Solar Install
This website will show how to install a simple easy solar set-up on a van. First, I installed 2 120 watt 12v solar panels. Also, I needed a solar controller. I purchased a MPPT solar charge controller. I set-up a battery bank and I’m using a pure sine wave inverter. This is a very simple set-up.
This website mixes a serious issue with a little travel, camping and e-biking. All this is meant to test some off-grid skills. I invite you to check out my YouTube page at Vantastic Odyssey.
The video below shows just the start of what it looks like adding solar panels. The second video shows the step by step process.
The solar install menu includes project steps which includes some pictures and a video. The step by step tutorial is a video showing a full solar install set-up including: solar panels to solar controller, battery bank, inverter, wiring, and fusing. Everything involved in a full solar installation.
