I just ordered 2 Battleborn LiFePO4's 100 ah, and Ronnie told me they don't charge tax or shipping. He said they eat it. Everyone else charges tax for my state. He also ended up giving me $100 off! How awesome was that after just going through a nightmare with Amazon cancelling most of my...

Will Prowse (the owner if this forum) on stage at Enigmatic Nomatics van build in Arizona this month discussing solar. Great speech Will!

Why not help Will Prowse out and watch his YouTube videos and learn about solar electricity too? Don't have time and just want to support him? Just put the playlist on in the background while you do your thing! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7bvIB2TPsChaaGyPfBbk-txxXqe82PK5

Who is using solar for their electricity either in a sticks and bricks home or home on wheels, or both?

EDITED: I have been told by different people not to solder cable lugs. I just was shown by a forum member that I should tin my connections after crimping. I know absolutely nothing about the subject. I would like to hear everyone's opinion that knows. Thanks ahead of time.

Can someone please tell me how to print an entire post? I tried and it only printed the first page, second page was blank. There are a lot more pages...Also, it came out really small font. I want to print this thread...

I am considering my electric loads. I would like to know, IF one were to use an electrical heater, for instance, and there are 2 settings, either 800 watts or 1000 watts, and if you were to use the higher setting for say, 5 minutes, or use the lower setting for 7 minutes, which would be more...

I have this scooter (Ezip 450) with 2 small lead acid batteries. I want to know if it's possible and safe to change to Lithium Iron batteries and if so, how? Would you need a different charger or controller? Someone on Amazon said this, "You can, just make sure your discharge rate on the...

Hi, I have a mini-scooter with (2) 6v batteries hooked together and have to charge them 6-8 hours (for full charge when depleted). I am looking at the charger numbers and it's very confusing. I am trying to figure out how much power they will consume on my solar system to charge. Can someone...

I know this may sound like a dumb question, but...I thought everything you plug in AC was 12 Volts. I am trying to figure my daily electric consumption and I just looked at the back of some items and they say 120v. Can someone explain this please?

I ordered a really good fridge w/ 20% coupon code on 11-8-19. A few days later I ordered Will's book and received it. I ordered my stuff to build my Renogy dc/dc 2 days ago. (A lot of money to me.) They froze my account for suspicious activity?? I had the same card as before and name and...

Just a head's up, if you sign up for Renogy's newsletter as a new customer you will receive 5% off your first purchase from Renogy. https://www.renogy.com/ Scroll down to bottom right to sign up. They will email it to use. I just used it.

Hi Everybody, I am finally continuing to finish my set up and I am following (almost) Will's blueprint here: https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/simplified-400-watt-fewer-wires-and-alternator-charging.html BUT, I will be using 8 AWG wires coming from the SCC to the Y-branch connector. So here...

regarding: DCC50S 12V 50A DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT Originally I ordered this from Amazon and they screwed up my orders horribly. They put my account on hold (for no good reason) and then began cancelling things that I ordered. I ordered about $4,000 in solar stuff. I tried to get...

Rockpals is having a big sale with additional coupons: https://www.rockpals.com/pages/deal?_ke=eyJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJtcnNzYW50YTJAcHJvdG9ubWFpbC5jb20iLCAia2xfY29tcGFueV9pZCI6ICJKVkt5SjQifQ== Note: Some come with panels and some are sold separately. I bought a heated vest and it came the next day.

What are your thoughts on these solar security cameras? ,

Can someone please help me select a busbar size for this arrangement of Will's? https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/400-watt-w-alternator-charging.html I am getting a 300 amp ANL main fuse for the circuit breaker, if that even matters. I didn't see it in Will's book. TY

Hello, This is definitely a beginner tool question. Someone told me to buy a multimeter to test a solar panel. I also want to have all the tools I need to go on the road with my solar. I have seen these 2 different types of meters. I've never used either type & would like to know what...

I need to get brass nuts, bolts, washers, for my Battle Born battery terminal connections. (I want 3/8" and 5/16"). They didn't have any at Home Depot yesterday. I only found them one place online, but they will be coming from China and could take forever (and can I trust the material)? (Ask...

Someone told me to get these to last a lifetime, but there aren't any instructions. Can someone show me a picture or a video how to install these for my inverter wires? https://www.newegg.com/p/1X0-004E-00031?Description= Ring Terminal Ground Lug &cm_re=Ring_Terminal_Ground_Lug- P.S. I am...

