Matt’s channel
TH-cam sparkies have fallen off big time, it’s only you that posts consistently now, and Adam . Keep it up, great content ! Thank you Bundy!!
yeah nagy disappeared up his own arse
@@madgebishop5409 nagy said he's coming back
A lot jumped on the bandwagon. Which was good, for a while. But domestic stuff is pretty boring and repetitive, unless you're doing really high-end stuff. You can only watch so many CU changes.
@@madgebishop5409prob just busy doing actual work 😂
Just the best channel of its type. Everything is clearly explained and always interesting
As if you did a full days work ! I’m impressed , great video mate, Matt seems like a sound bloke
Used to do Solar, Turbine, Biomass heating, Ground source and Solar thermal years ago. Bloody hard work. Stay away from it in the winter if you can. Horrible on scaffold working in dark in wind, sleet and rain
i have watched a far few artisan solar installs and know one thing
you need plenty of all weather UV rated silicone , boxes of the stuff
So much easier to do the bracket fixing in Scotland, where all roofs are solid sheeted in ply or OSB, before felt covering.
@@gordonmackenzie4512 but many builders on the islands nail every tile or the hangers/clips on every tile. While most regs it's minimum every 3rd tile that needs to be fixed, and with every tile fixed makes lifting them to put the bracket in place makes it a bit of a chore
Good luck doing it on my roof, which is very exposed to wind. I screwed EVERY tile.
Tile fitting regulations in England make retrofiting solar so much easier. Also in the islands of Scotland many builders will nail every tile, but then when we get our regular 80 to 100mph+ winds tiles don't fly of the roof through your car windscreen
Great install dude.
Great to see you learn from Matt and later see you install your own solar on the works unit and may be the House
I don't see any solar installers laughing 😜 that's a very tidy looking battery stack
Brilliant video glad your getting into solar.
Interesting insight. that battery and inverter looked well thought out looks good too
I was thinking the same. This system is really well designed. Makes installation much easier and it looks terrific.
My sparkies did a great job fitting mine and it looks good but the ecoflow systems looks mint
Hold up a bracket with 10 holes: "Here's the bracket. It's got 8 holes"
Live and Neutral with DC output? Have you fitted micro Inverters? If not should it not be +ve and -ve? 🙂
Ay Nic your looking well mate . Still talking drivll but really intresting vid and you had a good chap to work with ... nice one nic thanks for keep smashing out the top quolity stuff for sparks.
Awesome Nick. Nice move into solar.
Haven’t seen a video in a while but your looking well nick.
15 year warranty if their dont go bankrupt in 3 years
Mine have a 25 year warrantee to be still above 80%. Been on 3 years now all good. Company that put them up are still going strong, too.
Back to work tomorrow. Time for one more video before bed
lol
Typical solar panel efficiencies ranges from 15% to 23%for residential systems while more costly solar panel systems can be as high as 40% to 50%.
Monocrystalline solar panels are the most common type and considered to be the best option available, followed by polycrystalline and thin-film solar panels.
Extremely hot climates can also reduce efficiency with the ideal panel temperature being around 25°C (77°F).
Solar panel efficiency, the rate at which sunlight converts to electricity, varies between 15% and 23% for typical home systems. However, several key factors affect this number, including panel type, level of sunlight, and temperature.
Panel type: Monocrystalline panels are most efficient solar panels (20-23%), followed by polycrystalline (15-18%) and thin-film (10-13%). For example, the Maxeon 7 solar panel is one of the most powerful, achieving an efficiency of 24.1% in realistic rooftop settings.
Sunlight: More sunshine and optimal solar panel angle and direction increase efficiency.
Temperature: Hotter climates can slightly reduce efficiency (ideal temperature is around 25°C).
We recommend getting solar panels that have at least 20% and above. The best solar panels usually also have the best efficiency ratings.
