Wow! Im very impressed with this system. I like the craftsmanship that was displayed.
true i used to have a small 400 watt array on the roof, I just love the solar, the independence feels so good
Great to see that Avasva has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
I can't believe 379 people watched this before me and haven't commented or rated the video! I love it!
Faccio i miei complimenti al progettista per aver preso in calcolo tutta quella bella OMBRA dai alberi intorno ai pannelli
HAHAHAAA
I congratulate the designer for having calculated all that beautiful shadow from the trees around the panels
HAHAHAAA
When you consider the real cost of fuel it factors out much higher than the metered price. Actual cost of gasoline in the U.S. is probably around $7.00 to $10.00 per gallon. Coal and oil are heavily subsidized to say nothing of the military costs to keep the supply train open or seize resources depending on your analysis.
Nice work. I come from the school of overbuilding, but I would have to say your footings are a little extreme.
+Les Blenkhorn yea i saw that to! them panels will break apart well before them feet come loose lol.
Tax incentive some states can give you back $4/watt. With this amount of power, it can power a big house plus several EVs. So by the end of the year, it will pay back !
Great Job !
solar panels energy pawor project technology very nice information thanks videos,,,,
what a nice work and system! I love it. Here in my shitty country (Holland) this system would be stolen within a week, the solar panels AND the inverters.....
I am glad to see there are still some nice places on earth
your work is amazing. If i had the ground space i would have definetly called you and had an installation. I love the work and thanks for the video
It might easily support, but over what time period? Support should at least last as long as array is intended to be used, if not longer. That may account for the robust construction.
@evo86ya $6.50 dollars each watt, so that depends on the consuption you have the ammount you're gonna spend, so the cost of the project in this video (20,000 watts) was $130,000 aprox but that was just the cost of the panels, you have to add the costs for the wiring, inverters, probably batteries and a few more items, so yeah it's a little expensive.
@FreshKillsJustice the inverters will shut down and not backfeed onto the grid if they sense a cold line. they are built that way.
I am sure you can still buy handbook with all info you need on INPLIX. Just google it.
I just put 20 x 300watt panels 6kw in total with 2000 amps of lithium batteries at 48 volts with a 10KW LS pure sine wave inverter 2 Morning star 100 amp charge controller's best thing I ever did, We have enough power to run without sun for 4 days in a 4 bedroom house in Australia, This cost about $30,000 But I do this for a job so it would be double that retail or more..
HI mate, how much would a 15 kilowatt system cost to install?
$60,000 at least..
+TheMFrelly Australia is a huge rip off when it comes to anything at all. Charge way to much even when factoring in exported products OR products made within Australia it's always overcharging compared to any other places in the world, after converting currency difference obviously, for zero reason every single thing priced higher than it should be.
TheMFrelly - you paid $30k aud for that. mate got ripped off hard.
After four years how is the lithium battery bank holding up?
We have a backup generator that runs on LP gas. It is required to have an automatic disconnect switch that drops the generator offline when it senses the utility company power coming back on. This is for the safety of workers. Does this type of solar system also have such requirements, especially considering that you are ostensibly also selling power back into the grid?
Not sure what the payment regime is where you are, but they don't pay you half as much as you pay them for the same amount of power where I live.
Also, if you export power to the grid, you need a bit more than just a good sine wave inverter as it has to synchronise to the grid as well.
One Pump @ 10 Hp would require 7,457 watts. $1 per watt is about the cheapest you can buy solar, plus the wires, inverter, etc. Cost would be $10,000, and require at least 1,000 square feet, or about a 20 x 50 foot area.
With that said, check the motor performance, it probably consumes less power than the rated horsepower. I'm assuming it runs steady for 8 hours. You might use an amp meter (it just temporarily clamps around the wire) check the power usage while running.
how much this 20 kwh system would cost on a commercial roof on grid
and what kind of system is good system in los angeles ca
Love these for mobile/portable/emergency/backwoods applications where they clearly show their value. But as a practical matter for fixed operation where mains power is readily available, just how-long is the payback period? Where is the tipping point in Watts where the cost is worth the wait for the break-even point, taking into account ALL costs to purchase and install hardware, replace batteries, and maintenance? Tax 'credits' be damned. A 100% tax offset over years would be much better.
Solar like other renewables 'can' be expensive. But renewables can also be installed cheaply - depending on how much power you want to produce.
It's not always about the money. Let's face it if everyone replying to this video had megabucks, would you not like a system like this? Too much is made of "how renewables are to save money" (same as electric cars).
