Portable Generator
Enclosure
Today I'm Showing you my portable solar power generator that I recently built. I want to thank all of the folks who posted their projects on YouTube previously, they were great inspirations for this one. I consider this a medium-size and moderately priced portable solar power generator. It generates 110 amp hours and costs, including the 100-watt solar panel that's used to it about $950 dollars total cost. It's portable, but I would say that it's not meant for backpacking. It weighs about ninety pounds. This particular unit I built to use on my cruising boat. I wanted something that was portable so that when I sold the boat and upgraded, I could take the system out and take it with me. I also do some tent camping and it will be used for that purpose as well. The system offers again 110 amp hours, obviously, the starting point is to get some power into this ...so for demo

purposes today I'm using a
small 27-watt solar panel and I'll show you how all these mates and how the
whole thing works. Come around to the back of the system and you will see what
I've installed is a 2-pin SAE port that allows the energy from the solar panel
to come into the system...and once that is coming into the system it is going
to a solar charge controller that is under the top... we'll get back to that in
just a bit.
The case itself is a Plan
sportsman's case ...was about twenty-five dollars, it is quite rugged is much
more sturdy than a typical Rubbermaid container by all means but was quite
affordable and again is to be used inside a cabin on a boat so it doesn't need
to be perfectly weatherproof but this is I think quite weatherproof as it's
built. On the front, after we get some power into the batteries were able to
provide power through a number to accessory ports, we've got 12 volts on the
side I did install a 12-volt power indicator. It's reading about 13.4 volts
going in right now.
