Man that’s a handy way to get some power! Loved this series. You’re showing we Tennessee boys have a little bit more smarts than people think!

IDEA.......us the dump resistor for battery heating.............of course u will need the proper flat plate heater inside an insulated box as lipo4 does not do well charging below freezing just an idea for ya............enjoyed the vid and I thank you.

What about the summer? It could over heat the batteries. Freezing is not a big issue for us. We only have a few days the are below freezing each year. We may dip below freezing, but most winter day are above freezing during daylight. The greenhouse uses this to our advantage.

Thank you for your videos and thanks for part four.

We have enjoyed building it. It will be nice to have power in the greenhouse on demand.

Great video thank you

I'd sure like to have a couple of those solar tracker mounts. I'm surprised at how inexpensive they are. If they hold up without a lot of maintenance please make another video and show us.

This is my third one. The other two are about a year old. Check out the playlist for this build. There is a solar tracker install video.

Fun video and informative. This will take some real thinking if I ever do something like this. My question is I don’t remember you getting the Baumalight ditch digger… I think you’re coming up with projects to justify acquiring new tractor toys lol. Happy new year to both of you and give Gizmodog a hug for me and Colleen.

The trencher has been around a couple months. We will did a few miles of wire, water, gas, and grey water lines before it is all over. I will most likely sell it after that.

Happy New Year to you and yours

I really enjoy watching your videos, you keep it real, and through in some humor great stuff!! Thanks for making this update video. Maybe after this setup has been up and running for a bit longer, you can let us know how much power the turbine is generating per week, or per month. I was thinking about getting a wind turbine, but from reading about them it sounds like they really do not generate to much power.

I don't look at the wind turbine as a continuous power source. At its absolute best, it can run about 3 100 watt bulbs while turning at maximum RPM. I think the wind turbine is helpful in keeping the batteries topped off on days that have less sun. Generally the days that have less sun have more wind. I don't think a wind turbine this size makes any sense for a standalone system. It compliments the solar system.

wow great job and I love how you go into details, how are you going to keep it warm in the Green house in winter ?

I have thought about building a geothermal system. I think a closed-loop system would really work well in our area due to the not-so-cold weather. It would probably help cool in the summer.

Can one see the output voltage and amp if it is working very well

@TonysTractorAdventure

I can tell you that it is working as advertised. Check out the last greenhouse video and it ran a concrete mixer. A fan and a high pressure water pump for hours. The solar by itself almost kept up with it. I lost one tick out of five on the meter and it charged back to full shortly after we stopped using the system.

@@TonysTractorAdventure Thanks for getting back to me on your experience, i just want to be clear....How many watt windmill and voltage? so it charged the battery well

@TonysTractorAdventure

Solar is the key in our area. The windmill adds little along the way due to my location. It works as advertised, but it needs wind. It seems to work out. When it is cloudy and stormy, there is wind.

Thanks for all your hard work with making these wonderful videos on Eco Worthy I got my system, built a cart for solar panel kit going to put a box with controls on it, my question is on the green unloader did the wires and wing nuts come with it nothing came with mine to hook it up?

I'm from the UK, I've watched the 4 parts of this video and it's very informative, just would like to know how the panels are connected to the wind and solar charge controller, is it in series or series parallel

@TonysTractorAdventure

4 ай бұрын

The controller is rated at 51 volts open circuit voltage. It has a max input wattage of 800 watts. You will have to arrange your panels accordingly based on your panel specs. There are so many variables depending on the panel manufacturer. Mine are 2s x 3p

Thought so I use eco worthy 120w panels @ 24.5 voc

So it will be the same for me

I'm heavily considering considering four ecoworthy trackers and mounting 12 400 watt bifacial panels for my house

Nice system except for the inverter. You would have far better off spending a few extra dollars and installing a low frequency, transformer based inverter instead of that short lived, low surge capacity high frequency, transformerless inverter. Low frequency inverters last far, far longer and they provide a much higher surge capacity.

It is a greenhouse. There will be little to no surges. It will mostly run fans in the summer.
