In the video he says the vacuum is supplied by 8 blowers. I wonder if he is referring to 8 electric vacuum pumps instead of blowers. If that's the case, then I don't see 8 vacuum pumps holding up to the same lift a 59blower could perform. Maybe it could compare to the CFM when there's no water in the vacuum hose.
But besides that, it seems like a cool looking setup

Ok, Thought I built the 1st hybrid solar cleaning machine.

No wonder Mike uses 4 flow

To be fair-- Full disclosure:
The 3rd vac is a booster only 50 ft from the wand, and no more than 15o ft total of vac hose.
6 flow minimum for me on all my wands.

I didn't see anything about heat. On the front of the machine it says something about cold water. Lack of heat is the biggest problem with electric truck mounts. Takes an enormous amount of electric power to generate truck mount style heat. Would probably still need a propane or diesel heater.

The problem IS the owners fail to follow safe charging protocols.
Only charge your batteries to 80% to be safe.
IF you charge to 100% and the weather gets hot- the batteries will be unstable as they will basically be Overcharged to over 100%.
The charge level is an estimate and the weather conditions effect that estimate.
On a super charger, it might only take 30 minutes to get from 5% to 80% but 90 minutes to get from 80%-100% as the charge rate drops for safety reason.

I spent alot of money and time to make a heat exchanger what would take the muffer exhaust heat from the small generator that would charge up the batteries. But it failed-- water go into the muffler tail pipes.
decided to shelf that for a bit and went with propane heater for now.

Yeah, I'm sure that 370 kicks ass at 31000rpms, lol. Just imagine the heat it puts out, because 3100rpms puts out embarrassing heat on that model
Still doesn't show what the temp of the water is, but it does show how much water is in the recovery tank. That feature should be applied to all machines, not just truck mounts for it would prevent many problems when the float switch fails
And the 45-60day build time is kinda embarrassing. Reminds me of the Texas and Atlanta garage truck mount builders that did that and nobody got their machine. Those guys need to find an investor to partner with so they can have a dozen or so already made to deliver the product in a reasonable time. I already don't trust them

It’s perfect for you. I think you should look further into this.

Do they install them in trailers?

Solar is a very dilute energy source. I can't imagine that those 4 panels on the roof of the van even make up for 10% of the systems energy during use. And one would need a seriously epic/heavy/very expensive battery bank to get through a small job. I know its a hybrid. I just wonder how much the off grid aspect really supplements operating costs vs the initial investment..

what's an "8 motor pvc tube blower box" ?
I'm with Bryce.
No way in hell solar will power chit .
I'd like to see the floor space it takes up with batteries, lectro mount, waste tank. 8k wt generator (for "long run" time*)
*being the cynical mofo I am...I suspect after the first hour and half long job (IF the batteries last that long) the rest of day's jobs will be running the generator to feed porty vacs.
Unless the van alternator feeds a "fast charger" to get an 80% charge in a 20-30 minute drive to next job, you'll running the gen on every job
..L.T.A.

Which becomes a gas powered truck mount. Still don't know what they are using for heat.

That would make more sense, if they put a serious DC to DC charger off of the van's alternator recharging between jobs. Still the whole idea seems a bit loopy to me. Guys need like 6 to 10 fully charged 100 amp lithium batteries to run their RV air conditioner for one day in the desert. A tm demands serious juice.

I do have expensive battery packs which are charged by my solar panel on the roof of my shop and can also be charge at ev charging stations.
But you are correct, solar not as good as gas. This was a vanity Green wash project. But haven't had to pay for fuel yet on my EV van.

You are corect
you can see the setup in my photos. I could have redesigned to save more space. but this is 1st version.
Probably correct. it won't be my main van.
My van is an EV, so I don't think it has an alternator nor a way to power one. however I can charge my batteries through a 12 volt outlet on the van. nice touch but sorta lame. but all the little bit help.
I like being the 1st:
1st to promote "green healthy cleaning"
1st to have Vortex in my area.
1st to run my Vortex on used vegetable oil
1st to have EV van for carpet cleaning
1st to have Hybrid-solar ETM.

Is "green healthy cleaning" to you an environmental health, physical health, or both of them thing?

what are it's advantages to you, PeeJay?
I'm not anti lectro.
How many hours can you get "better than 370 performance" run time?
and how much charge time for run time?
what I mean is, will 10 hours house current charge time yield 5 hours run time?
