I Installed a Power Plant Myself | HUGE DIY Solar Panel System
I have wanted to get solar panels for a while but I didn't think it was worth it. But prices have come way down, and I also wondered if I could do it myself. This was one of my most challenging projects yet, but so rewarding! Now we have no electric bills and we even make money every month. #DIYsolar #solar #solarpanels

Twice the Power, Half the Cost: DIY vs OEM Solar Power on your RV/Travel Trailer/Caravan
Solar power can open up a lot of possibilities for where and how you camp in your RV, Travel Trailer, or Caravan. Most modern RV manufacturers offer an "off-grid package" or solar power option, but you may be wasting a lot of money by choosing that option! In this video, I'll show you how you can get more than twice the power at less than half the cost by building your own solar power system instead of purchasing the option from the RV manufacture.
The manufacture's option would have only given me 400W of solar panels, 200Ah/2560Wh of 12V batteries, and a 2000W inverter, at a cost of over $8,000!
I built my own system with 1200W of solar panels, a 100Ah/5120Wh 48V battery, and a 3500W inverter for only $3500!

Solar Power and renewable energy is the way of the future. Get $250 dollars off your custom solar plans HERE: https://www.solarwholesale.com/jerryrigeverything It is the instruction booklet I used to install the solar panels on my house - but will be specifically designed for your home.
If you want someone ELSE to install your solar. Tesla Solar is priced better than most. The now $100 Tesla Solar discount is here: https://ts.la/zack10701
One Year Update Video is here: https://youtu.be/vBquse_KAdI
Attempt any DIY project at your own risk. Follow local code. Working with electricity can be dangerous.
Here are my numbers.
I have an 8.06kw solar system. It cost me $13,300 (before incentives)
With the federal incentive for 2020 (26% tax credit) and my state tax credit ($1600) it brings the cost of my system down to $8,243. Remember these are 2020 prices.
Tesla would have charged me $17,000 to install a 7.56kw system in 2020.
Another company bid $21,200 for an 8kw system.
and a fourth company was $21,700 for fully installed 8.68kw
(all those bids are before government incentives)
My energy costs around $0.11 per kWh on average. Using a solar calculator like the one here: https://pvwatts.nrel.gov/ I can see that my system will generate about 12,000 kWh per year. Which is about $1,319 worth of energy. So my system will 'pay itself off' in about 6.2 years with incentives, and 10 years without the incentives. The best part though, is that over 30 years my panels will generate around $35,000 dollars worth of energy. Far more than what I paid. And they'll keep on making energy longer than that. Totally worth it.

Solar power can open up a lot of possibilities for where and how you camp in your RV, Travel Trailer, or Caravan. Most modern RV manufacturers offer an "off-grid package" or solar power option, but you may be wasting a lot of money by choosing that option! In this video, I'll show you how you can get more than twice the power at less than half the cost by building your own solar power system instead of purchasing the option from the RV manufacture.
The manufacture's option would have only given me 400W of solar panels, 200Ah/2560Wh of 12V batteries, and a 2000W inverter, at a cost of over $8,000!
I built my own system with 1200W of solar panels, a 100Ah/5120Wh 48V battery, and a 3500W inverter for only $3500!
Components used:
12x Renogy 100W Black Division Solar Panels: https://www.renogy.com/100-watt-12-volt-black-division-lightweight-monocrystalline-solar-panel/
Renogy 3500W Solar Inverter Charger: https://www.renogy.com/48v-3500w-solar-inverter-charger/
