I rewired our entire off grid solar power system and boosted the output by nearly 2x.

I decided to move the battery bank from next to our off grid tiny house and put them under the solar panels. This cuts the length of the wires from 60 feet down to a mere 6 feet between the solar panels and the solar charge controller.

I had to first remove all the wires from the battery bank. Then remove the batteries from their insulated box.

Next I moved the battery box over to the solar panels.

Then I hauled over a wheelbarrow load of sand and spread it out where the new home of the batteries will be. Then I leveled out the sand and set up the boards and cement blocks which make up the base of the battery box.

With help of a friend I got the battery box in its new position and checked its level.

And then I moved the batteries into their new home.

This was part one of a two part video from today's work. Stay tuned for part two, coming soon.
