Adjustable tiltable solar panel feet are an upgraded alternative to traditional Z brackets. They allow you to: Raise your solar panel 4 to 7 inches Clear vent stacks and rooftop obstacles Add slight tilt when necessary Maintain a strong, professional mounting setup

Choosing the right solar charge controller is key to building a powerful and efficient off-grid RV system. In this episode of Todd’s Two-Minute Tech Tip Tuesday, brought to you by BigBeardBattery.com, Todd walks you through the differences between charge controller sizes, how to avoid bottlenecks, and how system voltage impacts your setup.

In this Two-Minute Tech Tip Tuesday, Todd from Big Beard Battery breaks down DIN rail terminal blocks—a clean, safe solution for extending AC cables when your inverter isn’t close enough to your breaker panel.

In this tech tip, Todd explains how DC breakers work, the difference between polarized and non-polarized breakers, and why direction matters when interrupting DC current.

Best Way to Wire Solar Panels: Series vs Parallel Explained

Learn how to read a solar panel data plate the right way. In this video, Todd breaks down every rating you’ll see on a panel — VOC, VMPP, ISC, IMPP, wattage, temperature coefficients, and more — so you can understand exactly what your system is capable of.

Todd breaks down how to read a Victron inverter data plate — including power factor, volts amps, and the difference between peak and continuous load. Learn why a “3000VA” inverter really gives you about 2400 watts of usable power, how load type affects performance, and how to size your inverter safely and accurately for your system.

Todd breaks down the difference between volt-amps and watts, why Victron and many generators use “volts amps” on their spec sheets, and how power factor affects what your system can actually run.

In this video, Chris shares his experience at the Big Beard Battery Solar Clinic, where he installed a powerhouse RV system — featuring 4,300 watts of solar, three 24V 300Ah “The Beast” batteries, and dual Victron 3000W inverters.

Todd walks through every piece of this powerhouse setup — showing how we achieved a true luxury off-grid system that can run three A/Cs during the day and two all night, no hookups required. If you’ve ever dreamed of living off-grid without giving up comfort, this is the setup that proves it’s possible.
