Dit is wat wij leerden OFF-GRID Zonne-Energie - Tiny Technisch #1

Is off-grid living possible in the Netherlands? How do you install solar panels? Living off-grid in a tiny house isn't easy! That's why I'll share what we've learned in this series. Without sufficient income, this channel will eventually have to close. Help us stay afloat and support us for a small monthly fee! Donors will receive additional content and have the opportunity to ask questions and share their thoughts. Donations start at just €1 and can be paid via iDeal. Thanks in advance!

(the dimensions are slightly different here) Prices may differ from those shown in the video. This is due to a package discount that customers received at the time. I don't know if that discount still applies.

The brand did give us a discount on just the Easysolar (inverter) in exchange for being featured in this video. If we hadn't received this discount, we would have chosen this system anyway. We don't recommend anything we don't support. Comments and additions to the video: CORRECTION: Connecting panels in series is actually better than parallel. The poorer performance I mentioned is incorrect. This would only be the case if there weren't bypass diodes in the panel, but 99% of them are already factory-installed. Connecting panels in series produces a higher voltage, so charging/energy delivery starts sooner and lasts longer (a difference of 5-10% per day!). In addition, the current is lower, so there's less loss. THE advantage of a lithium battery in a solar system is the efficiency (so everything you put into it can be used later; with AGM/GEL systems, the efficiency can drop to 20% or lower). The fact that the entire battery capacity can be used (up to 50% for AGM/GEL) and that lithium doesn't require a charging curve, so once the battery reaches its charge voltage, it's fully charged. This can be achieved within an hour if the battery isn't depleted too much. (With AGM/GEL, a full charge takes at least 4-6 hours, so if the battery is too low, charging it in a day simply won't work because the sun will have disappeared by then.) The "controller" is actually a battery monitor, a kind of fuel gauge for a battery. Full black is indeed attractive, but because black is much warmer than white in the sun, the efficiency will be slightly lower.
