i saw that stupid beetle, all it did was look at me. I've got neem herbs , thanks!

Very helpful thanks

Thanks for posting. Any updates??

Thanks for this video. I’ve been to nurseries talking to professionals that couldn’t address this problem. Sprayed this oil on a few times and bingo problem solved plants looking so healthy!

I'm seriously looking at buying the 430W version.. but looking for some confirmation on the output of the panel. Did it provide the expected output (355W) under expected conditions?

What time did you spray??

Awesome set up sir, im in the process of getting solar panel install. .. I'm just wondering which company did the installation for you?

I’d love to know if there’s an internal fuse for the load output. Ive had only good luck with two epever controllers, but after the recent hurricane close call we had, in Florida, which knocked the roof top mooring light off the boat, i arrived to find the positive and negative load wires contacting each other, with a load warning signal. After correcting the wiring, my load still wont illuminate a small LED. The controllers are cheap enough to replace this malfunctioning unit, but with severe coastal damage it’s not likely Ill be able to visit our boat again soon, and will hate to leave a roof light permanently illuminated, I guess I’ve been spoiled by the lights functioning automatically for the past several years.

Good setup . I would say perfect. We have same system but 6.6 kW.. Yours looks like it already needs a clean . Bloody birds .. For me at this stage battery is simply not worth the cost . As your never going to have it pay for itself within the warranty period.. So huge risk on investment.. My system has cut my power in 1/2 .. ANd that's all I was looking to achieve.. winter rainy days solar is almost useless.. So keep that in mind .. If you get 3 or 4 days of that in a row your battery will not get any charge. Depending on your usage of coarse .. The big advantage of battery is you still have power in blackouts for as long as your battery can last ..

I just added to my original 2kw system using used panels and inverters. I haven't paid for power in years and i am patiently off grid with a 12kw transformer inverter. Australia is a compliance and penalty nanny police state

The solar enthusiasts should begin call it "over-paneling" rather than "redundancy". Redundancy typically implies unused or backup equipment, which is not the case, here. Here, it truly is PV over-powering the charge controller input due to anticipated partial output of the regular-use PV panels' output power. Just today I hooked up another panel that leaves my system at 500% over-paneled that of my controller's nominal capacity. (I'll see next summer how that turns out. I have a fuse to limit my estimate.)

Thank you for posting this, can I ask what concentration of neem oil you used per litre? Thanks again.

Wow that is terrible. I checked the listing AliExpress and you are right, they list PCB, Bus bars and other things that appear to missing from your delivery. You shouldn't have to apologize, it is not a first world problem, it is false advertising problem :). I hope you get a fair resolution. I see a 90 day free return option, is that available to you?

May I know which Jinko Tiger Neo panels model you are using ? 60HL4-(V) 475-500W JKM475-500N-60HL4-(V)-F8C1-EN ?

Do you know if the terminal blocks can be replaced on these? One of mine has fried due to a loose connection. And if so, how do you get them out? Thanks.

12.5kw is to highest I can get on my 15kw system.

Is that $80-$100K lifted, 4wd truck worth it? It’s your money and your choice.

You must be getting close to seeing 10kW in the middle of the day with that setup. I'm in New Zealand and I'm now seeing 6kW peak on 8.5kW of panels split into 2 strings facing NE and NW.

It depends where you live and which Distributor you have. I have 24KW on the roof and am only allowed to export 2.3KW!!! Despite having 40KWh batteries, the low level export can't even eliminate the quarterly connection fees. We live in a semi rural area in a larger properties Subdivision. So....we will disconnect permanently from the Grid by the end of August.

We have the same panels and capacity system , though running 2 x 5kw Goodwe inverters due to 2 phase rural supply , this was installed last week and adds to our old existing 5kw Conergy system ( 12 years old and still purring along ) So 18 kw total , decided this upgrade as our premium feed in tariff finish’s in November for the original system , id be interested to see if the new system lasts as well ( china vs German made , ) , a battery or 2 would be good but we won’t be here long enough to make it worthwhile unfortunately

…well done!…we have a similar setup …13kw of jinko panels all facing north, with a non-hybrid Sungrow 10kw inverter …on a cracker of a winter day she pumps out 40kw for our FIT + covers our consumption…it’s facing a little to the west (at about 330 degrees) so I thought this might affect our morning output but with so many panels, it’s fine …looking forward to seeing what she can do in summer :))

only if of grid , if connected to grid , you just produce free clean power for the telcos

great video Mate!

