WARNING! PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION!

If you plan on building this solar generator yourself, you should know solar generators, solar panels, batteries and power inverters pose a risk of electric shock. Do not connect or disconnect wires, terminals or plugs while the unit is under load current.

Steps to Build a Solar Generator:

1. Secure batteries in housing (contractor chest)
2. Build wiring harness (positive/negative wires to ring connectors)
3. Secure charge controller
4. Connect charge controller to batteries
5. Secure power inverter
5. Connect inverter to batteries
6. Secure AC outlets
7. Connect AC outlets to power inverter
8. Connect solar panel(s) to charge controller
9. Start using your generator & Give the glory to God!

The plan is to connect the solar panel to the charge controller (if needed, if not then connect solar panel directly to battery), and in turn the charge controller to the battery onto which is connected the power inverter which powers your devices.
