The following was all installed in 7 hrs at our place and 3 hours at a friends garage where the batteries were assembled along with a prewire of a BMS = Battery Managment System for the Lithium batteries. This is a must otherwise you will have an issue with any lithium batteries. Eg overheating, expolding, fire etc. Using 8 320W solar panels to produce the energy.I’m interested in more detail so maybe I can copy. Any info you’re willing to share.![]()
Very cool! Not sure when I’ll make time for this, but I may implement this on my new shed that gets almost all day sun and use for my pool pump and garage excess use.

System consists of the following.
8 320W solar panels. These are mounted on some used aluminum shoring beams.
These are wired together and then brought into the house via a 8 gauge cable.
This then goes into a DC breaker panel box, Midnite Solar brand.
Then to Midnite charge controller, then to the BMS and then to the lithium batteries.
Inverter is a Sigineer 6000 w 24 V .
Forgot to mention that we also use two table saws.
So far still working just great. No fuel to bring up to feed the genny.
Hope this helps.
I’ve been wanting a welding table myself. Very solid work!Welding table continued.
Made the M12 threaded holes, here is an idea of how they can be used.

continued with the holes and had to find a simple way to get the threaded holes at the corectish angle.
I didn’t want to spend time to create a tool for it and looked at ready available options.
Found out that using a socket upside down worked good. You just look from the top down and see the rim of the socket.
this gives a good idea of how square you are threading.

Are those the people you pay to f.u. So you can do the work and fix the issues they created?^^^^^reminds me of when I had employees.![]()
Sure were! I have not needed to buy an extension cord in 20 years. One thing I can’t blame anyone for is those missing 3/8 drive 10mm sockets!Are those the people you pay to f.u. So you can do the work and fix the issues they created?
And pay for the damage….![]()
That is indeed one of the benefits of working alone.Sure were! I have not needed to buy an extension cord in 20 years. One thing I can’t blame anyone for is those missing 3/8 drive 10mm sockets!
