I have been monitoring my electric consumption with an Emporia monitor. MY AC is about 40% of electric bill. Based on the current cost of the EG4 system, I think my ROI is about 24 months. I am in the process of installing the 24K unit, 7 bifacial Sirus 410W panels, with the Signature Solar ground mount. I have a clear line of sunlight up until 5pm each day. I don't plan to hook up the unit to my grid power and will see if i can make a huge dent in my heating and cooling costs. Thanks for the video.
Can't tell you the number of times we get asked how many solar panels are needed. You did a fantastic job of explaining that as well as the wiring. Great job, Taddy!
I think I remember seeing a Lennox system with PV inputs a while back. It'd be awesome to see more HVAC units like this, perhaps even larger 4 ton units. I've maxed out my PV inverter and still draw a considerable amount of power from the grid. Since most of my power is from cooling (TX), a larger 4 ton central/multi zone with PV input would be a cheaper (since kill two birds with one stone) way to add solar capacity without having to sell power to the city and buying it back at a higher rate.
Being in the HVAC Business my question is how are you going to fix it when it breaks down? I would like to buy one but I think I'm just gonna buy a regular mini split and add solar to the house. They seem to be the only ones making a solar unit and looks to be good deal till it doesn't work one day
I heard there's a 110V Air conditioning mini split out there. So put together a battery bank, inverter, controller, solar array, and you're done! Right??
What about going over the 12 amp rating with solar panels. I was told you can’t get panels that are rated above 12 amps ISC or it will damage the built in inverter.
Sir please make a video mini split inverter air conditioner technology temperature sensor working and At what temperature does the protection start? And compresaor off and how to check communication IDU to ODU How to decide whether there is a fault in the PCB of Indore or the fault in the PCB of outdoor? Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
These do both Heat and Air is that correct? Thinking about getting one of these to supplement or backup heat supply for my propane furnace and help with the AC unit which eat $$ during the summer. Enjoy your channel!
Yhe problem with solar panels and wind turbines is there is np economicap way to recycle them. Like after the big wind storm in Wales. amasses of solar panels destroyed a large numbet of eind turbones ruined. Until the tecycle problem is solved than No more of either insta 5:36 lled. Make a new law no installatipn until a tried and proven recycle method approved
@TaddyDigest They claim 29.5 SEER2 and actual EER is 13.5 or 385% efficient at 95F, which is not far off from a non inverter window unit. For comparison the best Fujitsu is rated at 33 SEER2 and actual EER is 18.2 or 530% at 95F which is possibly the most efficient available (well over 800% efficient at 3000 BTU minimal load) The EER ratings can be slightly adjusted by "rating" the unit near its maximum BTU or rating at a much lower BTU, which essentially over sizes or undersizes the coils. So with the EG4 you are getting a lot less machine than the BTU implies and with the Fujitsu or Mitsubishi youre getting a lot more machine, especially when it comes to heating.
@m2o2u Thats a good question, probably because its a bit too complex for the typical buyer to sort through. Im surprised they stretched the number that far. The trick is to focus on EER instead of SEER and make sure to get an inverter unit so you get the partial-load efficiency benefits.
Ty, generally speaking there is an "mppt.." or something similar inside (Victron, EG4 hybrid or similar).Another question, what about repairability after the warranty period?

Awesome. Excited to hear the progress and a report after install.Let me know how it goes

That is what I am talking about ... Good Deal Brother
I have just discovered this channel as european HVAC student and technician. Thanks for your work and making informative videos! Have a great day sir
You are very welcome
is fusing needed?

Great video very informative and straight to the point thanks
Very educative.
Fantastic video, Taddy!
Thank you so much
I'm so glad you liked the video
Very nice Tad! Thank You!
Glad you liked it!

you can do this with parts from harbor freight with a normal mini split...
let's do video replicating it
@@TaddyDigest great idea...and then write off the materials...genius!
@sumdumguy4659 😆 💥 Boom

Boom
Tad, you did an excellent job explaining the process. Thanks
You're welcome. Thank you so much for watching the video.I really appreciate your kindness and your compliment
What's the total cost inverter solar panels, mini split, etc,etc thank you
Check description
yes sir I'm admire this item I want be a electrician
I'm waiting for my wind powered mini split. 😂
@@acwright no way?! Where you living Atlanta ?
What about going over the 12 amp rating with solar panels. I was told you can’t get panels that are rated above 12 amps ISC or it will damage the built in inverter.
What's the name of the movie?
what movie
Now show us how to hook solar up to any ac with an inverter
No disconnect or circuit breaker in the system?
1 for p v and 1 for a c
Can you use 1500 watt on the 12 k ?
yes as long as voc is not over 380
Thank you very much

ok I will

Yes, it is a heat pump, so it does both heat and cooling
🖐️How much for each solar panel?
150
They sell a bundle kit where you can buy the mini split with the panels needed
Signature Solar Website
signaturesolar.com/?ref=kvNaxADKBHncIq
Use Code Taddy50 for $50.00 off your order over $500.00
Does it use both power inputs if solar is below capacity?
It will yes
voltz x amps equals watts
Yes, sir, that is correct. That is another video right there.I will do that soon
2200w of solar and your bringing in 120w on your 24k btu ? You need to place your panels better....
It was because of the time of the day

Dont be fooled by the SEER2 rating on these units
why

For comparison the best Fujitsu is rated at 33 SEER2 and actual EER is 18.2 or 530% at 95F which is possibly the most efficient available (well over 800% efficient at 3000 BTU minimal load)

So with the EG4 you are getting a lot less machine than the BTU implies and with the Fujitsu or Mitsubishi youre getting a lot more machine, especially when it comes to heating.
@@LibertyDIY What do you mean? Why will they make a fool of us?
@m2o2u Thats a good question, probably because its a bit too complex for the typical buyer to sort through. Im surprised they stretched the number that far.

For one year tempers are going to flare when you find out you're gonna have to live in a shed.
Solar are good for the people however they are still complicated. For someone who doesn't know anything about all the techy this is so complicated.
Ty, generally speaking there is an "mppt.." or something similar inside (Victron, EG4 hybrid or similar).Another question, what about repairability after the warranty period?
yes there is a mppt inside the outdoor unit
I will get details on warranty
---------- homeowners/contractors need to make provisions for solar panels -- in construction phase prior to the final roofing materials ----- thx
Absolutely.I agree.Great point.Thank you for this comment