Looking GOOD Mate!!

Hey man, awesome setup you have. We have a tiny townhouse with a stupid roof so not much room unfortunately. I would love to have gone big like that but only have 3.7kw of panels. Anyway, that sungrow has 2 MPPT inputs right? Do you have your East and West strings connected in Parallel into one of those strings and the North on it's own string? Also, are you on pvoutput? Cheers for the video!

There are usually options, with or without these pcbs and bus bars, looks like you did not pick the right option…

You said it isnt what was advertised ? Are you stupid or something ? Get your money back and name the seller. Sellers like this shouldn't be online. You are way too soft man. Don't make a video about it. Go after the seller, he lied to you.

Thanks for sharing, but could you tell me, did you cut it back at all. My leaves have all gone!

Good work man 👍

Thank so much for posting this. Had the same issue, but now thanks to you sharing my Lilly Pillys are thriving, doubled in size with so much new growth, thanks

Hi, what’s the other knife you’re using?

Calypso beetle and it’s larvae. They are just like a ladybird but bright green in colour.

I’m building one of these, do you have any advice

Thanks, much appreciated info. I will get some neem spray today.

Do you remember if you had leaves turning brown and branches dying as well?

Hey mate - I know you sold the van, but interested in how you mounted to the roof. Did you adhere it direct, or space it off the roof at all?

I BUY THIS PLANT ESPECIALLY FOR MY AUSTRALIAN LEAF INSECTS I HAVE , THEY DONT /ARNT BEETLES OR GRUBS THESE JUST LOOK LIKE A GREEN LEAF AND BLEND IN PERFECTLY, THEY CANT FLY EITHER, BUT THEY DO LOVE THIS PLANT A LOT

Have these (2x 310w) for 2 years now on my boat and they are worth every cent because they aren't cheap to buy. Very tough panels but the junction boxes on mine have sun damage and are a concern, I would recommend the bottom mounted junction boxes. They harvest sunlight like no panel I've had before with a record 4kws produced in a single day compared to the 2.3kws from traditional glass panels which needed frame work to support the weight, These I lay on netting to keep cool on the boats roof having a 5cm air gap for Qld summers. Am atm saving for 2 x 430w panels to run the air-con off a seperate battery bank. Overall I love the low weight, Low profile and high output.

Hi dear i have a same model but bot working can you repair it for me

Hi there, I bought one wind and solar controller ,I think I damage it by connection, the screen become Blank ,could you please tell me where I should check and how? also change? here the video I upload ,I will be appreciate if you help me! th-cam.com/video/P_z8N0hm4KM/w-d-xo.html

Quedo como las weas.., Saludos!

I just donated mine a few week ago. Those things are a lot of fun if you can still find one. Walmart sold them for a few years , But I don't think they sold that well. I was an Assembly Contractor with Walmart and was able to get it with a great discount as a "Backlot Bargain" for $50.00

Thanks for the video. Worked a treat! Cheers.

did the beetle problem come back? i did some research and some say the larvae breed in the soil and spraying the leaves is not effective as they will return? just want to hear from your experience, my lilly pilly are attached by this too. Thanks.

Anyone know whether I can replace worn out 18650's in my old M18 9.0ah with new 21700 cells?

Mine stopp3d working. Where can I get the cells to rebuild my self? It's the 12 HD like that one on video

Thank you very much, it has worked for me

Hi I’ve just got sone of the same neem oil but the instructions are different to what you said. So 6ml per 1 litre of water.. is that correct. Many thanks

Thanks mate! Exactly the issue I have!

Thanks for this. I've just got the neem oil and am starting treatment on my lilly pilly today.
