Great , you make it seem so easy!!!
Now, I like to use a similar system to run a small 12V AC system with its
compressor, its motor and its fan but don’t know how to figure out the size
of the solar panels for all of that. What do you suggest?
never seen a little ice maker…awesome..santa just brought me a 1000watt
pure sine wave inverter..got a 85w and 100watt panel on my 2 battery
system….gotta try this out…when i find an ice maker…
Someone that knows what they are doing can add a ‘starter coil’ (really
more like a condenser on a car motor) that stores enough juice to get you
past the initial spike of starting up. Full size A/C units use them
routinely. Even on my motor coach roof units.
love your works, which off grid ice maker do you recommended?
i LOVE it
Making Ice with the Sun!
Love this Prepper Ice idea! :)
Love it! Thanks for showing this one.
Add a start capacitor so hard start kit to the compressor on the Ice
machine, it will drop you watts.
Where is my offgrid snow cone?
Excellent – pair this up with a home made cooler box and you’ve got a
fridge & freezer running for free.
Impressive setup, how much was the total Solar Panel unit cost? Solar
Panel, Inverter, Batteries. As you mentioned, would one 90W solar panel
would be enough for this type of setup?
You are awesome, and great video!
Wow! Ice Maker info please???
Add this to your ice chest air conditioner system and you’ve got all
aspects of an air conditioning system from the sun. Love it.
Where can I get the Ice maker??? Please. this is an awesome Idea In FloridA
just imagine….
Cool! Can you show the wiring diagram and part numbers involved so we can
duplicate your setup?
Love it. is good…
Are you making enough solar power to run a fridge/freezer?
Festival goers dream!!!
instead of water could you add lemon juice and water or a banana and water
mix for a frozen smoothie on the road
great device also liked the scoop. lot of production in a short time make
up time is very good. what about clear ice? how about adding a filter plus
have that quick production wow!
