Your voltage no … Your voltage no load open should stay the same. Some HF controllers are not correct. Us another voltage tester. If both say 3.9 you have a short or you are hooking the panels to the output vs input.
i have 2 of the 45 … i have 2 of the 45 watt kits and i am having some trouble. the first one i set up and tested the out put of each panel which on an overcast day was reading around 16-17 v open circuit. when i attach the leads to the charge controller the voltage drops to 3.9v! i called the tech support and they said to return it. i did and the new one does the same! should the volt drop be so great? . In the sun with no battery the voltage constantly changes ! help
This is a great … This is a great video. I have been thinking for a long time on buying these harbor freight solar panels….but, I held back because I had no knowledge about solar energy. With your tutorial I am ready to buy this unit. Thanks for the knowledge.
Your BLOOPERS were hilarious. Funny..funny…funny !!!!
You have a lot of good acting skills and you are a natural in front of the camera.
Very good … Very good improvisation good tutorial I almost paid £250 to learn this, I followed all the videos, I must say I am very confident. Bless you mate

@possenti Ipods are … @possenti Ipods are funny about power. I have tried several chargers and only computer USB seems to work for the NANO w video. I would skip.
Hey Dan, I just … Hey Dan, I just bought my kit yesterday. A few tack welds on the stand works wonders for stability. Have you tried the USB charger port on the regulator/controller? I’m curious about charging my iPod from it, but I don’t want to zap it with incorrect voltage. I’ve looked everywhere for an answer, and I was hoping you knew something about this.
hi dan ? the more … hi dan ? the more panels you add the faster the batteries will charge right?what would be the idea system in your opinion.right now i have 1 kit from harbor frieght and 3 batteries and a 1000 watt inverter haven’t hooked anything up yet just going to run maybe 800 watts of chistmas lights and stuff

those are really …
those are really nice charge controllers. and do you guys actually use the panels after you make the videos?
I want one. Power …
I want one. Power half of my room with it.
Half of my room is on a other breaker switch, so I guess I could do that.
