Here is a ling to the best provider of solar kits you will be impressed.
www.gogreensolar.com/
That website sux btw, you can't go on there for more than 10 seconds without them trying to get you to put in personal information.
On the Avasva you can count on professional help with problems and technical support.
yea they had a technician at go green included with the price of the kit, for all my installation help needs. I didnt need him to advise but it was nice to know he was there.
It's not pro-volactic... it's PHOTO - VOLTaic (photo voltayik). This just means light is converted into electricity.
Thanks for the correction I always wondered why they make it so formal not just say solar.
Lol pro-volactic sounds like a solar powered prophylactic. Sun powered condoms; we truly live in the future! :)
I literally hit rewind 3 times to hear the provolactic again.. But I would say for a homeowner, he knows way more than most.
@@billyfuchs4903 thanks I need the watch time LOL
So it doesn’t mean solar, in gibberish language? Lol
Nice job. I hope your 2 panel micro inverters work out for you.
still working very well. virtually no drop in production FYI.
When you were on the roof were you able to do it all yourself? Or did you need a second person to help with laying out the panels on the roof?
Nice video Mike, have you had any trouble out of any of the inverters I'm thinking about using them. Thanks
Nice video.One thing though. You WILL have to replace those zip ties.Those look like indoor but even the outdoor ones don't last.
yea they are just to secure the ground wire and have no purpose other than making it look clean for the inspector. I will probably use copper wire and tie them pretty soon still havent failed in 2 years.
Get an electrician to do the service part, it will last so much longer. It will look so much cleaner too
yea my conduit is a bit crooked but lots better than the rattle snake stuff I have seen from other guys install. OMG. all flex no metal just a mess.
It won't last longer or look much cleaner... if you do it smartly and with quality part it will cost at tenth of the price and last as long.
Yikes no don't put that much on a credit card. Go to the bank and get a HELOC.
I bought mine with my heloc
Will the city raise my property tax for improvement to my home?
Your property value increases with solar panels, so yes probably since property taxes are based off of the value of the home.
Prophylactic means "for guarding against", fyi. Common medical jargon.
ha ha funny I misspoke you got me
Micro inverter fail a lot because they go under the solar panels and create a lot of heat trust me this is from experience
2 questions?
1. why 2 conduits coming down from the roof?
2. is the inverter the first box on the right?
the actual inverters are under the solar panels. The city required 2 circuits in separate conduit. Maximum of 20 watts per circuit. The first box is a sub panel. then there is a disconnect then the meter then the main panel. All required by my city and the plans reflected local code.
So this is a micro inverter setup I HIGHLY recommend microinverters over a main inverter like the system you are used to seeing. Its safer, more efficient, less fire hazard, and much easier to install and maintain. But they cost a bit more.
the inverters are under the solar panels Microinverters the only way to go. NO big inverter they can be dangerous. and high voltage coming in.
How did you know you needed a "sub panel" and how did you know how to hook all of this up? With microinverters, could you plug an AC appliance directly in to the inverter and use it? (assuming the panel was in a more convenient location instead of on a roof).
Mike
@@ericaltf4 All on the approved plans provided by www.gogreensolar.com and I am not affiliated with them or being paid by them whatsoever. These were all the requirements of the city where I live. thanks for watching
Provolactic? Is that a new solar technology?
ha ha funny. i misspoke
great video thanks for taking the time and sharing. so who installs the components after the AC disconnect? do you and if so, what do you run it to since no meter is present?
Well My best answer not quite understanding what you mean by disconnect would be your power company. I believe you are meaning the breaker on the main service panel. When you get your permit they specify all of that to you at building and safety. Plus the plans do the rest. With microinverters your wires will not be hot even when the sun is on them. So you can do your final hook up to the main service panel at very last and turn off the main to do that final hook up.
+Mike F - so you installed the box and wiring where the first meter is then they just plug in the meter part and run that to the main panel into a breaker you installed?
@@kbob8424 I believe you are correct. But it is raining out so I cant verify. This circuit was what was required by the city I live in.
With plans from Avasva you can make it really easy.
