How to Install Off-Grid Solar Yourself
We have been asked again and again to show how solar panels are wired into an off grid system. In this video we wire up solar panels and a charge controller into a 12v battery operated off grid electrical system. I hope you see that it’s really quite easy to understand. There is actually very little to it once you see the wiring laying on a table and not installed with all the other systems most installations entail.
NOTE: the batteries in this video aren’t simply in parallel. They are of different chemistry as putting them together would require care and has issues.
Next week’s video will show how we connect them. Spoiler, it’s with one of these.

(Like any Amazon link on YouTube, if you buy something there we get a tiny cut from the seller. So thanks if you buy it here. But that’s not why we post things on Amazon. Amazon is the only choice for us to share links that don’t “die” when the product sells out. I personally buy a lot of stuff on eBay. You should shop wherever you’ll get the best deal.)
