I remeber back in the 80's here in Europe you still can buy all kind of Made in USA stuff and man, those was a hell of devices. Then the globalist betrayed your country and theres none but crap everywhere Made America great again people

Hi There Are you still doing solar and do you still run this system?

We have Emanuel for the charge controller and we have Pedro for the yard.

Nope. No i dont recal that particular previous episode. Sorry.

Very nice setup

Very nice I used 4/0 tempco welding cables on the 12 crown 235 ah 6v batteries on mine it is 12v 1410 ah .

I like it Stevie .

Nice job scuba steve

vfx 3048e outback inverter has no indicator

Just stumbled upon this, it’s obviously been up awhile. From a professional standard, your quality of install is pretty horrible. Instead of Solar Steve, you should just call yourself DIY Steve. Thee are so many issues with this install I’m not going to bother listing them all, start with installing the batteries directly underneath the inverter is a big no no. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud you for giving it a shot and owning your system, but posting a video like you know what your doing is going to open yourself up to well deserved critical, but your also misleading other people that don’t know any better the wrong way to do things.

Thank you Steve, good video

You wouldn't run cold water on 150 glass in any other application, why would you think that would be safe? Running raw tap water on them will in time deposit enough minerals on the glass so they'll hold more dirt and hold more heat. This is not the way to treat your panels. Deionized water, held at ambient temperatures, is the only right way to do this unless you can squeegee and hand dry.

Hello. I am a home owner in FL about to install a 30 panel array on my shingle roof so I have been doing relentless research and checking out many videos. Flashings is where I am stumped. It seems it is standard practice to use a flashing system that is around 12x12 in which you tuck about half of it underneath the above shingle having to tear into it. Now, I'm saying to myself this is not a good idea to have to break apart shingles at all. I don't get why it's standard to do it in this manner. Maybe I am not understanding it. As it has taken me 4 months to finally get my permit to do this I had purchased 5x7 steel flashings on Amazon at about $50 for 100pack. My purchased system included the L-foot with rails and attachments but no flashing parts. As a way to cut costs and perhaps perform a safer method I noticed these flashings fit nicely horizontally between my shingles and that I could firmly tuck the top of the flashing into the above shingle without tearing it apart and putting it directly underneath it. Also the flashing would not overlap the shingle below. See my photo at this link s26.postimg.cc/4hc1x7hi1/20180410_173143.jpg My proposed plan would be to use a generous amount of sealant on the flashing, fill the hole with sealant, then tighten down the bolt through with the proper washers. Sound crazy? Why not go this simple? Am I on to something or do you think I would be at greater risk of leaks or rotting overtime? I would greatly appreciate your opinion Thanks so much!

It’s called a UGC ( universal grounding clip) but u only use those with the old school 1” mid clamps. The newer ones have a lil tooth that digs into the edge of the panel so the ugc isn’t needed. And u can reuse the (weeb).

You have no flashing on the L foot?.. max 5 years that roof will leak

Hey Solar Steve hows this system holding up after these 8 years or so? You didnt need to use flashings? I'm about to install this on my house in Orlando. I'm a little nervous come Hurricane Season

I know you have solution for that on inplix website. just google 'inplix' and click the PIG :)))

Hey thre solar steve, My name is Steve as well, I just bought a house and we have the same system you show here, I am as well on grid and can change back & fourth, I have ran into a problem whn switching off grid at night I came to find out that the solar is working all over the house but certain outlet's I cant seem to figure this out, They worked before, but now they don't, Like isaid his is all new to me ,,, HELP LOL

Are you using remote monitoring in your Sunny Boy?

TO GET 240 IN THE HOUSE

will 5 kw soler and 2 150 charge controllers and 2 gvfx 3648 wired in opasit phase work with 16 batterys 2 banks

Im using inplix instructions to make it and I do it already :)

Go to inplix page if you'd like to know how to build it. Great solutions for everyone I think

Good video. I found MOST of the information useful. My only issue was the deal with the "chem-trails"......They are vapor trails, and while they do have some exhaust from the turbines, they are predominately ice crystals formed in the upper atmosphere from the hot engine exhaust mixing with moisture and freezing on contact.......We do not see the exhaust "fumes" or smoke from that high up while the aircraft is at cruising altitude......What we are seeing is light reflecting off the ice crystals, and nothing more than that.

is there to be a piece sticking out that far from the roof?

Hey Bud nice video I would like to consult with you on things what's your email.

Thermal Down shock is caused by cold water being applied to hot glass. You are gambling with your very expensive panels and very likely voiding any warranty by the manufacture

Good job sir

Can you give an idea of the cost you have in your system

Is unirac rail UL listed for a ground?

Hi Steve. Lou here. I have pretty much the same system but have built it up one outback piece at a time. ARGGG... SO, I have a question for you and I am debating on adding the rest of the Flexnet pieces/parts to make it a true Flexnet 500 system. Have you only 70 amp breakers used to turn off each of the inverters or are they actually 175 amp breakers. Do you have a manual to the backplane and the ac and dc boxes on each side of the vfx3524 as well as the plastic box on the left side of the inverters for the ac input/output? Oh, I bought one of the MATE3 controllers and the FX-DC dc monitoring interfaces so you can view the system through your home web system to follow what your system is doing at any given time.

Awesome menioned

what type off lightning arrestor is it ac or dc thats a good idea i will like to know

on the DC side what kind of cable? 2 something fine strand copper cable 5:50 ? where can i find that at? thank you. nice setup.

hy...i am not able to understand whether i need some interface between my outback mppt charger and outback inverter/charger to let them communicate with each other during the charging of batteries (inverter/charger charging the batteries from the mains/grid supply), or should i just install them simply without establishing any communication between them. if i need to establish link between the, do i necessarily need to buy the hub or just install the simple communication cable between the ports of inverter/charger and mppt 80 ??

Why go through all the trouble, then put a couple of small crappy batteries?!

Love these off the beaten path finds... thanks for the upload

About 12% efficiency improve!

What about a mister setup on the front edge of panels on a timer? Very little water and water in pipe stored would start off warm thus cooling off panels slowly?

Hi i am new to this but wow your system is so nice and clean looking great job i am really looking forward to seeing the rest of your vids CHEERS

Everything is getting more clear for me now, a lot of reading and digging in it. Thanks for your help.

Yeah!, I have to take a close look to all of your videos because I am buying all the outback hard ware for my off grid solar and you will be very helpful.

why you have a mate , doesn't the charge controller by it self has that tri monitoring doing the same? I ask because I am planing to buy the VFX3524 OutBack Power Inverter with the flex 60 or the 80 one. No one ever talk me about the so called mate...

The system is a "grid-tied" system. It needs the grids power also to work. If the electric company has the power off and is working on power lines, guess what happens to them if your system is producing electricity into the grid? What determines where power is drawn from depends on the supply/demand. The power from the panels is used first, and then if your demand is still more then what your panels are producing, the electric company supplies the balance.

STOP SNIFFLING!

how about giving definate dates? "i planted these 3 wweeks ago" doesnt tell me anything! say, i planted these inmarch 3 weeks aago, or november. nice videos but I DONT KNOW WHEN TO PLANT!

And yes it is best to do it in the evening when it's called up the panels covered or we'll crack you've just had good luck so far

Cory bedell Is right I do a lot of solar panel cleaning and we only use pure water..!! By the way you can damage your panels you should have the Internet looking up if you carry on you could cost yourself a lot of money

How does the system shut off when power goes out? Also, what determines where power is drawn from between the solar system and the electric co. supply?
