Hello Wrenches,
Recently, while working overseas, we were asked by a welder we employed if
we could make a solar welder for him. So, not wanting to dismiss his request,
my initial thought was to eliminate an inverter and welder for cost and
efficiency reasons and weld directly from a battery
There are DC welders designed for use by off-road enthusiasts that would fit
the bill or maybe give you more ideas.
Good luck!

Hi Tom,
Yes it works great. PV is the perfect set up for welding - it doesn't
matter if you short it out. The modules in the youtube are in parallel, not
series, and that is how I've done it. We have a power trailer set up for
temporary power that works perfectly - it's 9: 195W Suntechs:

Sure you can solar weld! Afterall, some of us have welded from
battery power when we preferred NOT to.
:0) that's the HONK of a Solar Bozo

Leave it to Windy to be about a generation ahead of the rest of us on
all things RE once again. Cheers to Windy:-)
I still own a Battery Weld 2000 from the 90s, which is a MIG machine
that runs on 24 v dc. The limit is the battery. It can blast at over
200 amps, if you have enough battery
You can buy a 24 volt DC MIG welder from ReadyWelder.
