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
