I think I reported all of them. I just hope that TH-cam removes the comments and suspends the account. Fellow viewers, lets do our part and keep reporting these scammers.
@@spazzattack1188 thanks! We reported a bunch too, but wow there are a lot!
Oh...why do people have to go and try to ruin a good thing. I will keep watching and commenting every Blues Moon to impersonators or the real Greg and Katie.
That was easy for me to figure out that’s why I didn’t respond to it.
We all knew it wasn’t y’all! No worries, but everybody needs 2 report this! Great vid, guys! U have helped me tremendously on my solar decisions! Thanx 4 the link! 👌👍
Man! I love you guys! It's like watching two best friends struggling together to accomplish whatever needs to be done, no matter what. It's awesome😀😀!
As someone who is going to be going down the DIY solar pathway soon I appreciate this video .
15.3kW system in our home, 48V as well. Hasn't let us down yet and energy prices have gone up since the install. Glad we did it. Videos of the system on our channel.
I see what you did there. 🤣🤣
Youre a lucky man in a lot of ways
We have a 5.6 kw of solar panels on our house, 6kw inverter and 4.6 kw Battery, it’s helping us out a lot with rising energy costs in the UK. We are connected to the grid for both gas and electric, we sell back the power we can’t use to the the grid. The last 2 months our every costs have been less than £15 a month.
I love your smile Katie❤.Also, Greg is like little HULK, I like his work.
I love watching the way the two of you are working together!
Great stuff, as always
So excited for you two!! Congratulations and enjoy power in the house!! 🎉
Love your channel-you two work well together!
Congrats on the power ! Sweet lil puppy !
That's amazing, what a fantastic job Guys. Well Done.
I can so relate! The complicated stuff goes well and the easy stuff (I hate cement board) takes so much time. Great work you two!!
Way to go you two. Keep it real!
AWESOME CONGRATS!
Beautiful pup
Juniper is adorable
Love your videos. Its really a feel good channel for me.
You and your lovely assistant did a great job. You've come so far. Your home is looking amazing. Can't wait to see the exterior when completed.
Katie is amazing!!!! Great job hooking up everything
⚡️⚡️…a real upgrade and it is a critical game changer! 😎👍
Looks pretty nice. 😊 wish this stuff would have been available when we built our house.
I was grunting the whole time!
You'r good, like to watch you and enjoy to see you working on your land. Felicitation for your new energy system .
Hi guy! So … very happy for you guy’s and your knew solar. I can’t wait to see how this works. 🙏🏻🙏🏻Blessings
Congratulation both of you,you are doing a fantastic job on you're house and you will see when everything is installed with lights,and water and heat that living is getting more relaxed and confy. You are such an inspiration for lots of young people( couples). Blessing to you both.
Congratz!!! Nothing better than making your own power!!!
I had a 9.9 kw system for my house on the ocean but sold that house and never recouped the initial expenditure. You are doing it right in my book. Start small and manageable then grow as you need to. Nice yard of fowls in that pen. Glad you had success!
Great job team
Be well be safe
Howdy have a great weekend ! Always keep my eye on y’all !
Oh yeah, 50,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!!! Congratulations!!!!
Congradulation you two,well deserved ,love yeah & enjoy you also with your effers,
So happy for you guys, My grand daughter was watching with me and said Grandpa they are nice people. Stay happy healthy and safe.
Another great video as usual. Lugging the batteries didin't look like fun. Love seeing the new dog.
Katie you were doing so well digging that cable up. then Greg had to come and show off,but I am happy for you having power in your home
😂
You go Girl! You're strong.
I am liking your channel and your do it yourself attitude.
Good job !!!👍💪💪
Yay for power!!! 😁👏🏻❤️
Great video Greg and Katie
That's awesome 👌
Blessing to you too it's very nice to see a couple working together to fulfill their dream I live off grid and St Johns Arizona. Unfortunately I don't have the trees that you have which really upsets me but that is life I would love to be able to mill my own lumber
Very happy for you guys. Thanks for this video. I ordered mine today.
Hey looks amazing. Congrats on your new power toy. Hope the animals are okay with that bear. Thanks for sharing
The puppy was upset she was locked inside while I was yelling, but otherwise they all stay in the fence and bark at any sound. We let them bark for a little bit before stopping them. We havent seen the bear again
That looks great!
looks good enough to stay there.
