15kW Solar Install with Tesla Powerwall 2
Hello "Penrith Solar Centre" I saw that in your channel have some problems. For these problems your channel is not much growing. Not getting much engagement. If you can solve these problems, Your channel will get more engagement. If you can give me permission I can tell to you about these problems. Can I tell here or email? Okay?
Just had Penrith Solar install my system today. I watch this and I understand why the process was so easy and the installation was so organised and seamless. This is an insight on how you run a successful business.
Thanks Jake, very informative
This is actually bs. There’s going to be growth, dirt and other particles on those panels that won’t be taken off only by water. If the water isn’t demineralised water then he fucked up double time.
Why would you use a laser leverler?
Thanks for this. Useful information. You may want to check your listed costs as differ between the COST and SUMMARY sections of the video.
How much was this install?
Can you as the consumer contact Enphase AU and ask for Live Monitoring? Or does my installer need to do it? I have a Enphase system but only just learned about Live monitoring from your chat (thanks for sharing that)
Great timing, as I am about to have a Powerwall installed, and have existing Enphase microinverters, which I want powered during blackout plus lights and power points, with a 3 phase home.
I've tried all these settings & it's till not connecting, we have changed nothing with our WIFI, the system keeps dropping out, really frustrated with this system, the help support is of no use, I need someone to come out & check the system
Great effort from the guy's. They know their stuff and must be fit as and have good knees to do this work. If Penrith Solar was in SA I would definitely get them to do my solar.
The downside to Micro inverters is the long term after sales support issues, say you have 24 on the roof, 2 years later 1 micro inverter dies and needs replacing. Then 3 months later another one dies and so on…the installation company will potentially have a massive after sales support issue to deal with, that’s if they are still around to support their customers.
Enphase is good. That is what we have on our house. However upgrading isn't as simple as he makes it out to be. For example, adding new panels. Turns out we can't just upgrade the 13 panels on the front of the house, even though they are a separate array. The new ones are not compatible with the ones we have on the back. We would need to purchase a completely new system. Not sure I would go this way again.
As a plumber I’m not a fan of heat pumps. They are expensive and complicated. A standard electric HW system is simple and easy to repair. Add the Catch Power unit and you have the best of both worlds. We have an EV and charge it for 6c/kwh from midnight which is hard to beat. Even a solar PV system would struggle to keep up unless it’s a massive 3 phase system. Good video but I’m not sold on heat pumps ✌️
As an aerospace electronics engineer I chose a large 15 kw string inverter system over microinverters for several reasons that mostly track back to reliability and maintenance. 1. Parts fail, less parts fail less. Each microinverter is filled with many parts leading to many failure opportunities. The component count in a few string inverters is far less. 2. Heat kills electronics parts. Microinverter components running on a hot summer roof are often reaching 150 degrees+. String inverters mounted inside a home or garage experience far less thermal stress. 3. To fix something you need access. When a microinverter fails, you are up on the roof disassembling the panel array to get access. The warranty does not cover those labor costs, and they may exceed the cost of the microinverter. My string inverters are far easier to access. 4. Water ingress. Microinverters on a roof will experience all the rain water running under the panels. As seals deteriorate over the years, water ingress will start causing failures. String inverters in a house or garage are sheltered from this. Summary is that I feel string inverters are a superior approach. Your mileage may vary.
A vehicles 12volt can give you a kick,, so even 40 volt is enough to make your hairs stand up,, Am i right or wrong.
They are talking about 40w not 40v
Getting ready to add two PW2's to our existing Enphase 12.5 kWh PV system with 31 IQ8A Inverters for a WHOLE HOUSE backup to include the 3-ton AC.
Awesome video man, getting Tesla Powerwall 2 shortly and you have helped me out immensely. Just a question tho.... does the solar keep charging the Tesla Battery when the Grid Voltage is over voltage? Which I am currently being cut off from feed in tariff as the grid reaches 251 volts. It seems that more and more solar farms in the area are over producing and causing the grid to shut down home solar? Thanks again
Couldn’t have said it better myself this is exactly what we provide. Great work Penrith Solar.
How about the 600mm clearance on the left side of Powerwall as per Standards
So unique that 1/3 of your solar works in backup. Agreed. Love your work Penrith ;)
100% Thanks Mark, great catching up at the event last week!
Something that to my understanding Enphase IQ8 is the only one who can enable is to “charge the Powerwall during blackout if there is sun even if the Powerwall is depleted”. String inverters cannot do this as they always need grid connection or sufficient charge in battery.
@@TurreTuntematon no that’s no accurate.
@@markcavanagh So tell me then how a string inverter based solar systems wakes up the home system if grid is down and battery empty. It will simply not.
Nice work team👌
From this video I don't see a lot of advantage to Micro Inverters if they are expensive.
