DIY – Small Off-grid Solar System – Is It Worth It?

Simple, isn’t it.

Here are some of the real life pictures of the solar system.

Back shot of the 2 solar panels, as you can see, we recycled an old antenna fixture for the second panel.
This right here shows the two switches that control the flow of energy from each individual panel
This is the Junction box, where the panels get wired in parallel
Here is a not so great wiring job and where the wires from the solar panels go into the charge controller, and then into the battery bank. Do your self a favor and make your wires organized and aesthetically pleasing, or else your bound to short circuit something. (I share this system with someone else who is less concerned about having things organized)
And this is our 4 batteries wired in parallel, attached to the 500watt power inverter
