Exciting Updates on My "Off-Grid" RV Shop Power System

- About a month ago, I put out a video about the Mango Power E solar generator/power center. I felt I did an decent job explaing the system, but I did leave everyone hanging with the placement of the panels and I did get the compatibility with solar panels slightly wrong. So I even though I decided to give an update, Mango Power threw me a curveball by asking me to try another unit with the Mango Socketpro M and test out the 240vac possiblities. Please excuse the rushed nature of the video, I had only a few hours before a winter storm came into town for a week and I didn't want to do this in the rain. Thank you to @mango_power for providing the test units. Please follow the links below in you have any questions.

What I learned with solar for 10 years is it is great except for the foggy rainy, snowy multiple days in a row that it just does not work. But a small generator charges up the batteries then. Did charge them, they are old now and need replacement. I would disagree about the fun of arguing about split phase, it always seems like when you want to teach the basics to someone with no knowledge on AC power someone needs to make it so complicated they give up again. It is OK if some people have a rudimentary understanding and they do not need to be overrun with the magic. The garden hose analogy is OK for beginners. Your cable you made is not bad, it was not unsafe and it did the job needed. The thing is all of that would need to be stored someplace. Thank you it was a very good explanation how this can be used by a beginner. I would love one of those units but it is not in the budget for now. We did loose power about 2 in the morning and it was about 10 below outside, I did not even think about getting the generator out of the garage. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and stay safe and healthy.
I have to say. I appreciate the bloopers at the end. A lot of people (myself included) look at these youtuber's and say "no way, I can't do that!" not knowing that there are multiple 'takes' and post editing going on in the background. Thank you for another great video!
No Generator, NO Noise ‼️ BEAUTIFUL SOLUTION ‼️‼️ LOVE IT.
Sigh, the gubmint will probably tax breathing and sunlight after a while. The amount of money they garner from fuel tax, will leave a hole and the gubmint is more than willing to fill that hole.
California has a new law to not allow small gas generators to be installed and sold in new RV’s in couple years.
Very good video James. Thank you Mango Power for teaming up with James sharing this great product. Happy trails!
Don't worry all this smart people are electricians would tell you you doing something right and wrong both at the same and they'll probably try to explain it to you and I think you're doing everything just as perfect as can be especially when I see that electricians do the same thing they just don't admit to it sometimes.
I'm done with this project. Waited for almost two years for mango power union, just to be struggling with it past 3 months. All units I received failed, and I'm stuck with expenses solar system that I cannot put to use. Mango sims to have a new strategy now, just to avoid answering questions. I even offered to replace faulty parts, and work with them as much as possible to get that system going. Ridiculous.
So I guess you’ve never used The generators on the RVs you’re working on ? that seems like an easy way to get power 🤔
Now we solved endless power, we need a Mango 🥭 endless water system.
I've had 20kW of grid tied solar for about two years now. Two things I know for certain: 1. There is no "optimal solution" without having the benefit of an unlimited budget. 2. The vast majority of your solar power is collected between 10am-3pm, and I have nearly two years' worth of energy monitor data to back that up. That's a great setup there as you're taking advantage of the peak hours, and the panels are also partially protected by the fabric roofs.
Glad you "SHOT FOR THE STARS!", we were all hoping to find out the same. Thanks for your amazing "One handed camera work" , loving it!
Great video. Thank you for all of your time, effort, and hard work.
Love the FrankenConnector, maybe Mango can build one as an accessory.
So clear this up for me. Using two of these I can use them to supply off grid power to a Diesel Pusher 50-amp shore cord and still run two roof-top ACs simultaneously. That is assuming 18-20 amps per AC / per leg.
Great Job James. Your our modern day McGyver. Learned lots of tips and tricks from that old show. LOL
Thank you James 😊, I always enjoy your bloopers at the end, for the haters there are cheaper ways to do this but proof of concept is right on
Never boring! Thanks.
Very informative and inspirational! Thank You!
Thank you for all the great information and advice.
