What bothers me is the manufacture of solar panels. Kris's own manufacture of his hydro is superb and gives electric in the winter when you need it most but the fabrication of solar panels has vile impact on quarrying for costic chemicals and near slavery of children in other countries. Disposal of them is another factor contradicting the whole point in self sufficiency.

I remember back when you were having to do all the work inside the shed and you barely had room to work, let alone the tools necessary to make what you needed. How good it must feel to know that if you run into a situation where you need a small part, you have the facilities now to just go make it yourself in a few minutes rather than derail the whole project.

You're not supposed to solder crimped connections because it creates a mechanical weak point where the solder ends and the copper wire continues. In that spot the mechanical stresses are concentrated and you are more likely to have a break in the wire especially in solid core wire. The reason crimped is a little more robust is because the wires are able to move a little even though they are under pressure. Since your setup is stationary it will probably be fine for many years, but if you start having reliability problems the first thing to check would be for broken wires where you soldered the crimps. Hope this helps.

Stack or earth electrodes are good but nothing beats surface area over distance for a consistent ground for your inverter. As you know the inverter needs to reference ground correctly for your RCDs to do what there meant to. Victron kit is the best here because of the transformers they use with centre tapped earth conductor. PE connection.

Once you're have the battery running on 48V, I think 8kw of charging input works out great in your climate. I personally have a 8.1kwh solar array on my roof. The max output of the system on the 21st (winter over here) was 6.2kwh. And in summer it sits at about 8.0 in sunny weather and 7.2 in cloudy weather. I have a 8.2kwh Inverter meaning it is never fully saturated. I am in the process of adding 4 more 450w panels to flattern the curve at its peak. And to make the most of of the Inverter. So I think you made a good choice to undersize your charge controllers. You will practically never use your panels at their rated output at your Latitude.

Very nice and solid build. I also built a wooden framed system this year, nowhere near as solid, just some cut-down acacia trees in place of the beams and some old planks, no cement, no nothing. It doesn't get too windy in my region, so I didn't even bother with fixing the panels to it. Used some shattered panels I bought dirt cheap, like, $300 for 6 panels. For storage, I used LiFePO4 batteries I assembled from 300AH cells, also in a 24V system, around 14 kWh total. Some Chinese "MakeSkyBlue" MPPT, again a cheap 2kW inverter, and basically that's it. It worked. Produced around 6 kWh on the sunny days, more than enough to run a fridge, lighting, computers, cordless tools and other small comforts for the few months I lived there. Now I'm back to the city, but in the spring, should I still be alive, I will upscale the system massively. Already building DIY solar panels with the previously ordered components, ordered a wind turbine (with the generator scarily similar to yours), more powerful inverter and about 30 more kWh of the battery storage. I intend to make this place completely self sustaining, at least in the regard of the electricity.

Impressive design and work ethic you have shown here. Can't see that you've said how you've split the panels to get your 150V & 250V strings, but your charge controllers are at serious risk of blowing up. Those panels are 50V each open circuit, so it would be wise not to put more than four of those in series into the 250V mppt controller, and obviously fewer than that (fewer than 3!) into the 150V version. If you have configured them as series & parallel then the max string voltage will be less, so no problem, but it looked as though you have them in series strings. On a very cold morning the string voltage could well initially approach the 50V per panel figure, at which time you'll be looking to replace your completely blown and unproductive system...

I used 170kw of electricity in 2 months of living in a 3bed condo. If you're pulling in 40kw a day, thats substantially higher than I'm using. Amazing really that you can have so much at your disposal. Well done mate.

~2 year ROI + the peace of mind is amazing, Kris! (Using a conservative £10 per day) And the electricity will be going to the best use. Great job! Keep those charge controllers cool during the summer!

It's so embarrassing that I live in TX and we have to be convinced to use solar. Great job and good luck.

Thanks kris great build and video 👏 have seen others with solar panels use a immersion heater to heat water, use some of that wasted power that you can't use. Even if you don't what / need a hot shower or bath every night puts the power somewhere else. That you have the choice of using. Sure you aware of this but others may not. 👍🏻👏🏴

Thanks Kris, really appreciate you taking us along on your journey. I'm watching this, while taking a break from building my own solar power system.
