DIY Water Resistant Solar Generator - Upgrade 1.3 | More Solar input
I upgraded my DIY solar generator by adding a 2nd MPPT solar charge controller. I had to do this because I wanted to add more solar panels to it. Now my ebike battery box can charge even faster in the sun.
If you are looking to build this generator It's best to start with the original DIY video. You can find the original how to DIY video here (1.0): https://youtu.be/NFesVlDwYX8
To buy one anywhere near this solar generator you would have to spend near $2000. See prebuilt solar generators bellow. Plus if you are e-biker the price for the Solar generator box isn't bad because you already own the batteries. If the price is too high replace some parts and the cost drops big time. Like the solar charge controller, Inverter, or the screen.
