In this video, I guide you through the entire process of building a DIY solar generator/power station using a large Ridgid Pro Gear System 2.0 toolbox. The setup features a Jupiter 1000-watt inverter, a 35Ah Mighty Max deep cycle battery, a 10-amp solar charge controller, an outlet with USB-C and two regular sockets, an LED voltage sensor, a USB cage fan, an SAE solar port, and an emergency shutoff switch. For the connections, I used 10-gauge wire to link the solar charge controller, SAE plug, and voltage sensor, while 2 AWG cables were utilized for the connections between the battery, shutoff switch, and inverter.
This solar generator build is fully customizable! You can easily expand its capacity with larger batteries or by wiring multiple batteries in parallel for more power.
