100 Watt Solar Power Build || DIY Off Grid Campervan #20 || 12v Parallel Battery Bank || Tiny House

Campervan Build #20 – 100 Watt Off Grid Solar Power Build
I finally figured it all out! This is a How I Did it, NOT a How To, I made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot. Attempt at your own risk.

I heavily relied on Conor from http://thrivingminimalist.com/ ‘s solar article and I ordered everything he used, except his battery link goes to 12 volt batteries instead of 6 volt batteries, a major mistake I overlooked that cost me a lot of time! I made a ton of mistakes I know, I researched as many safety videos as possible but still messed up, in the end I did it though! Here’s Conor’s Solar video: https://youtu.be/tElO3Io7zZA

I ended up using 2 – 12 volt golf cart batteries run parallel to create a 12 volt battery bank for my system. (I had wanted to use 4 – 6 volt batteries but mistakes were made and I had to adapt.)

What I ended up using (Cost was between $600-$700 if you don’t consider the 2 extra batteries I bought from the mistake):

Drill bit slightly bigger than the 12 guage wire that goes through metal, like $4 at Home Depot.
