I like your system. … I like your system. Nice and simple, looks easy to recreate. My question is, why not plug your solar energy system into your house circuitry so you don’t have an extension cord to your kitchen and living room? Just throw the circuit breaker to the electric grid for when you don’t want to use the electrical grid, and disconnect your solar power when you use the electrical grid.
I like the system … I like the system and Id like to also go solar but im just wondering costs thats basicly my last hurdle. where would I get those?
Nice set up.
Hi Dave, Nice … Hi Dave, Nice little system. Recently I posted a video of my home wind/solar hybrid project, go have a look if you are interested in home solar energy. Lots of video of my install of rooftop wind turbines and solar panels at my house. Favorite my videos or Subscribe to my channel if you like. Thanks
That Tri-Metric … That Tri-Metric looks sweet!
You did your setup nicely.
Are you stepping the voltage down from the panels thru the controller?
I’ve seen that the MPPT charge controllers can change voltage from higher to lower for the battery bank.
Knowing power usage and battery health is crucial for optimum system performance. Very helpful info, thanks.
The funny thing is … The funny thing is that youtube also inspired me to get my solar system from sunpower.
You should add some more solr on your home.
there is the … there is the question of running everything from solar whats needed of course? and the cost of it too. and protecting the solar panals from harm.
What they need to … What they need to do is sell simple design kits in department stores and advertise the benefits. Eventually more and more people will buy them, recession or no recession, thus driving down the price.
Yer not gonna … Yer not gonna believe it, but, your solar vid was one of the first vids i saw here on utube that inspired me into setting up my system! oh yeah!! yer chanel rocks, I watched allot of yer vids a while back and i love what you’ve done over there. keep the great work bro.
Man!
has anyone … Man!
has anyone told you…you are awesome!!!
I wish you were my next door neigbhbor.
Really cool man…useful & clean setup.
I wish mine was that good.

liking the set up : … liking the set up I firmly believe we ALL need to be doing this, If you had one side of the roof of your house covered in panels you would have all the energy you need.
The initial cost is the bummer, but i hope people learn to see the long term ecological and financial benafits of going off grid.