I don't know if this subject is off limits here, but is anyone going to the 2020 RTR/WRTR? I was referred to Will's YT channel years ago from Bob's forum.

I am looking for a compact "All-in-one" printer, copier, faxer and scanner. Does anyone know of any? (I need small dimensions - going to travel with it.)

Can anyone recommend a good quality tool to crimp 10 AWG to 4/0 (ought)? I plan to do other people's installations after I get mine down pat.

I am trying to finish ordering my parts. I need to order the lugs (and/or bolts, cable, for my entire system) and need to know the size of the terminals for the inverter in the title. The manual online does not say the terminal sizes. I am going to be using 4/0 (ought) cable on both the...

I have a suitcase panel 100w (no-name) that came with an all-in-one battery I bought years ago. (My all in one battery was stolen.) I think the panel is mono-crystalline because of the rounded corners. (The company I bought them from doesn't sell them any longer.) I also have (4) 100w...

I received 2 BB's and one of the neg. posts looks partially tarnished. I called the company and he asked me to send him a pic. My video cam is broken. I still use a flip phone out of choice. I just realized I could take a pic with that phone. I don't know how good the quality is, but I...

I am going to be doing a slightly modified version of Will's blueprint. https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/simplified-400-watt-fewer-wires-and-alternator-charging.html I have (4) 100 watt polycrystalline panels, and (1) 100 watt monocrystalline suitcase panel. The specs on both types are very...

Hello, I just ordered your book Will, as paperback and on your website it says the kindle is free after ordering the paperback. Can someone tell me how to read the free kindle now? Thanks

Hello, I have a 100 watt suitcase panel (my all-in-one was stolen though). I am starting from scratch and want to build the system (400 watt) that Will just did a video on the Renergy DC-DC. I want to know if I can buy either 3 flexible panels or 3 suitcase panels to complete this with my old...

Hi everyone, I am new here, but watch Will's videos all the time. (Thank you Will!) , I am trying to purchase everything for Will's latest set up (Renegy dc/dc, 400 watt 12v, two Battle borns 100ah, 2000/4000 inverter, etc). I am buying everything on his blueprint. I am confused about how...

I want to know why my comments are being censored and changed when I said nothing wrong, and NEVER gave permission to change my words. I want to know why you changed a "cuss word" in my PRIVATE chat to some other word repeatedly. I want to know why there are mods that seem to have nothing...

I would like a title changed on a thread. Can you tell me how? How do I know what mods are active here?

So, some people on a DLIVE chat say producing solar equipment produces a lot of pollution. Also, after an EMP, batteries won't work some are saying. Also charge controllers will be shot. Any feedback? (I have a Faraday bag, but hard to get in a battery and can't use the battery if its in...

Can anyone recommend a 300A covered fuse that can handle the 4/0 sized cables I am attaching? Thank you. EDITED: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079ZL5SLL/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&th=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=vehicledwelling-20&linkId=8f3a627c709b7263258218d372eb6e8f&language=en_US Like this but...

All my alerts from all the past comments were deleted on my account today. (The bell, upper right.) I can't see anything I commented on in the past 2 months since I joined. Can someone please explain why?

Can you please tell me which pair of cutters to buy on Amazon that will cut 4/0 ought cables? thanks!

I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here and thank you for all your help! I especially want to thank Will Prowse for doing this for us! God bless everyone!

Does anyone own and use this inverter, and if so, what is your opinion on it? Thanks in advance. https://www.homedepot.com/p/GoWISE-USA-3-Outlet-Pure-Sine-Wave-Inverter-2-000-Watt-Continuous-4-000-Watt-Peak-with-5-Volt-USB-Port-PS1003/306070706

I bought this from Costco last month (I think its the correct one). I like to have it for all my tires (bike, scooter, car, ball) and in case my starting battery needs a jump. It was $99. I will be making my own solar system with 2 battleborns 100ah each. I am wondering if I should return it...

I am getting 300 amp ANL fuses and the holder doesn't come with any fuses. I see there are gold plated ones, silver plated, etc. Can you tell me which kind to buy and the best place to get them? Thank you.

This looks like a great deal with 20% off after spinning the wheel. https://www.rockpals.com/products/rockpals-2000-watt-super-quiet-inverter-generator Does anyone have any experience or opinion of this gas generator?

Someone posted a link here to this website yesterday. I ran across this heated vest (really too big for me to wear, but could be OK with wearing layers) and I was wondering if it could be used for batteries in a pinch. I don't plan on being in areas that drop below 32F, but could this work as a...