Just subbed
thank you hope you like my stuff.
My home is 3200sf in Texas and 40 years old. I almost never have a 200 per month bill? And if it reaches 200 it is for one or two months per year. I have a 5 ton, a 2.5 ton and 3 window units to supplement the areas i want colder. I am interested in solar, but i want someone with real world numbers that i can count on.
Then your price per kwh must be dirt cheap.
wow your electric must be cheap where you live.
Is there an echo in here?
California is around $0.38 per kwh for upper tiers. Terrible!
The message here: Move out of California
No thanks, they might move here and then this state will suck too.
Nice video, good explanation. I think I'll need a larger output here in Texas with two big air conditioners, but this is really good info. Thanks!
thanks and hope it helps you get your own solar.
get those microinverters work really well and less fire hazard if you can use them for your system.
I did something very similar, new plans from Avasva helped me with this.
Discover how to do it with Avasva.
I will say you waaaaay over paid. I'm putting together a 20kw system and I expect to pay less than what you did. And I've already purchased all my panels and inverters.
micro inverters, engineered mounting kit plans and panels 20kw for less than 13 grand. Dont tell me you didnt get the engineered mounting kit that is not a comparison. All inclusive. Everything including plan check guarantee and help for installation to pass inspection.
I don't need to pay double for some plans. I realize you got ripped off, dont be mad at me. I'd attempt to get your money back.
I mean what brand are those panels? Some no name Chinese brand? I bought 20kw of sunpower high efficiency panels for 7000$.... sun power is one of the highest rated panels out there.
@@markyrocks69 yea but that means nothing if you cant get them approved for installation. I did not get ripped off. And before you say I did you need to be fair. Was that for all solar panels and Microinverters. The microinverters are super expensive and if you get the one inverter that you are in for nightmare with that many panels. I dont know the brand name off hand because I purchased them several years ago and they were rated in the top 10 of all panels. Plus the micoinveters. You really need to know what you can get approved where you live before you make that plunge by just buying the panels. If you cant get them approved by the city or county you live in they might as well be boat anchors. Mounting kit and engineer specs are a MUST for most places. And the plans need to meet guidelines. Super important. Price of panels means really nothing without that.
@@markyrocks69 and what kind of inveters solar panels are cheap. the inverters are where the money is. Plus that mounting kit that is fire, wind, weight engineered is a must for most places. I think you might have gotten ripped off.
so...i'm thinking 15k dollars?
yea with permits and shipping plus check your local for electric company for rebates. and that is for microinverters. I would say a must. If you are looking around make sure you get that. they just work better and are safer.
Put a steel mesh faraday cage around that cancer causing dumbmeter!
hmmm I will look into that thanks for the comment
THAT IS HOGWASH (Put a steel mesh Faraday cage around that cancer-causing dumbmeter), Read on:
According to Google, Water (your Body parts) resonance Frequency is 2.45 GHz, that is the frequency of Microwave ovens ( www.schoolphysics.co.uk/age16-19/Wave%20properties/Wave%20properties/text/Microwave_ovens/index.html )
A cell Phone produces A CONSTANT 6-watts power (maximum when far apart from cell tower), to minimize battery DRAIN transmit power is constantly being monitored.
The so-called “SMART” meters uses UHF (Ultra High Frequency) cell frequencies that is only measured in Milliseconds VS Constant cell phone power. YOU WILL GET MORE DAMAGE with RF by a cell phone than by a Smart meter.
Q: What frequency do they operate at, and what sort of radiation do they emit?
The PG&E Silver Springs Network “smart” meter operates in the 902-928 MHz range, near the range of most cell phones, and in the radio-frequency microwave range (300 MHz to 3 GHz). The 2-millisecond spikes of RF (radio-frequency) it emits are randomly assigned to a pattern of alternating frequencies-the pulses keep shifting which frequency they are using. At least 90% of the pulses are not your data, but the “mesh network” talking to itself-also known as network “chatter.”

Such stupid hype when your cell phone has much more antenna and transmit all the time less then 30cm from you...
