So my micro system just wasn't doing it for me. Being past broke but never throwing anything away, I made a micro Utility Backup for it ROFL! Enjoy

It was some cheapo off AMZ, will pull the link. I have 24 HQST's running the main array here & LOVE them across all other branded panels I have around. HWST have a great frame but may be 1" and not 3/4. I only went cheapo as I needed to span the factory rails to not have to put in crossbars...

Really? I had no Idea you could do that. I figured it'd pop the host SUV 12v socket fuse

Yes there is room for another panel, but he's on a seriously tight budget. I have a TEG cooler & a 12v Compressor cooler, but as he will be at Amazon the whole time & they have huge door coolers & unlimited ice.... he'll be ok.

Here's the Trolling Battery Smart box (well one like it), I think these are great for the price...

Oh, The RV light was leftover from a camper renew we did over the winter, and I thought it funny to install an overly bright LED panel light :D

Thanks There's a dual-head 6" 12v fan in it, an SUV inflatable air mat, and a 10A 120v charger so he can recharge off the SUV or 120v if needed. DC-DC chargers are two much dough (of course the SUV's 120v would come via running the inverter of the SUV 12v socket). Got the SUV for a grand...

Was building a Stealth-Sleeper and decided to add 150w panel direct to rack, cheapo charge controller, and smart box with a mice 75Ah SLA. Added in an RV light to make it official lol. (not my finest work but it was pro-bono)

As I wanted the water noise after dusk for a while, I went with: (2) 25watt panels for morning/evening charging. (1) Cheapo charge controller & 7Ah LifePO4 (1) Cheapo pump off AMZ.

A "small" project: Have a 12-24vdc pump coming from Amazon for a fountain. I have 2 25w panels 30ft away on the well tower. I can't think of any reason why I couldn't just run the PV direct to pump. -Thoughts? Pump...

THis is correct, as long as you keep the voltage SAFELY under the limit you can add as many panels as you want. MPPT pulls only what it needs and will not take in more amps than designed. This is the same case when we put 2400a to a Delta Max, and even Ecoflow Reddit rep said it would be fine...

Newark Ohio

Looking on the back, one can add extra batteries*

We pulled this from a TJ-Maxx that moved out, this was being fed from a 2P30A Breaker, and was feeding a "DP" panel. I do have the feet fo floor usage. The whips on the back got smacked by the Sinergy unit, so it needs new metallic flex but the wiring is fine. Also shown in pic, one of the...

We started a commercial job where a previous TJ-Maxx left some stuff, including two UPS's. The power had been down for two months, both units were still wired in but are dead and I don't have the time to mess with. Make offer but LOCAL pickup only in Newark Ohio (or you pay someone on UShip to...