What if the house roof space doesn't have space for more than 15 panels, are you going to say go to someone?
Can you please do a video of benefits and disadvantages and price comparison of the Tesla powerwall 3 compared to the enphase IQ 5p battery system, I guess two enphase batteries as it is closer to the size of a powerwall 3, is the Tesla powerwall 3 compatible to a enphase micro inverter 3 phase system?
I've heard that Dingo's live in Penrith. Is it true? Maybe just "westies"
True vell described video, only partial loss of production is a big for micro. But, is the micro inverter failure rate 20 times less? I don't think so.
With just 6.6kw and EV, the panel will generate about 13kwh during winter and 28kwh during summer. Most of the generated power will be used for everyday usage and charging EV then there is very little left to charge the battery. How does it make sense to have even one battery financially? or was it for reason other than financial?
Would be interesting to know what makes people go for Enphase vs Tesla Powerwall batteries. I know Enphase has a new battery coming out in early 2025.
I had a heat pump and the compressor blew up. As is was only 3 years old we converted it to an element. Then the coil leaked the refrigerant in the tank which is carcinogenic was in the tank, please be aware oil floats on top of the water we had probably consumed some of it over the years. We only discovered it as brown stuff was coming out the taps years later. So they can be a health hazard.
Aside from the app notices does Tesla send an associated text or e-mail? What would trigger me to look at my phone app?
Buy batteries,while the elites are waiting for better batteries at a better price point. Roll the dice. I did and so did Tesla and now My 21 model Y is in the shop for a dead, main battery replacement under warranty.
You exaggerate about the efficiency of a heat pump.
is there anyone in Brisbane with this level of care and pride in their work? any suggestions? thank uou. edit: ahh springers and MC electrical question answered when I watched it further.
Dude bungs on about paying a day rate. You should be charged by the hr. Way to many installers don't even know what is on the market with inverters. Go online and see people load test systems and yes much cheaper systems and find they stand up.
In July/August 2024 a cookie cutter 6.6kW is less likely to be the best value solution that it was back when they first came to market over 4 years ago. Today’s 450w panels means more roofs are capable of fitting 10kW+ hence the growth in 8 & 10 kW string inverters. Using micro inverters does help with ensuring maximum efficiency but also the “inverter” capacity simply adjusts with each panel fitted which is an under appreciated benefit. I’m near Penrith & personally running 3x 6.6kW systems on 3x 5kW single phase inverters, each on 1 of 3 phases as my distributor allowed our property a maximum of 20kW inverter input balanced across the phases. Even with my big roof the panel ratings in 2019 were typically 315w so that took up all my north & west space (no east roof). We also wanted Tesla Powerwalls installed & they are friendly with single phase inverters which further lead us to our setup. Lastly I knew a single 15kW 3 phase inverter would be no more efficient than 3x 5kW inverters and yet much more expensive to purchase and to replace if faulty out of warranty. Having 3 seperate 6.6kW systems provided triple redundancy and 6 strings to help improve the efficiency of the panels throughout the day. The point I’m making is that 6.6kW string inverter installs have and can still be a great solution in specific situations. Just be aware that panels are now rated to produce nearly 25% more than they did in 2019 when 6.6kW became a thing so don’t settle for 6.6 when your roof can now easily be carrying a 10kW+ array or even significantly more. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Tesla don't allow stickers to be put on their batterys check their labelling guide
What an amazing detailed and helpful video. Thank you
He really was putting the hard sell on those micro inverters
The real problem is rooftop isolators and that is why (too late) the regs have changed. Get rid of the rooftop isolators and you get rid of the problem. And much cheaper than an expensive Enphase system.
Nice one PSC !
Fix stop building systems that connect to them...
QCells, Sunpower, Trina, AIKO...... Have i missed any? 🤣
2cents by 8million homes by average 5kw = 800k average. So a million bucks a year for doing nothing is a rip off. Don’t suger coat it by saying 2c is fuck all.
are LFP batteries allowed to be installed *inside* your house?
You are very misleading. Most panels have diodes that allow them to be isolated when one is shaded so it no longer causes a large power drop. And micro inverters fail a lot and cost a lot to get someone to replace them. It is clear that you are making money from installing these. You also did not talk about optimizers.
I just bought my first one (to be installed soon). The only thing that ticked me off was finding that the handles I needed were not included and cost £200 (UK)!
Unfortunately, they apparently post videos, but don't answer natural questions that us viewers have. Hate that!
Blabla...shade..algorithm..blabla.. They forget something important, all panels are not egal vs shades....depending how there electric circuit is built. Whatever algorithm you got in a chain inverter would solve a shitty panel. So...contrary to their discussion, a chain inverter that work good with shades need many other parameters to be fullfilled. This is NOT the case with a micro inverter.
