Want to be prepared anything? The world runs on Energy and it only takes one thing going wrong to put a monkey wrench in everyone’s life. It could be an electric crisis like in Texas or a fuel crisis due to Russia or a natural disaster. Here are two kits that will ensure you always have a source of energy to run your furnace, freezers and lights as well as much much more.
Prefab 2000Wh Portable Solar Generator
This portable Solar Generator has 700W of solar, 2000Wh of energy. & 5 ways to charge it. You can start out with just 1 foldable panel array and add more later. The important thing is to get at least a basic setup to handle potential emergencies.
DIY High Power Generator
This power kit has 1500W of solar power, 3000W continuous and 5000W peak inverter power. Our kit also has an expandable 2400Wh LiFePo4 battery power!
These 100W panels are a good size for easy shipping & setup. 15 of these will give you 1500W which is perfect for this inverter. You just wire 3 parallel sets of 5 series panels.
If you live near MN I may be able to get you panels for an even better price/watt and you could save shipping. Message me and check.
This inverter/charger can output 3000W of power at steady state and up to 5000W of peak power. It has an AC charger option as well so you can hook up a generator in case you need to recharge the batteries on a cloudy day. It is pretty easy to hook up. Just remove the front cover. Everything is clearly labeled.
Get at least two of these batteries and wire them in series for 24V. Two should be plenty for starting out. You can always add more if necessary.
You will need at least 3 pairs of these parallel connectors.
Get at least 20ft of this wire but add on whatever distance you will have between the inverter and the panels. Also be sure to select the 10AWG option. You will need to cut the cords to the correct length and wire them directly to the inverter.
You will need 3 cable options here.
Red cable with 5/16 lug on one end and at least 5ft long. Select a length based on the distance between the batteries and the inverter. in your setup.
Black cable with 5/16 lug on one end and at least 5ft long. Select a length based on the distance between the batteries and the inverter. in your setup.
Black cable around 15 inches long with two 5/16” lugs for between the batteries when connecting them in series.
Select the length you need. If you want to use a different cable be sure to get one that is at least 12AWG. You will be cutting one end off the cable and wiring it directly to the inverter output.
