I enjoyed reading through it.
This must be the most idiotic project I've seen so far - and I saw a lot of idiotic homebuilds in Russia.
Something to ponder:
- this guy used 35 2" x 2" solar panels (or 0.05m x 0.05m).
- in one of the best places to use it, that is desert SW USA, near the border, one can get 1kW/sq.meter of solar radiation.
- a typical efficiency of cheap solar panels is about 5-7%; we can assume 10% for enjoyment.
- all panels together would yield us 35*0.05*0.05*1*0.1 = 8.75W.
- we will ignore the efficiency of the charge controller he used, and assume it was 100%.
I can pretty much assure you that the idle power draw of the 410W continuous inverter this guy used is higher than that. So he'll be draining his 12V battery even with the box sitting on the side of the road in Yuma, Arizona, tilted towards the Sun, at noon in Summer.
