Playing around with all this 12/24V solar stuff got me thinking about proper connectors again. I did write down some notes on all that quite a while back (https://hackaday.io/project/168223-dc-microgrid/log/172938-connectors and https://hackaday.io/project/168223/log/173331-connectors-continued) but I'm wondering if anyone playing with stuff like this has some more input on good connectors.

Finally built a small power station or solar generator with some recycled 18650 battery cells. I didn’t find all the parts I needed so it’s not at its full battery capacity, and needs some more fuses, switches etc, but it works surprisingly well 🤩

One thing I like about it is that it uses a step-up solar charge controller so I can use smaller panels to charge it up instead of needing some with 30+V output voltage

The electric skillet is being powered by the solar battery

I’ve been build up my hobby knowledge over years. depending on your comfort level with DC power #diy or #Solargenerator might be easier. If #diy is done correctly it is safe, but i’ve had a couple close calls that might have leveled my house; so caution.

I ended just putting the panels in my driveway since my roof is facing the wrong direction, I don’t want wholes in my roof, and i don’t want to lease my roof to someone else (and buy back the power)

Got the ‘solar generator’ charged to 💯 last night; via the grid.

This morning decided to see how it’d fair with just the furnace.
So far at heavy load 600w are being pulled. I should do this for about 3.5 hours if things are constant and I don’t augment the box.

#Solargenerator #ac200max

the Bluetti ac200max arrived.

So far as predicted it is both better and worse than expected.

It can power my micro wave, but at 27v it only pull ~220w from my #18650cell battery.

at the moment i can only charge it around 650w max

still learning about it

BLUETTI Solargenerator in der 537Wh Powerstation + 200W Solarpanel-Kombi, oder doch das Jackery Explorer 1000 + 2 SolarSaga 100 Solarpanels. Hmm. 🤔 #powerstation #solarpanels #solargenerator #autarkestromversorgung
