I'm a complete newbie to DIY Solar. I recently bought an Electric Vehicle.
I have this crazy idea of wheeling a 1000W solar array out of my two car garage every day to charge my car. I would mount the panels to some type of frame with simple wheels. Who knows, with real efficient panels I...
I haven't had time to construct the solar suitcases, so I've just been experimenting over the past few days, and I've been able to charge my car via the AC200P, which is a $600 refurb.
With four of these $150 home depot 215 watt solar panels I can just barely get the minimum 700w that I need...
There appear to be 192 of these cells to create a 2096 wh battery.
Has anyone seen these (supposedly automotive) cells before?
Do you think they developed their own BMS? You can see the BMS in a screenshot there.
How is it possible to sell a battery this cheaply?
Do these things only cycle like 100 times before they stop working?
Has anyone tried these Global Power batteries?

If you want to order a Point Zero Titan, estimated shipping date is April 2022. That's pretty ridiculous.
At one point the Titan was the up and coming most powerful entry in the market. Now, they basically don't make and ship product. The chip shortage and shipping problems aren't so bad that...
I'm looking for a relatively portal all in one that I would use for camping. I don't want to spend more than $2000.00. I'm a complete newbie to this space.
Are the Bluetti AC200P/Max and the EcoFlow DELTA now the market leaders?
I'm leaning toward the AC200 Max at $1800. Although the EchFlow...
The reviews of the Bluetti AC200 product on Amazon are pretty brutal. So many apparently bad and defective products shipped with the AC200P line early in the introduction of the product.
Horrible customer service. DOA units. Faulty units that won't charge to 100%. Tons of error codes.
It's...
I'm comparing these two panels below for building a couple solar suitcases. Which of these panels are better?
The Nature Power 215 Watt. I kind of like the idea of being able to return these HomeDepot. It's on sale for $154:
With the Nature Power panels, I would have to convert the SAE...
I want to start small with little 400 to 100 watt array. I want to do a dead simple 4S array. I could bump up the little 400 Watt arrays from Amazon to 600 Watts for only another $150 dollars, but that would mean doing a 3S2P on the six 100W panels.
Which of these options seem best?
Should I...
Anyone seen batteries from these guys?

Their prices are cheaper than LifePower4 and they offer the same rack mounted systems.
I suppose that they don't have a US distributor.
I want to buy a 24V battery of at least 100aph. I don't want to bother with creating a 24v battery from 2 12v batteries. I want to buy from a company that stands a chance of being around for a few years to honor the warranty.
Sok and Eg4 are out of stock on their 24v batteries. I don't trust...
