I'm also wondering what inverter to get for my system, I don't expect to be exporting to the grid but I do worry that I may waste money and buy an inverter to be told its not upto UK legal standards and can't install it so what hybrid inverter isn't going to break the bank? can I go for one of...

Hi there, So a long time ago (3 years ago) I bought a victron mppt 75 / 10 12v/24v solar charge controller, a 105ah 12v lithium leisure battery and a 100w eco worthy solar panel. During testing with a 12v pure sine wave inverter powering a mini fridge I got 3/4 days of mini fridge power before...

It was a buisness idea originally. Im going to have to see how it turns out the second time around i guess. I was thinking if i had it angled slightly forward this would help with aerodynamics of the caravan as it would help pin the wheels to the road better at the same time as giving a run off...

Yeah i flattened the roof for the solar panel its a standard rigid type edging 310w panel. I was thinking id have to match the battery up for this system to increase storage? I managed to get 3 days out of one full battery when it ldv'd i had it running the mini fridge which was a standard house...

Fair enough lol. Been thinking over my solar setup now and thinking i may have to either give it an additional battery or some kind of back up option like a campsite hookup. I think half my issue was the flat roof setup. The trim kept the water on the roof and that allowed it to qork its way in...

Would they be safe for solar panel wires??? There a cool idea though i like them.

Ive managed to safely disconnect the system now so thankyou everyone for the help and advice on that one. I agree the mouldings where hard to do and i shall look into that material "azdel" maybe im lucky and its made here in the uk and thats why you struggled to get hold of it ?? lol. If you...

Yeah 12v setup and your correct the solar goes to the charge controller then to the fuse board on a 20 or 30a fuse i forget which size fuse. I followed one of wills videos for the setup process. Was very easy to follow tbh (nice job will)

Thats what my worry was. Not sure how long it will take for me to release the solar panel as the cables run through the inside of the roof thanks for the reply bud ?

Heres my battery box. Im pretty sure you can see everything in that picture

ok so sadly my teardrop caravan which i was building last year has become a waterlogged hell hole of black mould. How do i safely remove my 310w solar panel without frying anything? Im thinking i remove the 12v fuse from the fuse board first then disconnect the positivw and neutral in that...

May be a good idea. Im terrible with numbers as is evident in the thread as i try to work out this mining machines actual running requirements ?

So to clarify in this more helpful response here to skip the last 2 posts you are saying this is going to be a 12v psu powering it at the 3250w? Its 11pm here and i dont live with my dad so may be too late on to ring him ive been busy today tbh

You know what even with solar battery banks the numbers involved are insane. I just rechecked the figures and apparently the s19 pro uses 3250w at 20 amps. This is unclear now if its a 12v or 220v item. It appears to be powered via mains but possibly through a psu? Bitmain lists as 12v but...

Thankyou supervstech i shall check out his stuff, i have lots of spare time so hopefully i can make something work. Thanks everyone who contributed, even if when you did you put it across a bit bluntly ??

The conversation flowed into this topic, it started as a solar discussion and i even made numerous suggestions that onvolved solar ie powering the dc motor from a battery that was maintained by a solar charger. Even when i made this suggestion i was brushed off as a fool and accussed of being...

not as much as you ?

Svetz thankyou, that reply is what i was looking for. Ive seen videos showing it working so naturally im going to assume it works. I didnt report anything oddly enough it must have been another commentor to the post. Ok so now if thats a dead project my next train of thought was these people...

Errrrm so yeah i made the thread so as the op this is my thread. The whole conversation has been about solar use and alternatives so i domt see how its innapropriate for a solar forum. Can i ask too, no offence here but, scienticsts are always changing there mind on the laws of physics. How do...

Just so your all aware im autistic not a fool. I want to learn about many things this has peaked my interest. I cant decide if your all adamant that it wont work because your that into solar or what? Guys posting these videos showing the readouts on the meters. All seems be legitimate. If it...

Quick side bar to this but related can anyone confirm this wiring is right to plug the motor in and turn the switch on at the wall and it will run??? seems to have 2 positives one in one out and then just one negative. Not sure if maybe ive got the capacitor wired wrong there too i assumed the...

Tbh i just like crypto in general, i wanted someway of generating enough energy to run a miner via a pool. Profitiability calculators show that these machines use about £2 worth of electric a day make about £8. Convert that to my chosen coins and dump them for gbp when the time is right. At...

The alternator produces the amps to charge the battery obviously. A 12v motor running at 3000rpm will allow the alternator to kick out the 200a at 110v with the regulator removed. A google search says thats 2880w that it produces. Im unsure what voltage that it im assuming thats 12v so what does...

They are creating enough rpm to generate 90a at 110v from what ive read. The motor is only a 12v motor using a few amps. We discussed solar decided it would require a very large investment to provide enough coverage. The goal of solar is to reduce the impact of energy creation so to discuss...

Ok yeah seems pretty legit way to make energy to me, your open enough to use renewables yet tonuse a motor to power an alternator and make power isnt possible even though theres a clear demonstration there of a guy running 2 500w light bulbs and using a battery charger to keep the 12v batteries...

this is one of the guys i seen doing this

Your conversations skills are amazing ? fools errand you say??? Looks like these alternator generators kick out a decent rating. An alternator is just the same as a windmill only difference being you can rotate this with a 12 v engine. Im going to give it a go. For the sake of about £50 i could...

Ok so revisiting this again and ive come across a few things. The most promising looking idea is using a 12v dc motor.to run a cars alternator to produce electricity on demand. Seems you can use it to charge a battery, the battery runs the motor to keep the juice going and then you can use an...

Shame those batteries aint cheap, would make an excellent storage battery for my.project idea ?

I was thinking of this as more of a stand alone run as long as possible kind of setup but if i can get solar panels installed with a grant that would then be the plan i guess. With a 5k to 10k voucher that should be enough to get a really decent system up there

Hahahaha, that reminds me i almost bought a boat when i got some inheritance the other year ? i wonder how much a teardrop caravan thats almost finished but has now got water damaged in places is worth? ?

Accidentally deleted attachment and then pressed send on my last message ?‍♂️

Ok so just spotted this. If i can get a house i can get free solar setup ?? deposit for a house is about the same as the solar systems i'm seeing to provide enough juice. At least then its all going to be ample supply hopefully, back to saving there i guess again ?

What does ymmv mean? And yes i also made that mistake with the mlm schemes i joined one called usi tech, long gone. Someone has since bought the domain and tried to replicate the scam

I was just saying if i was to do it i would try and sell my mining revenue at a good time to make it a bit more lucrative. What setup do you have power wise and mining wise? And how do you find it works for you? I guess also just as important would be where abouts in the world you are located as...
