The solar panels are now installed on our diy ground mount. It is now time to start wiring them up so they can meet all of our power needs! This solar array will power our off grid farm and shipping container home that we will build ourselves. We are one step closer to becoming energy self reliant. We saved up our money before we moved from Florida and had bought these solar panels so this entire project is being done debt-free!

I absolutely love her confidence. You are the #1 channel on you tube to me!
I look forward to your content! God bless you and your little family ❤
That evergreen tote at the beginning hits different
She makes me laugh, because of how much she makes herself laugh! Catching up on your videos. Liking the Channel, Keep at It!!!
Ok
Might be good idea to put a small rail around the panels to keep the cows away from them. They could do plenty of damage ‼️. Just thinking out loud. Real nice job👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
You guys are way better than HGTV!! They need to take a page out of your videos and REVAMP everything. This is what I expect when watching that channel REAL PEOPLE DOING REAL WORK!! This is far superior than that SCRIPTED CRAP!!
Your willingness to take risks is absolutely inspiring. I always thought I possessed substantial courage, but you guys impress even me! I wish you the very best and the greatest successes.
Great video! I have an at point 13 gallon 1,300 watt 120volt ac water heater which has power and temperature controls being run by my 700 watts worth of solar panels,60amp MPPT and one 100amp hr.12v battle born battery. I have a 1500 watt inverter which can run a chest freezer, fridge and this water heater all at the same time! I set the water heater temperature to max and power setting to low which is 200 watts. By the time I get home from work on a sunny day the battery is 100% charged and the water temperature is 145 degrees which is enough hot water for two showers.
Wow. Watching this video in the future. All the way in 2020. You two have come a long way!!
The aluminum frames of the solar modules are anodized, so you don't have to worry about galvanic corrosion with the steel. Modules are mounted to steel structure by the millions in large solar farms.
SuperStrut makes for a decent mounting system, but it isn't going to hold up in high winds with 8ft spans. You really need some reinforcement.
Love that you guys are equally excited about making your own power!
You are going into detail on your building of this. Thank you for doing it.
This really should be a tv show. Maybe it is. I just found you guys today.
Do you guys do that thing! You handled the solar panel with position.🥰👩🏾🦲😘🤟♥️💕
Just found your channel quit by accident and am enjoying binge watching. Much to my dismay, looks like you’re still in the middle of the build and I’m going to have to vicariously take the journey with you.
Has anyone ever told hubs he looks like Colby from Survivor:Africa ... Especially when he wears that straw hat. Hubba-hubba 😂
You guys are doing an amazing job. Thank god for your grandfather. So much room for you to experiment with your various projects.
Solar Panels yeaaaah!!! No rain , that's awesome , made it just in time, wiring begins. Great job guys.
🤗Way back during the filming of this ....... and now you’ve had millions of views! Way cool!
Great job you guy's, but at this point I have visions of the bull trying to climbing them, you'll have to put electric fencing around them if they do. Xx
woo hoo almost half way through started at 27 now at 16 yeahhhhhhh hugs from Ontario Canada
Such a beautiful couple, I have been binge watching from the beginning.
Teflon tape on the threds will help separate the two metals as well and still allow you to tighten the bolts.
Thats great. I got solar panels about a week ago too for the urban homestead. Its a grid tied system but we are going for a Off Grid system at the homestead in the woods. Solar ☀ is awesome. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Nice job on the frame and installation.
A CHEAP EASY & VERY SMART WAY
TO STOP THE CONTACT OF THE
TWO METALS SPENCER 👍🏼 .......
I hope to have solar panels one day. For now i just have a solar light.
I see what you are saying now. You caught it way quicker than me. The eyes give it away. Makes you wonder if the other one knows yet.
You’re the #1 channel........I love you guys!…
Enjoy your show very very much
I started watching your show in November 2019
I really think your Solar Panels and Barn need to share the same Roof
You have to realign your Barn to face the southern exposure, and get those solar panels on top of the roof, off the ground
The Barn southern exposure side should be the lower side to make removing snow off of the panels easier
Best of luck
Beau is the star of your show
Sincerely
Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana.
I learn so much. Your are a beautiful family.
You are inspiring us!
great idea using innertube
very accurate plans for something like that I found on Avasva
Looks awesome guys! Need to send bear on a mission to take care of the moles haha.
Have you thought about adding wind turbines to offset the power you don't generate when it is extremely cloudy??
Also congrats and best of with the bread in the oven 😁
nice lawn care
🍍...that my friends is a tropical donkey....🍍
interesting to see your solar system come together...
Once you get the panels in place, watch out for the cows/bull rubbing up against them. They like to do that with fences too, some say they are testing it to find the weak spots in the fence.
I've learned so much.
My no 1 channel anyway
The grass is always greener under the septic tank Ha Ha the cows love your pasture.
Lol..not bad for a pair of newbs..Dang those moles..🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼
Galvanic corrosion takes time. Slow it down with di-electric grease.
Yep, add some crease into those connecting points,....rubber will go away fast, dissappeare??/
Greetings from Brazil!
Great roof for a chicken coop. 😂 well done!
Pero este chico sabe de todo!!!!😮
i am impressed by how much spencer knows isure enjoy the videos.
