DIY – Portable Solar Power – The Practical Freezer Test – PART 1

This video is the 1st of a 3 part series to show what a homemade portable solar generator could do in a power outage. In this video I plug in compact freezer at 5:00 pm, with the intent to run it for a full day, or until it dies from too low battery voltage. To ensure success I also added 5 or 6 homemade frozen gel packs and a 1 Gallon frozen ice jug to the contents of the freezer for added cold retention. The intent was to see what I could do to keep the compressor from coming on too frequently and draining the battery. Since a compressor doesn’t usually run 100% of the time, I wanted to see if I could decrease the runtime significantly thereby increasing the effectiveness of the Portable Solar Generator. My Portable Solar Generator was built with the following components: 1ea. Cart\Dolly from COSTCO at 1ea. Battery Box from O’Reileys auto parts at to 1ea. 1200W modified sine wave inverter at around or dollars? 1ea. 115ah Deep Cycle battery from From COSTCO at 1ea. PWM Instapark charge controller from Amazon at To build your own, check out this video: www.youtube.com

Whole House Solar PV, not a DIY, installed by Astrum Solar, own, lease or finance

www.FredsFineFowl.com Whole house solar power system grid tied rated at peak performance of 10kw. This video is NOT in any way affiliated with Astrum Solar or any other Solar Power company… it is for information purposes only and shows the home I designed and constructed myself… solar power was something I wanted someone else to install as I felt it was important to have the system warranty in the event that something fails to function as designed. The panels are the New Pluto Technology which prove more efficient in generating energy on overcast, rainy and even snow days. If the sun is shining, power is generated even through several inches of snow. That technology pushed my decision to go ahead with it here in the North Eastern United States. Smaller homes with less suitable roof spacing will need higher density panels, or possibly have a yard array… Astrum Solar offered us the option of roof mounted or yard mounted (yard mounted would have been more efficient in it’s orientation to the sun) but I wanted it off the ground. My roof shingles are rated for 40 years, the panels are rated to perform at 80% rated efficiency even after 25 years, so I think we are in good shape. We can add more panels later if needed and we left space to do that on one array.