Congrats on 50 k subscribers!
Thanks 😁
Keep the good work Guapa.
Little Juniper is so darn cute! I find myself looking for her in the background of your videos. Keep up the hard work Greg and Katie.
Thank you for this video. I wanted something like this but didn't know if I should. You converted me. 💯 Glad you are happy with it. I too follow Will Prouse but couldn't find his review. He is my go to person for anything solar. Thank you for the link to the system. I will be ordering soon. Stay strong, safe and healthy ☮️🙏☯️
Great video guys , Doing so well , Can you do a short video detailing more of the solar system , re solar panels and battery's , costs etc .. That would be very helpful
Ya'll should of used your nice bucket on the tractor
Power!!!
Always look forward to your smile Kattie.
That looks like a great solar system guys ,going to the link..⚡⚡⚡😇
I'm binge watching you today. I just watched the worst day in off grid living. Moving the sistren
The big fight scene. Lol you two crack me up.
I know I’m commenting a lot. Enjoying watching the struggle. 😁 Suggestion, try sliding a pole through the straps on a load like those batteries. Makes it easier to walk with it. Cracked me up on digging up the old power line. Reminds me of my wife and I. “So not fair!” comment has come up often around here. 😅
My wife and I got a big laugh at your blue heeler chewing the box. Our blue heeler is three and still loves to destroy cardboard.
Wow, I really like the Sungold power Unit! Also, how great is to be a carpenter and, understand plumbing and electrical work, A all round, builder guy! How you guys get internet when you guys are in the forest and in the middle on nowhere?........... You guys are absolutely right!
We have starlink internet
Thats a Voltronics unit. Same as the MPP LV6548. Parallel two of them for 240V. Your a damn strong girl to handle that heavy battery! Congrats!
i love the "if it comes in ready to assemble packs I'm OK" comment by Katie
Power in the house
We just installed a dual EG 6500 EX system for 240 split phase for the house we're building. We bought 2 EG4 Powerlife batteries so we've got a 13kw system with 11kwh storage. Found some CanadianSolar 445 Watt bifacial panels from SanTan Solar in Arizona and got a dozen of those. Now we've got to clear the top of a hill for our solar array. It's a lot of work, but worth it when you can generate all the power you need for yourself.
It will be amazing when it's all hooked up
You guys are just the best. Katy you are seriously strong, Greg you are too dude haha
Otra cosa más que es muy importante . saludos desde la sierra de Madrid España
first time I've seen hydraulic crimping tool / man the stuff I learn here
Super couple😃
thats cool yea all built your lipo 4 battery bank
WONDERFUL!!! 😎
Messages won’t send😂😂
@@mlutke4067 This is a common scam on TH-cam. It is a FAKE account and they will ask your for money for shipping. DON'T DO IT!!!!!!
Self sufficient.
Excellent job y’all. So happy your installation was a success. Solar Power yay!! Enjoy,& stay safe out there. Beware of the 🐻💯❤️👏🏾😀🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
It's a good thing Katy's strong
Hej from Germany, Greg - ist there something you can`t do?? Insanity !! Hats off.........
Everyone has the capacity to learn!
@@ThisOffGridLife hmmm, yes but not for all.....
cool I'm as we speak taking a break from installing a growatt all in one
Good job guy's. what other works for you guy's. might be in the hiuse in no time. God bless
Cool
Love the beautiful intro, the wilderness, and the bears...lol I checked out Sungold Inverters, they're very reasonable, I'd like to see how it performs for ya'll first. I will be installing a system in my cabin in Missouri this year, would like the input. (Pun intended) lol I have a Renergy system in Wisconsin, but always looking to upgrade. Love ya'll ❤️
We'll do a longer use review soon but so far it's been great!
That girl is your neighbor?? Good work there. Good quality powersystem :)
Hello, I have downloaded two versions of the user's manual. On page 9: Max. PV Array Open Circuit Voltage: 250V (old version), 390Vdc (new version). PV Array MPPT Voltage Range: 90Vdc~230Vdc (old version), 90Vdc~350Vdc (new version).
They did change the mppt voltage in the newer version
I'm thinking. Perhaps a shed of sorts might be better. Even to build a part of the shed that you can finish later on.
Sweet! I have two of those SunGold 6500 units sitting in the boxes. I will be setting them up in a couple weeks on my off-grid property. Will be paired up with about 8KW of bifacial panels and 2 Trophy 48V 100AH batteries. I am looking forward to getting it all setup.
