This is a detailed walk-through of the planning and installation of our 3kW &#8211; 5kWH &#8211; 120V off-grid solar system that powers a rehabbed shipping container. Includes detailed cost breakdown of the entire build using@SanTanSolar Solar Panels, SOK LiFePO4 Batteries, @VictronEnergyBV  Inverter, Charge Controller &#038; Cerbo GX, and @IronRidgeSolar rack mounting. We think this is the simplest and easiest way to build a high quality, reliable off-grid solar system yourself.<\/p>\n<p>SOLAR WIRING ARTICLE: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/simple-diy-solar-system\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/simple-diy-solar-system<\/a><br \/>SOLAR WIRING DIAGRAM: <a href=\"https:\/\/products.tinyshinyhome.com\/simple-diy-solar-system\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/products.tinyshinyhome.com\/simple-diy-solar-system<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HOMIES MEMBERSHIP: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/homies\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/homies<\/a><br \/>YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCJEjbiwMc0CUvr766GgZepw\/join\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCJEjbiwMc0CUvr766GgZepw\/join<\/a><br \/>BUSINESS INQUIRIES: tinyshinyhome@thestation.io<\/p>\n<p>SECTIONS \/\/<br \/>0:00 &#8211; Intro<br \/>2:00 &#8211;  Purpose, Goals &#038; Sizing<br \/>3:57 &#8211; Why Victron?<br \/>4:53 &#8211; Basics of a Victron System<br \/>5:20 &#8211; Companion Article + Wiring Diagrams<br \/>8:02 &#8211; Solar Panel Mounting<br \/>11:30 &#8211; Solar Panel Wiring<br \/>13:34 &#8211; Solar Charge Controller<br \/>15:29 &#8211; Inverter<br \/>17:07 &#8211; Rack Battery<br \/>19:44 &#8211; Cerbo GX<br \/>20:31 &#8211; Grounding the Off-Grid System<br \/>22:38 &#8211; System Startup + Settings <br \/>27:18 &#8211; What to Expect<br \/>28:29 &#8211; How Much Did it Cost?<br \/>35:10 &#8211; Wrap Up<\/p>\n<p>LINKS \/\/<br \/>COACHING: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/coaching\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/coaching<\/a><br \/>WORKSHOPS: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/meetup\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/meetup<\/a><br \/>PRODUCTS: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/products\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/products<\/a><br \/>WEBSITE: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com<\/a><br \/>MUSIC: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/artlist-promo\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tinyshinyhome.com\/artlist-promo<\/a><br \/>INSTAGRAM: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tinyshinyhome\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tinyshinyhome<\/a><br \/>FACEBOOK: <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/tinyshinyhome\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/facebook.com\/tinyshinyhome<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have an affiliate partnership with some of the links above, and may receive compensation when items are sold.
