    Licitti Heavy Duty AC Power Box

    This box looks promising and what I would be lookin for. Question should i get the 150a 24v battery or the 300a 12v battery one? For my one bedroom apartment I would need about 2.8 kwh of battery space. My fridge being 12v at 5 watts is the highest voltage item i would be using.

    Understood. What I do know is that battery is a terrible choice. I seethwy make mini 100a batteries. I thinknull go that route to maximize my footprint since I am in a small apartment.

    That sucks for how much that battery cost. Not going that route. Any suggestions on a different battery?

    Your right. I found a watt to watt hour converter. It looks to be nearly 3kwH. I would need 600 watt in panels but the unit can only handle 200 watts so it looks like I would never be able to supply more power to it than its using.

    Planning my first DIY build

    my first venture into solar didn't go well. I purchased an Allpowers 300w solar generator and 100w panel. Over the course of two years i used it twice and it died. Yesterday i purchased a Bluetti EB70s (plan on using the panel i purchased with my old Allpowers.) But now i want something...

    Build or Buy For a Beginner

    The Dollar Budget would be around $1000-$1200 max. If that could do it, then I would be happy. If not, if I could expand the system over time to get to where I want to be, that would be the perfect setup. I understand that at some point if I expand it, it will no longer be...

    Build or Buy For a Beginner

    About 2 years ago, I purchased an Allpowers 300-watt solar generator along with one of their 100-watt foldable panels. Well, the generator died in less than three uses over the course of 2 years. I was looking at this time purchasing a 700 or 1000-watt from a different manufacturer, but now...