Nice setup!
@@ThisOffGridLife you guys and several other channels inspired me to continue my off grid journey after losing my wife. It was our dream.
@@blaxtarr good on you! 👍🏻 I’m over 60 and we are off grid now. By accident more than design really but it’s the best decision we ever made. I think you are going to need more batteries for your system. 😊👍🏻
@@blaxtarr sorry about your loss
@Farm Villa I'm off grid by accident also. They cut off all power to the yard I store all my equipment at and actually live there. I'm just single so I don't need a lot but I'm doing this Sun gold 6500 with three server rack batteries everything's coming in very soon and I'm going to have about 3000 Watts worth of solar panel maybe a second string also. Trying to figure out my wire size at the moment. I think they're sending me four gauge wire but I might need bigger. I know on my 12-volt system I have 1/0
I have pretty much same unit (Not the same brand but they are all made by VoltronicPower in china and is sold under different brand names). My unit is 5.2KW and has been running non-stop for the last 3 years trouble free. Had to take it down once for cleaning but apart from that, its been quite reliable. Congrats for setting this up.
Have you connected a generator to it?
Can it be connected? If so, how do designate polarity?
@@cjmcay I haven't connected generator but i have it connected to the grid supply. The line, neutral and ground are clearly market at the connection points so it shouldn't be hard.
@@Ayzee5363 Thanks for the quick response! My solar guy told me the generator has a magnetic coil and won't be compatible? He said it will FRY my inverter? BTW: WOW, as for getting that 200 pound battery bank out at one time!
To move the batteries
the dog stole the show it georgeous
I say this with respect and no disrespect to anyone but Katie definitely didn't miss leg day and apparently she didn't miss arm day either cuz she broke out the big guns today. Greg you had some good help and you did good too keep up the good work God bless from Missouri
Love your flowers 🌺🌺🌺🌹
lol You guys own a Red Panda? Too cute!
nice
I love the fact you waste NOTHING!!👍🌲
I have a mttp all in one it's on its second year & I like it & iam off grid as well oh & it will also save u in gas cuz generator charge batteries when u have to use it & ur get more power for later that's the way to go
What would that be
@@harlanmclain1719 It's a fake account and they are running a SCAM trying to get you to send money for shipping. DON'T TALK TO THEM OR SEND ANY MONEY. Anytime you see a comment like that, report it!
Hey guys ,nice install, what panel breaker box are you using to the right of the sungold for the solar panels
8:30 now this is quality content
I had a LOL at this comment
Well done! Enjoy , a step closer to stop living in your bus.
nice re brand mpp solar inverter
#808 it’s the beat. Good morning good job thanks for the episode…
You should have used the bucket on the tractor, cos metal & hydraulics don't complain in 20 years.
But your bodies will !!!
Canadian girls f n rock.
"Holy fuck," he mutters under his breath..... LOL!
Nice video. I did see that that inverter is clone of MPP Solar inverter.
I would suggest :
1. take that remote control unit out of the main inverter..it will cool it more and you will not bump into that start switch ..maybe not your concern but it was mine.. also check that it isn't too hot close to those Lan cables ..that is where main 7805 is placed and it gets hot..
2. mine unit 11kW has 3 fans and they are on all the time..so for sure you want to be sure you will move it out ..as it get pretty loud when it is on full throttle :)..
3. btw it is pity that they didn't explain better that when you want to change output voltagefrom 220-240V it is possible only in off mode..it frustrated me ..till i was able find it out :)
4. make sure your room is clean and there isn't dust..as gets in pretty fast..there is input filter..so if nothing else clear it pretty regularly..i would say weekly..(it is new constr..so a lot of dust i would imagine )
5. I added hole into right side of that blue removable panel..I hope it will improve cooling of this unit..and then added mesh ..that is used to PC ventilators..
So far i have positive experience with the unit as well.. ofc that software you mentioned..well it isn't much ..i would say trash..is better word..but that isn't as much important ..It works and that is important..
Btw i notice consumption isn't so small..so that is con in this case..you make sure you size your battery accordingly..
I enjoy watching your videos and decided to buy the same kit. I’m having questions as to hooking it to my house service box. I am 100% off grid and was hoping you had some pictures of it going from the inverter to you service box or could assist me in doing that I would be super awesome!!!