A big part for some people is the reduction in CO2. Nissan advertise their leaf as 'Zero Emissions', not 'Saves You Money'. Governments are committed to trying to reduce CO2. It seems people are more interested in their own personal wallets and not what kind of world they are leaving for their children/grandchildren.
My modest 3.7kW wind solar system will probably never payback what it cost me and it doesn't totally remove my reliance on grid power. But has it reduced my Carbon footprint AND grid powered bills? Yes.
Christoffer J For shipping, fabrication etc it's 70g CO2 per kWh for solar panel against 110g CO2 Kwh for the others energy in France, this country produce 74% of the energy with nuclear wich produce 90g/kwh, for the others european countries it's 480g/kWh and usa around 500g/kWh. For the wind turbine it's around 60g/kWh.
So maybe his footprint will be more important because it's not a big installation, but either way it will be better than the energy produced by his country, wich is more Co2 or more radioactive.
U have structure design sir
Plz provide me
I have something similar, same amount of watts, except I went with moving mounts to track the sun for max efficiency
@joejoemorgan depends on the penels you use, sunpower and yingly are the most reliable ones wit up to 90%
I really want solar next to my yard now.. but what solar is the best to use and how many should I get..
Your domain is not active. Pl. check and make it active to understand better about your product.
Is it possible 20kw Panels Array in single Collam.
as its DC currant i guess it would of been better if the inverters was where the panels was then run the AC cable to the Utility box, as you would of needed some big cables to take 2x10KV of DC currant to the inverters, i would of thought as you should lose a lot of power from the panels to the inverters (still nice 9.7KV per inverter, they are very big as well never seen ones like that before)
can solar power run 10 hp hayward pumps for our swimming pool for at least 8 hours per day? if so how much will it cost and the total area needed to install the solar panels?
Hi. Do you mean that a 4-5 kW DC system would be fully sufficient for a small 100-120 m2 family house? For lighting, all household devices, heating and cooling? And that the cost of it can be up to 30 000 USD?
What an inspiring video! I'm only installing 5 kw, 20 kw is amazing! What is that music?
Nice editing..
heh i had to lol at the sonotube rings at the tops of the holes.
What is the average maintenance cost for it? I mean how regularly do you need to replace the batteries. Does the cost ($50,000) include storage and inverter system as well?
How much did this system cost you? Is this enough to power your home?
What is the name of this music in the back ground. It is absolutely beautiful...
NICE!! did the solar panels survive this week's storm?
Assuming the a 200W PV panel cost $400 USD in buck.
Using the solar formula sizing, it would take an estimated 30 200W solar panel for a 20 kwh system. $12000 EXCLUDING inverter, charge controller, solar structure, solar cable, electrical housing, installation fee and GST.
you can use inplix instructions to build it yourself guys.
Not here in the Philippines. ^_^ There is no 'connection'. For our situation it is either pay to run a power line about 1/2 mile or put in a 'stand alone' solar/wind system. The system is way cheaper than 1/2 mile of poles and lines and then paying an electric company for the rest of our lives or until the grid goes down, whichever comes first. When we are finished, the only connection we will have with the world will be satellite internet/phone, and foot traffic to the nearest road. ^_^
we have a project in mexico and it's 300kw, i don't know why the cost there is around "$250/watt.
Sektor in the future !
How much power do you average with the 20k system? I was told they were about 70-80% efficient.
is this one off of lake brandt rd? if so I go buy it everyday and would like to get a closer look
@ExtendEnergy When you say "20 kw dc rated system" Is that 20 kw per day or hour? Or similar?
What a shame the costs are so high...very out of reach for those who would most benefit from the technology. Does anyone know if there charitable endeavors where this technology is being donated to those in need? I dread hearing about the senior citizens who die every year because they had their power shut off in extreme weather conditions.
Dont get me wrong, I like solar, but this system will have to work very hard just to make up for the forward energy used in the fabrication of components and that used in the installation process.
True...welcome to America...the land of the free....lol. We are going to be building our farm with ZERO government interference or even high taxes.
Awesome
Can anyone tell me how many KW you can get out of a 1 acre flat land in California
Evidently Extend Energy, LLC of Greensboro, NC., the people who put this in are out of business. Their website is down and Number is disconnected.
How much will this cost ?
@VayMasters Yes, 20 kw an hour.
how much would a10kilowatt charge controler.
I just bought (10) 240 volt panels for 180 USD a piece. You just have to look. Thats 75 cents a watt
cool!
@Suproctologo I just installed my 20kw for $50,000. or $2.50 a watt.
interested , we need this type of plant in the Philippines. How much would it cost
I'm no engineer but those clamps around the round pole look inadequate - I would think that a gust of wind under or on top the panels would put pressure on the panels causing the clamps to slip and therefore changing the tilt of the panels.
