Hi Dan, Have only watched this video but it has sold me on the Harbor Freight 3 panel set. My son has a river house in South Texas and it will be perfect for marine battery recharge, running his lap top and television. You are great doing what you do and I hope that your good work will be rewarded well.
i wished had been here before
Check the federal regulations. Homeowner assoc or Cities have a tendancy to try to impose zoning regulations that conflict with federal regulations. The feds are pushing for green alternatives.
Have the City show you the code section and ignore the letter. Force them to issue a citation and go to court.
City hall can be beat. Ya just gotta know how. Elected officials hate to say they are against alternative energy.
I am just starting with the Harborfreight solar system. How many panels can I place in parallel with the charge controller unit it came with? The system came with 3 panels, I am thinking about buying more panels. Thank you in advance for the answer.
@kobedarott You would need something to turn the armature inside the alernator in order to generate an electrical current.
How many of these kits do you think I would need for emergency energy? I would like to power fridge, freezer and some lights during a power outage. Thank you so much for the info.
My local HF has these for $149, and they will accept the 20% coupon that runs in the local papers every week.
Cant believe some of the comments on here, some of us can only afford the cheaper stuff.
OK Question,Probably not the first to ask this but there are alot of comments on here.
After you get power from the solar panel or 2 or 3 can you use that energy from one battery and connect it to an alternator to charge the batteries quicker?
For example keep a couple batteries separate at a full charge and use them at
night to run an alternator to charge say 4-12 main batteries?
Just curious, going to buy solar panels for my mobile home soon and not sure which ones to buy yet, still learning.
Watch your electric meter go backwards after installing your wind turbine and solar array! Net Metering will help reduce your bill. Solar only works 8 hours a day. Wind is operable 24 hours a day. Go to to sovdepot dot com We have all your inverters, charge controllers, wind turbine, and solar array needs.
The way the panels come out of the box is set up to mount to the frame with the wires at the top, don’t know why that is, but I just went with it. Works fine, and is easier the adjusting the mount.
wow now i dont have to talk out of my ass when a customer asks me about it lol
Hi! thank you for all the info you have been sharing over the years. I wondered if the harbor freight charge controler could be hooked to the other types of panels that youve used in the videos which produce 60-80 watts or is it just 45 watt max?
what kind of inverter do i need for a 45 watt kit and how many batteries do i need to get started ?

It took 3 million gallons of bunker to get these panels from China to the USA!!
Buy local
Thanks for the vid, but these panels are made in China. China is not a county of enviromentally friendly electronic producers not to mention all the carbon that was used to transport it from China to the USA. Most of Harbor Freight items are from China. I thought you would be more enviromentally responsible that than by promoting more home sources.
Great vid if you enjoy the benefits of cheap chinese junk. Wouldnt hook that system to my house. Sad that it comes from the green power dude, hes normally pretty sharp.
The green power guy is normally pretty cool but this is just trash systems, honestly the frigging chinese are screwing up the solar industry so bad.
@slyder2k6 Its because its cheap chinese junk. That little controller is going to toast within the first year or two.
I counter screwed the frame together and mounted it on a piece of plywood, this makes it very solid.
@OscarTankMan What city/state do you live in?
Does anyone else find it ironic that they packaged a “green unit” in all that polystyrene wrapping material? Just an observation lol.
can these be mounted to the top of an SUV? Would love to be able to have power to run a small space heater inside my SUV.
how much was it?