For instance, monocrystalline solar panels have the highest efficiency when it comes to the efficiency of the different solar panel types. On the other hand, polycrystalline solar panels have a slightly lower efficiency rate, while thin-film solar panels are efficient but degrade faster than the other two types.
Solar panel efficiency per type
Type of solar panel Efficiency (%)
Monocrystalline 17-24%
Polycrystalline 12-17%
Thin-film 7-12%
4.7MWh from my 5.7kWp array so far this year. What is your point about the panel efficiency?
Some work better in shaded light and in cloudy days, too. Mine are split panels, so if one panel is only 1/2 in shadow, it hardly makes any difference to power output. So long as you keep them clean.
Aesome job fellas 🙌💪
Looks impressive nick 👏, look forward to next vid 👌, be interested in what system cost just materials
When you try the Amazon special mask on, you look like Chris Pratt :D Nice videa - the Ecoflow systems looks like Apple designed it - lovely. I'm very happy with my GivEnergy system and the integration with smart systems it gives me. Knowing what I know now. I'd like a larger inverter than 5kw and perhaps another battery. The latter can be solved later
It’s the future Nick!
Great video Nick mate
A sparky with a broom? 😮🤣
Great video Nick
Every tile should be nailed (as per BS 5534). That roof was a bodged job.
I don’t know English building regs, but in Scotland they should have 2 aluminium nails plus 1 clip.
You don't know when the roof was installed. Stop looking for things to criticise
@@BillyGold007 your forgetting that every council changes regulations to "suit" their area
@@HootMaRoot A roofer who doesn't nail every tile is a cowboy bodger
Matt looks like the 'why you coming fass' guy
Pretty shocked solar cables are not fully enclosed throughout the roof space an we have to stick a warning on conduit as the dc voltage is dangerous as it can be mistaken for antenna cables
i thought new regs were that batteries werent allowed in any sapce connected to the house. if this was a detatched garage then fine but as its under a bedroom i didnt think it was allowed? or is it that they just arent allowed in lofts any more due to risk of them falling?

Does it include the soffits and facias? Can you you give me a quote Nick? What’s that 10k but you get free solar and battery included 😂
Nice 1 nick brilliant
Curious how much that ecoflow battery system costs.. or at least a ball park as i'm quite insterested in getting a battery only system
Purpose made bits from who Nick?! 😂
holding that "mic" up next to your face, and moving it a fair bit fella o.0 some motor skills working on in the back of your mind ;)
I take it they don't use the fire of the flue you took out?
whaats the red mark pen you use mate?
Update Nick. I’ve ordered GivEnergy battery, inverter, Ev charger and solar locally. Getting installed 11,12 September. Sadly you are an aeroplane flight away from me, as we discussed. Great video content 😊
You should consider put some form of sprinkler system over them to cool them, cause when they get too hot they lose efficiency.
I have seen various things that say that and people tend to agree with it.
So what you save in leccy, you spend on water?
I have no head for heights, will never do this, give me 415 at a sensible height
what snickers pants are they bud ?
Mate I did you not put and adverts on this video? Will you not make any money off this one? Or was I just lucky
Finally 😅
🤣🤣🤣
Do you not use micro inverters in the UK?
We do but there wasn't any shadow so not needed here. The installers I spoke to were of the view of 'more things to go wrong' I don't necessarily agree with that but we do have optimisers for shaded areas
Bit late to the party as party is over ( no money in it )
Do u have to have the pananls of u whont battery storeige
Jesus
No PPE
Probably no RAMS
What a joke !
Waste of time I’ve invested in three Guinea pigs on wheels to power my lighting 😮
What warranty comes with those ?!
@@lordgeeker1138 guaranteed for life or a million miles ,👍
SOLAR is only 40% efficient on Uk Roofs . And thats in the summer time , Winter time they are 20% efficient, Its a waste of time ,
Not sure what panels you’re on about but my solar install generates more than I use by a decent amount. The key is to have a solar battery so you can store the energy as feed in tariffs aren’t great. Solar certainly IS worth it! Where have you got your figures from?
