Installing the rest of our solar panels. Finishing up the installation of our solar power system.

I like the way you explained every part of the installation- it’s a lot easier and educative.
I hope to master how to install myself..

Good day sir, do you use a separate charge controller on it?

Meant to say this before but GAS OVEN as well

Hello Evan

What is everybody's outlook for the solar panel market in N.A. come 2024? What is your favourite large cap solar company?

Great video Evan. Were the rails the 40 or the 60mm? and if you had to do it again, would you use the same size considering the ease of installation of the modules and wiring. Thank you

My question is base on the exterior and interior part. What is meaning of dc in the solar panel and it is usefulness?,what is the meaning of AC in the solar battery and the controller of the solar energy?

Great video! I'm curious on why you didn't place the panels on a ground array? Seems you have plenty of land and I hear ground arrays are easier to maintain. I'm going solar but don't have the land for a ground array. It's a no cost money project for me, the install and materials are covered by the solar company with lifetime maintenance. Where I live in Gloucester, Ma our city has a power co-op with two giant wind turbines which supplements the city's power use and is passed on to the residents. The system I'll have (16 panels) on average should produce 120% more than my avg. yearly use.

I'm happy to see that you load your own freedom seeds on a blue press.

Dear Sir,
Place the solar panel vertically or horizontally

I am looking at installing a similar system at my cottage. One question...can I use my Honda .2 kw generator at 110v, to recharge the battery bank when utility power and solar power are down? Does the "backup to the backup" need to be 220v or is 110v at only 2000 watt workable?

if this man say "ruff" one more time

What about lightning protection?

Great job dude, the whole thing looks awesome!

👍👍👍👍👍👌Totally awesome installation and results great job!!!

Living in the UK I actually can't remember the last time I experienced a power cut seems like it's a common thing over the pond

“A backup for the backup”. Now you’re speaking my language!

Evan. Curious to know how you're going to keep snow off the panels. Knowing you I'm sure you have it figured out. Great job!

"....your cloudy days, and your partly cloudy days" (and the inevitable "dust filter" on the panels that you didn't "get around to" washing this week) I always enjoy your content! Y'all are true "go-getters!" (meant as a compliment, fer sure)

Im amazed and flabbergasted at your ability to just walk all over your roofing without a safety harness or sliding...❤❤❤

In the wrap up video can you also explain the part about selling kWh back to your power company? What do they pay you per kWh? I’m interested in how your situation differs from mine

What about a followup on the tear down of the double wide trailer. hopefully that will take care of that problem with drug deals. I was thinking about maybe using the trailer frame for a hay wagon of some sort js

Well done Evan
Another excellent video

You can do everything and anything. Wish all men were like that. Your knowledge is impressive.

Great job.very nice.

Great job there Evan

Awesome job Evan. I’m impressed with the knowledge of installation you have. You saved money by doing it yourself. I like you explaining every step of what you are doing and the reason for it. Since you have been on your homestead, it has been more and more improvements that will benefit you and Rebekah for years to come. Your time and hard work will and is paying off. Very good job Evan and thanks for sharing.

How much power in % do you make when there is no sunshine.

Great job❣️Knee pads? Eye protection?

That "sealant" appears to be butyl. It is frequently used to seal around windows and other openings in campers and mobile homes and many other uses. You can get it in caulk tubes or in rubbery tape form like that on the back of those brackets, that I'm familiar with. There may be others. It is superior to silicone sealant IMO.

If the railing is visible from the ground, you could just paint the railings black to match the roof.

JudithB Looks really great!!! I am slowly checking off my projects but doesnt look like I will be able to pay for some thiings this year. Once I finish all this, plan to work on water storage!! Our normal drought time is from mid July almost to Oct and I have everything to run drip irrigation in the main garden. Little steps!!!

Evan what happens when it snows are there heat strands or some sort of defrost method on those panels?

Wow your electricity consumption is massive. Is that down to air conditioning ? Would that be average in US ?

I am not sure if you know this. Coiling DC wires in a coil is not good. Those solar panel wires should not be coiled. It causes resistance, magnetic field and should not be done. Its a magnetitic field that is created. If you have to coil them then do a small coil then a medium coil then a larger coil so they do not have the same size of coil and have enough room so a magnetic field can not be created. See all the voltage is getting more and more with each panel so the last coils will have a much stronger magnetic field and can increase odds of a fire at worse and voltage, amperage loss at best. 1 coil is acceptable anything more the same size needs to be changed.

Did you have to buy any special tools?

How hard was it to get the power company on board to by the power back?

Did you need to put one of the rapid shutdown modules on each panel?

Evan, when do you anticipate your break even point? You're spending $$$ on this system so what is the payoff? How much money will you expect to make? Thanks.

Not only saving money on electric now but it’s also a hedge against inflation with increasing electricity prices

Very nice job as usual. One question that I have is does it affect your homeowner's insurance? I don't know for a fact, but I have heard that your rate might increase with solar.

Either way you built a very nice setup.

What does all These Panels cost you?

Looks like nice setup and insta😂ll. Noticed Pete can adjust for seasonal light yours looks to be optimal for summer. How long do the panels last discounting possible hail and storm damage.

👍

Another great job Evan. You’ve got this!

Question: what is the life expectancy of a solar panel with normal use. Looks like a very good job with the installation. Good luck with long life for the Solar system that you installed...💝

“Mounted to the woof” Sorry it’s quite funny how you say roof

Superb job Evan always a pleasure to watch you work, great channel.

Super job!
