My small but growing solar setup in Manila, Philippines. I have two 40 watt panels and one 10 watt panel. I’m using a cheap 10amp pwm charge controller and a small 7ah battery.
I’ve since upgraded this to use a 100Ah motolite solarmaster battery.

Then he could plug in the cigarret outlet the 100 watt cdrking dc to ac device and have mains power !
Good job keep growing
How much did this setup cost? Can this setup power 2 fans 60-70 wattage 24/7?
Nice movie. However you should take instructions from inplix website if you want to learn how to make it easily.
those are useless .it will put out the same as put in. so when the sun hits your panels ,and they go up to 18-20 volts,it will send the same into batteries. oh that small panel will bring your others down. they should be same volts and same sun . no shaded parts.
I'd add inline fuses to it also.
Hi, very interesting, I see that I can connect my 12 v 10 w solar panel + 5 v 2.5 w without problem? Thanks for your help.
what is the purpose of switch connected to solar panel
my battery lights dont work have i wired it wrong
also im running it on 5 v
You wanna measure more accurate how much voltage PVP produce, yet you disconnect the load when measuring.. The measurment is not more accurate-.. what you're doing is measuring open circuit voltage which tells you near absolutely nothing.
is the battery that you use (the small one) .. is it deep cycle batt?
can i use car battery?
Hello, have a question. I have the same charger controller. And i think it cut when voltage is 14,5~14,6v. Its normal? I have a voltimeter connected all the time to the battery and when its charging it is in 14,5v maximum. i think this voltage killed my 12v battery.
Sir good afternoon if youre still here in PI!! Anyway sir just wanna know what kind or gauge of wire did you used in this setup. Thanks in advance!
hey nice video, i wanted to ask you something about charging cause i have no idea of panels… So i want to make a foldable panel for camping and i i want to charge a speaker box with 2 12v, 7a batteries. how many panels will i need and in how many hours does it need to charge the batteries fully? THx!
can you make more about checking out this setup is around 3 years now if you go back in the Philippines because it will be interesting
If your solar setup gets bigger, I advised you use mppt solar charger because it's more efficient than pwm or if possible run your appliances and lighting in dc.
Is it possible for your charge controller (CMP12) handle 3-100watt panels that are in series? Ex. 18v x 3 = 54v. And/or can it also handle 3-100watt panels in parallel? Ex. 5.6 amps x 3 = 16 amps. What is the max capacity of your charge controller in terms of v and amps? Thank you Gadget Addict and more power.
sir what is the different offgrid and grid solar power
Is it possible to use the load output while charging? I'm interested in running a small network camera using solar panels and a small (li-ion) battery. Hopefully the battery would give a few extra hours of operation when the sun is down.
was hafin a idea 2 start with 5 wath solar panel + inverter and battery
just 2 test it cool setup you hafe
is the switch from solar panel to charge controller 2 line?
hello. i have lots of questions. 🙂
1. can your solar set up power your place without using electricity from electric companies?
2. how much Ah capacity is your solar controller? does the Ah of the solar controller really matters when it comes to charging?
3.i am planning to set up a inverter 5000 watts to power our home.
2 piece 200Ah deep cycle battery
6 150 watts solar panels
how about my controller? any suggestions? how many Ah should i require?
can i use the connection of our generator line and plug it directly to the inverter?
Thank you so much. More power and great videos. very eduvcational. 🙂
Do you have an updated video of your setup? Are you using a Power Inverter on the load side of the charge controller? Nice little setup you got there, very nice. (+1 : 26)
i have an inverter of 1000 watts capacity. CDR king. can i plug my refrigerator there without harming my inverter. my ref consumes 250 watts only. thanks
hi, I was planning to buy a 250watt solar panel in CD-R King may I know what type of Solar controller do I need thanks
Hello Sir Phil, just recently got my solar charge controller that I've ordered from Ebay exact same thing that you have in this video, am just going to ask the cables you used to connect all of those together. Sorry I had to ask because there noone around me that have that anywhere and since you already have a working solar setup you're the best guy to ask. Thanks in advance and great job and best of luck on your YT channel its very helpful
Hi. The charge controller is a CMP12.