Very nice🙏🙏🙏
Just found your channel and I'm binge-watching - love it! I am wondering how many acres you have?
You’re amazing
What the hell... I love this dream...
Moles! Time to get a .22LR!
They have rat snakes
Nice setup on the panels. Project #2 Fence out the Bull lol
Thank you! Fencing out the bull is definitely a top priority haha
Hi I just started watching your journey and I love it I think you guys are great. And I had one question what brand solar panels and what wattage are they? Any way keep up the hard work you'll get there.
Love y'all's channel, we're waiting on our panels to get here and I'm totally stealing your rack idea. Just had a question as to how you wired your panels?
عمل الطاقه الشمسية رهيب جدا
Great 🤩💖😃
Plastic Washers will work as well.
Crazy how much research you have to do before you even start a project.
Ola .
Boa tarde sou do Brasil .
Proximo a Região serra daMantiqueira..
Achei muito legal a ideia dos conteners ...
Estou tendo algumas ideias sobre isso..
Estou vendo seus primeiros videos para ter boas ideias.
Boa sorte
Obrigad .Tks
you might want to look at also making wind generators. These would be useful for no sun days.
In ne texas there are very few days when solar panels don't produce.
How about a solar powered electric fence around your panels? Just a thought.
Wonder if that would work in Poland I'm not even sure the regulation but I think you may not be completely off the grid in our Country.
use cheap 100 foot roll of galvanized plumbing steel hanging strap and a block of wood the holes are in the strap cut to length . and cover in rubber hose and use any bolts save money and in 50 years you can check it out //lol
Found your channel a couple days ago, and am busy catching up on past videos. It’s time I ask, are these your cows? I am amazed the bull is so friendly to you guys.
I am wondering, whose cows are these?? And who is milking them,...cows has to be milked twice a day??? Just wondering......;o)
@@Eeropolvasti I think they are a family members cows the one who let them build there ? an uncle? Dairy cows need to be milked twice daily to keep them producing milk but beef cows feed their milk to their calves then stop producing just like humans breast feeding.
I love your vlogs. Great y’all are using Tesla solar power. U are the second couple on TH-cam to use. The first couple I saw was Handeeman on TH-cam and they built great Tesla solar panels near their tiny house in AZ as off grid plus using moonson rain to collect in four big rain catchments. Check them out
Loving the show so far, love the off grid power parts the best. I have a question however, Why did you mount the solar panels so close to the ground, considering that you have livestock I mean. Why not 4-5 feet off the ground? love to hear why, thanks!
Great question Michael! The reason why we mounted them there is for the ease of cleaning the solar panels. It’s a smaller system and we want to squeeze as much power out of them as possible and didn’t want to climb up on a roof or up a ladder to clean pollen, dust or snow off of them. We’ll eventually have a fence around them and our home.
I like you people.
hi you too doing brill job like your vids keep good work up lol
Thank you so much! It really helps hearing that!
Nice job, what bran are those solar panel, thanks in advance.
Thank you! They are made by Hanwha.
The moment i started wonderin' where are the animals. Then there they are. Hahaha
With the power pole in front of the barn hosting a yard light and transformer it’s kind of hard to take your solar power struggles seriously. I’m just wondering why you need solar? Is it so you don’t have to rely completely on the grid?
Go stainless bolts my friend.
💟
Where can one find property similar to yours?
👍👍
Do you have to get a permit from your city to install off grid solar?
Double bubble bubble gum with kill Moles.
Them cows don't like jingle bells . Rattle the bells and yell yaah.
Investing in your future!↪️⚖️☮️⚖️↩️™👣
I wonder if you could make a chicken coup under that thing? hmm.
By the way, thank you guys for having a dog, hope it is a rescue.
I just started watching your channel. Want to know why the farmer who owns the cows does not build a fence since it's his responsibility. Those cows coming over all the time would drive me nuts.
rubber gromets
Wondering why you did not install solar tracker so frame follows the sun.
What exact brand are those Solar Panels?
I know more about diy from Avasva handbooks!
fiber washer
i was curious on brand of that panel, its producing great output?
They are Hanwha 235 watt. So far we have no complaints!
@@life.uncontained they are a great panel, so I take iit you re using a MPPT charge control ? I am hoping you will answer this for me. The determination of the angle of the solar panel was determined how? Not being critical, but a ball park would be the same as the latitude of your location. And are they panels completely fix in place or is the angle adjustable?
volume on the music should be close to your voices please.
But, you put a steel bolt through the aluminum frame....
Stainless
@@murray2225 yes steel. stainless doesn't stop galvanic corrosion just rust.
rip plant
LOL. I am going call my channel Walk with History - TH-cams Number ONE channel too and maybe it will bring me the same luck. 🍀 🤘♥️
have you been drinking irish coffe
I’m two years late
I just found them today 5/25/20 lol
I like you new Friends the cow 🐄 and the bulls Oh yes I forgot the bloody donkey.😘👩🏾🦲🥰
Guapa nena k hermosa sonrisa
Spence,
No. Your solar panel mounting scheme will not work to avoid galvanic corrosion. Know why yet?
(Because the bolt itself still makes contact).
I wonder how big a deal it really is though.
Is your home is alone in this feild .
How to get permit for house feild.
Who’s cows?
