This is a video where I show you how I power my Yurt through Solar Panels hooked up to a Lithium battery bank. I’m in no way a professional, but I have had many enquiries on how I set mine up, so I decided to make this video to share. This system is sufficient for me to run all my lights, power my electronics, and even run small appliances, such as an InstaPot, Air Fryer or toaster oven.
It includes information on how I attached the solar panels without drilling holes on the roof, my lithium ion battery bank, how I tie everything together with an MPP Solar Charge Controller / inverter, and what I do when my battery bank runs out of charge.

Don’t get the cheaper kind, make sure it says 3560, especially if fastening flexible solar panels to your yurt. The adhesive and velcro-like fasteners are industrial strength, and have kept my solar panels attached to the roof of my yurt securely through high winds and winter storms.
