The "Off-Grid" DIY Solar Power Setup That Powers My Channel

This YouTube channel is entirely powered by a DIY off-grid solar kit setup that I built. It consists of 480W of Eco-Worthy solar panels, a Renogy Rover 40A MPPT charge controller, 80Ah (1kWh) of LiFePO4 batteries, and an EcoFlow RIVER 2 PRO portable power station.

In this solar kit review and installation HOWTO I show how I installed the system, how much solar power I'm getting from it in the UK, and show that my YouTube channel and working from home efforts at least can be self-sufficient and off grid without the need for an expensive full house rooftop solar installation.
