How to put solar panels on your shed.
From there the rest of the solar install was a cinch.
I bought an 16a charge controller from maplins.
D o you have a shed or other outbuilding that could use light and or power.
All shed and cabin solar kits comprise of a panel a regulator and a battery.
You must get photovoltaic nothing else.
But if the building is a fair distance from the house so that wiring it would be a hassle or a large expense consider a solar powered system.
Mounting the solar panel.
Connect the red wire to the positive connection and the black wire to the negative connection at the terminal posts.
Begin by connecting the wiring from the solar panel to the junction box.
Run your shed off grid.
To secure the panels to the wood we simply ran screws from at the top and bottom into the ends of the 2 x 4 s.
On the off grid kits i have always used sealed gel batteries.
They can handle the environment provided they are kept wrapped up in an insulated box.
Strip the wires and insert the cable into the junction box.
That s the whole energy source ready for distribution into the building.
I bought a 10w photo voltaic solar panel.
This step is not unlike the order in which you might hook up jumper cables between two cars.
Since the inergy units are plug and use we simply ran the heavy duty charging cord from the panels into the cabin.
Getting power inside the cabin.
In many cases running an underground cable from your house to the building is the most economical way to go.
Wire connectors i used like 20 1 step 2.
The z brackets are used to attach the solar panels to the roof of your shed.
