Yes, his videos are "crazy" good.
I have been off grid at my home for over 15 years and I've designed and built the world's first solar and wind powered wood fired oven FOOD TRUCK. So, having put together a few solar / off grid systems I'm about to take on a solar / battery system for a 40 foot Albin Trawler. This boat has no generator and it has a very small solar battery system now. I intend to essentially start from scratch with a new much large solar/battery system to make all my power. (When the engines are running it will also be charging the batteries). The plan is to make a SUNDECK or a roof out of solar panels over the aft deck. Initial calculations suggest I can get six 325 WATT Mono's on this Trawler. It will be a 24 Volt DC system, two 12 volt Battle Born Lithium Ion batteries in series, a 2,000 watt 24 volt inverter taking DC power to make 110VAC power out of it where needed on the boat, a transformer to knock that 24VDC down to 12VDC for other various onboad uses. Pure copper wires. Frame for solar panels will be made out of aluminum. Rough estimate is I can do this for about $5K. It will be similar to the system I put on my food truck, except there I have 8 solar panels. But panels have improved their output; smaller area produces more power in 2020.
I love solar power. And these power houses of Litium Ion batteries weigh only about 31 pounds so I will have similar AH with two of these weighing in at 62 pounds total compared to about 440 pounds of lead acids, and lead acids need regular tending.
Being self reliant and sustainable are extremely high on my list. Not needing fuel for a generator and not having the NOISE of generator or engines running are also very high priorities. Having done this on other "mobile" applications gives me added confidence. Quiet, reliable, regular, abundant power. What is not to love??