I don't like it because it's not Sun-tracking. the efficiency is much reduced. I have my own system , I can tell. Good luck anyway.
Can u please share the mechanism of automatic sun tracking..thanks in advance
I'll bet yours isn't a 20kw system. Do you know how many sub-arrays and trackers it would take to get this many panels set up to track?? Sometimes it's just better to add more panels than deal with all those separate arrays and buy trackers for them.
$6.50/W even after rebate?
``Source?`` you can not find thet on internet...
What the cost to install 20kw pv...?
A general rule of thumb, installed solar will cost you around $4 to $6 per watt installed from a local contractor. It depends on how hard it will be to do the job, how tall roof is, the type of inverter, etc. A system with a string inverter like a Fronius will be about half the cost of the micro inverter like Enphase. But if you have shading issues from trees, chimneys, or phone poles, the micro inverter may be necessary. Many roofers turned solar experts use only micro inverters because there is very little design work required, but it does cost more for the parts to do the job that way. Also most micro inverters like Enphase require the use of the more expensive 60 cell panels, as they can't be used with the cheaper 72 cell panels because of voltage limitations. DIY you can buy the parts and do it yourself for $1.50 to $2.00. I've done several. My last one was $1.00 /watt for a 15KW DC array with an 8k watt string inverter, it generates 20Megawatt AC yearly. It was bid at $68,000, I did it myself for $15,000. Look up the pvwatts web site to model the system, check your average daylight hours per day. Also google 'oversize solar' and 'bigger is better' to read about oversizing the panels to the inverter. The secret is to spend more money on the panels and less on the inverter, the panels output the maximum power only a few percent of the time, also the output declines over time, but more panels will output more power the rest of the time. Instead of spending $5k on an inverter, spend $3k and put in another 10 panels at $200 each, you will have a much more cost effective system.
thanks for value info..
I certainly WILL buy my own "stuff". What does that have to do with me wishing the costs weren't prohibitive for the needy? Your asinine response doesn't make sense, but then asinine people don't have to.
@joejoemorgan and it included everything. I will post a video later today showing my home bullt system.
$120,000?
"For the money that man give it can be build 5 time more powerful system."
Source?
4-5 homes? With a 19% power factor, it's more like 1 home.
Too close to the ground but otherwise a nice install.
@rceres6 The song is breathe by Taylor Swift :)
Look, this stuff still requires an ~30% govt subsidy just to reduce the cost of entry, and that is still with a prohibitive payback period. If it were actually competitive now it would not require a subsidy!
And then imagine having a solar array in the plains area and places like Texas with LOTS of sun- where extreme wind loads, and more significantly, HAIL is the norm!
Appropriate technologies are more attractive.
Just use InpliX instructions. you will make it. its so easy
@ExtendEnergy I use 20kw all by myself.
Hello where you spend 20kw energy ?
Going to china to buy panels, cost 1/3 of that in the USA
so you drive around in a clunker and live in a shack? i mean if you have a nice car or house it might get vandalized...
@hobbyguy you have gun laws?
for home mini budjet rs 49000 only
Maroc géniale
I think you can see some good advices on Avasva solutions.
To give a money for this i must be a MADE MAN !!!!!
For the money that man give it can be build 5 time more powerful system.....
Not to get 20 Kw/h TO GET 100 Kw/h !!!!
And it can be used over entire winter to be totally independent for heat or electricity from a state ....
>>>>>>> I`AM NOT JOKING
another example of general overkill for a greener world ... probable pv cells power mcmansion with huge ac pumping , even when nobodies home .. oh well atleast you'll get you tax write-off.
Trash the hate.
You have no clue what this application is powering.
but having a system that produces more power than the owner uses literally pays for itself in the form of a periodic check from the power company for the extra power that the solar array is putting back into the grid. plus the inverters are pretty much always running at full load which is usually more efficient than partial load.
@leexgx
th-cam.com/video/bgtiMHU9dYc/w-d-xo.html (last 1 min of the video the Inverters are on the back of the framework)
120K It's ridiculous.
and the electric company makes money form your investment if u PAY to rig it to their grid.
@hobbyguy So in Holland, if you buy a gun, that makes you a criminal, an armed criminal. Then I need to learn Martial Arts like Karate and Judo to defend myself against you, an armed criminal.......to quote USA's Rodney King "Can't we all just get along".
@PirateSygnal taylor swift breathe feat collie calbot
I bought instruction from inplix and I built it very cheap.
I think that music made my ears bleed.
That's not true at all. In fact the power company pay you when you feed the Gird. They have to by law. Go get informed instead of just spewing words.
