this subject. Your, by far, is the easiest to follow and gives the best info.
-
this is the kind of info I've been looking for! thank you for doing the research for all of us. was wondering about my refrigerator as well without using propane
-
Brilliant Dave. Great information.
-
for those starting out with their first system remember tv's and such run with transformers, when button is turned off the trans former is still running, all such items should run with power bars for complete power off. nice simple to the point vid, keep up the nice work..thx
-
Thanks, as a new RV owner this helps me get a good idea of my solar needs.
-
I agree with you. I had an RV with 200-watts of solar and it kept my lead acid batteries full enough that I could generally run just about everything including my water pump, TV, computer, lights, etc. The only time I had to run my generator was when it was overcast or raining for more than a day.
-
Great video and good advice, I enjoyed watching it. Thanks Dave
-
Thank-you for the frank talk. I'm looking to make more of my budget about the battery bank now and settle on a 200 W system.
