Overview of my lightweight, weatherproof solar power system for efficient winter electricity generation. I've used it for a year now without fault. With this little kit you can get back to nature whilst staying fully connected when needs be. 00:01 Introduction 01:11 Off-Grid is Easy Today 03:16 Solar Panel Orientation 04:03 Choice of Solar Panels 06:05 DIY Mounting System 11:38 Compact Solar Power Controller 15:44 Closing thoughts These panels are now mounted on a rotating platform I built for my micro-camper van, you can see that system being made here: https://youtu.be/i3fdHAfZY44 ___________________________ SOLAR POWER SYSTEM TECHNICAL INFO: Ah ~ Amp hour: Time releasing charge at set voltage. UNIT SPECIFICATIONS: 2 x 50w mono-crystaline silicate panels 1 x Solar Controller with 18ah 12v Lithium battery 4 x 5w LED lights (Sold as package 'Solar Lighting System') From Photonic Universe (UK) @ £319 total. POWER STORAGE: Solar Controller battery @100% = 18ah @ 12v (1500w) Phone Batt@100%: 5ah phone battery @ 5v (1000w) Phone full charge uses 12ah @ 12v (1000w) LIGHT BULB CONSUMPTION: 1 x 5w bulb uses 0.42ah @ 12v per hour 18ah@12v battery therefore runs 1x5w bulb 42.8hrs _____________ CHARGING LOG: First Three Days - December (Estimates from usage): Two days heavy cloud cover, one day occassional sunny spells. Calculated approx charge @12v over three days: 8.3ah per day avg. Cloudy daylight gives approx 10w charge = 0.83ah per hour. Peak 100w charge fills 18ah battery in 2.1hrs in theory. Charged 1.8ah @ 12v over 4 hrs under heavy cloud = 15% of 5ah @ 5v phone battery. POWER USAGE QUOTAS: (Based on 3 day winter average.) Nb. Overcast Solar production roughly equals phone consumption (in use) per hour. 8ah @ 12v per day charging average under cloud/rain/occasional sunny spells granting: 66% phone batt a day without light usage (8ah@12v) = 8-10hrs listening to Iron Mike Tyson per day. __________________ UPDATE MARCH 2022: Now that the days are longer, I have no need to ration my power consumption at all. I use a light through the evening as long as I want and can use my phone intensively for e.g. video editing and always have power to spare. So, in conclusion, some rationing is only needed through the darkest months i.e. November, December, January. _____________________________________ Visit my channel, The Curious World of a Renegade Renaissance Man, via this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAIDJIlXb1DEaO-KgaKrTNg This production was created entirely on a smartphone, off-grid on solar power. #SolarPower #offgrid #survival #Camping #backtonature #backtobasics #Tent #SustainableLiving #Solar #bushcraftkit #bushcraftcamp #SolarElectricity #RenewableEnergy #JPWCrafts #RenaissanceMan ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5QqbjuUL9A
