I'm in England, waiting for rain to be turned into household power. I've seen the sun in videos and books. Looks really bright and useful.
-
Common problem with roofing and solar companies, the go out of business to avoid warranty, then start another company different name.
-
I've only been on a 3 kW solar power off grid system for about 30 months, with a 32 Lithium 275 Wh cells. It's is quite a journey to see it function within my control. I did all the work myself while using a smaller solar system to build it with. The panels are used (8 x 360 Watt) ground mounted SunPower. But the biggest reward is knowing I have total control of my electric power.
-
Finally, a comprehensive review of the pros and cons and overall costs associated with a solar system which kept me from obtaining a system! My biggest fear is hail which we can count on every year here in Calgary! And the harsh winters mixed in! Do the panels over the roof keep the attic a lot cooler due to the shade and under panel air circulation?
-
Been on solar for 4 yrs and it still feels great on hot sunny days where my AC is on max and I'm still sending extra power to the grid.
-
A 10 year review? This is unheard of. Well done!
-
I like the idea of solar carport or gazebo for ease of access or ground mount if you are in the county with the space. Also you can go with a small battery and an inexpensive generator for longer duration outage such as hurricane source events etc. Also note that in the USA adding solar increases the value of your house by 4% on average. You are my favorite Da Vinci!

I'm in Brasil (yes with a "S") and I have 8x 340Wp panels and 8x 220Ah batteries. I agree with every single word you said in this video. In my case, The energy my panels produce is more reliable than the energy company. I'm not 100% off grid, but I have most of my house on solar and that part is 24/7 on solar. My energy bill fell 75% off. I intend to keep the house 100% off grid and use the grid only for emergency purposes.
-
Got my panels for 21 years now. They are well above 80% still. Had to replace 1 converter I reused from my very first solar installation 23 years ago. 300 € of maintenance in 21 years. I am going to double the capacity and add a Batterie next year. Never cleaned the panels. It’s so cool!
-
Had mine here in Australia for 11 years and it paid for itself inside 2 years. Since then, I have never had a power bill. It was installed by an electrician friend of mine who was scrupulously honest, thankfully......The rates the power companies buy the generated power from me helped of course.....great video, thanks for sharing.
-
Thank you for this. I appreciate that you have broken everything down into smaller bits. Every video I have watched so far has dumped an overwhelming amount of information without really giving an explanation of the system. Until now I have been left feeling stupid and frustrated. While I will have to watch it again before purchasing a system this video has given me that aha(!) moment to what to do for my situation. Meaning a cabin in the woods soon to be my off grid full-time living space.
-
I found that by delaying the charging of my DC coupled battery until noon in summer, my output increased by 12%. I also found that my 41 panels rated at 13.25 kW could actually produce 15 kW of power. This 15 kW limit was made up of 5 kW going straight from the panel's DC output to my DC coupled battery battery and 10 kW flowing through my 10 kW inverter to my EV, house and the grid.
-
Another great advantage in hot climates is they shade the roof and make cooling the house more efficient just by their presence
-
I've had mine in the UK for 10 years too. Paid for themselves in 6 years, then invested in a Powerwall 2, another great investment which together cost £20k. They contribute 68% toward our total power consumption, which now includes our two electric cars, so no more petrol, or diesel fuel costs either. Best investment ever.
-
I'm finding this a year later, but this is a great video, thank you! Considering solar for our home now, and your calculators are especially appreciated (as I'm sure their logic still generally applies). Thanks again!

Here I am at the end of September, 2022. I'm now in the process of contracting to get a system installed on my roof, and I'm doing last-minute worrying that I've forgotten some aspect. I saw my previous post and your response. Big shot of joy for me.. With more information under my belt, I can comprehend more details on this video. Thank you again. Charley

If your power company has peak billing, I want to point out that you can also install a battery -- no solar panels, just a battery -- and program the battery controller to charge it in the middle of the night and use it in the evenings, to reduce your peak power consumption. The savings per month is smaller, but the initial cost is also smaller.

Oh my goodness! I study electrical engineering and i find your content the best yet seen ever from thousands. PLease continue what you do, please!!
-
Bro, I am very thankful that I found your channel. The info is straight forward and shared in earnest. I will definitely share links to your videos in my circle.😎

Thank you so much for this feedback. This is my first time seeing your channel and you hit on ALL my areas of concern.
