The old FIT tariff was where it was at. 2011 I paid 10k, had 22k back to date plus the power. Still wish I'd bought bitcoin back then instead though 🤣🤔

@Charlie bitcoin or tariff? £2.5k a year yield on a 4kw array. The panels last very well without deterioration its the inverter you need to watch. I had a relay failure in mine, but I got a TV repair centre to solder a new one onto the board. As good as new.

I’ve got an “in-roof” system, using the GSE adaptors. I think they just look smarter! But my electrician also thinks it takes less time to install than on-roof systems, and there are fewer warranty issues compared to relying on existing roof tiles underneath not breaking. So he quoted accordingly. It took a crew of three people, two days (10 hours per day) to install 28 panels over two roof planes, There’s also much less static load on the rafters compared to tiles. You also get loads of roof tiles (hard to get) to flog online to desperate roofers who can’t get them at the builders merchants.

Thanks, in South Africa, we have planned power outages, called "load shedding". We even have an app to track this. I built a solar generator inside a mobile toolbox, 24v 50ah battery with 400w solar panels, so while load shedding is on, during sun shine time, I run my fridges and freezer. Night time I only run my 2 small fridges for 3 hours maximum.

@brianbuchanan5170 Рік тому

Thanks for the video. I love how something like electricity can be setup so differently across countries. In Canada our meter base and service panels look totally different. Our panels do lack global GFCI and serge protection instead putting it on the individual branch circuit level. Another common difference is most houses I’ve seen which are younger than 30 years old all have 200A service. Yes, that’s 200A at 240V for a total of 48kVA. It meant that my own upcoming installation of 10kW solar and EVSE is small compared with the potential loads from the electric heat pump and furnace. It’s a lot of excess capacity as my normal daily usage is sub 20kWh except for three months in the winter while the biggest daily draw was 130kWh.

Hi Jordan Another informative post. Here in Australia there is talk about back charging home owners for putting power back into the grid, begs the reason why you'd consider getting solar panels. Power companies will never loose out on making money. Also one of our states is about introduce a tax (per kilometer traveled) for EV drivers for driving EV cars as they lose out on fule tax. As a spark in Australia it's great to see the similarities between our country's but also the differences on the installations and materials used in our trade. Keep up the great work. Stay safe its a shocking Industry we work in.

@guywhoknows 2 роки тому

@@edwyncorteen1527 no it's not that, the problem with solar is that as more people get it, there is more power during the day (when it's sunny) but then none at night. The power company want people to buy batteries so they can dump the cost on the consumer. But in some countries they're getting rid of equality to lower the benefits (payment and 1 for 1) like here where they buy at 5pence and sell at 37 pence. You don't think the old grant system wasn't a scam do you? That was due to the shortfall in power station production... As well as a way to get home owner to pay for them to sell power... 412 million pounds profit one of the many companies made the other year, not checked back on their bank balance recently.

When installing solar panels I would ensure that pigeons are unable to get under them to nest. My neighbour installed panels all over his roof and now he has 40+ pigeons up there. He and I spend hours every week cleaning up pigeon droppings, feathers and nesting materials that litter our passageways, gardens and driveways.

@deang5622 Рік тому

Get yourself an ISOTRONIC ultrasonic pigeon scarer. They work very well. They will keep the pigeons away. They come with their own integral solar panel to recharge the internal batteries, so if you're going to place the device under panels, you probably want to open the ISOTRONIC device is, remove the solar panel and extend the wires, so the panel can be place into sunshine rather than being in the shade of the panels.

@CrownRider 2 роки тому

South facing solar panels have their peak production mid day obviously. So do all other solar panels in your neighborhood causing the voltage to go over 250 Vac in some cases, when the power cannot be used in the neighborhood. This means the converter will shut down during the peak. In the Netherlands the advice is now to mount East - West facing solar panels, as much as possible. It prevents the unwanted peak. However, it makes the system less efficient.

@andybricky1927 2 роки тому

This is all very interesting. We installed ours 11 years ago, this put us in new inverter territory. When we installed it was compulsary to use an M.C.S installer. What people should be aware of is to replace an inverter you need no qualifications, Solaredge will sell to people who are not M.C.S reg. I assume other suppliers are the same. Please check if you are covered by an M.C.S guarantee when you replace your inverter. Also Solaredge offer optimisers, these are useful if your roof is in part shade as the panels opperate as individuals. If your roof is in full sun you do not get a lot of benefit from them, if they are part of the package, fine, but consider your roof orientation before adding them as an extra. Finally the tiles! If they are new tiles they will take a little walking on, if they are old and brittle your felt may also be brittle and broken tiles are sharp and if the installer is not a careful person you will have many broken tiles and punctured felt. If like the people who installed our optimisers, they re-arrange the pieces of broken tiles, hoping you don't find out until it rains and they have your money, you are in trouble! Check the condition of your felt after any work on your roof from the loft. It should perhaps have been said first, for us they have been a wonderful investment, and the original installers were very competant, though now sadly gone.

@My_HandleIs_ 2 роки тому

Silly to downsize the inverter! In the grand scheme of things it is a tiny amount saved between inverter sizes. You should rather oversize the inverter to have room for upgrades later on! Yes, I know that can be difficult in reality for some inverters, as the panel setup must be matched to the input capabilities of the inverter and the characteristics of the existing panels, but e.g. if one input is free, a separate string of panels can easily be connected there.

@conmcgrath7174 2 роки тому

I'll come back to you later, but yes , you are correct, kind of? Not essentially correct at all, as an Engineer I would have to say no, you are proposing things that may or may not work but if they worked for you, well, maybe you got lucky but there's no guarantee. If you have a system that I anticipate, even that system just dumps excess load? That can be used?

@stevejagger8602 2 роки тому

Battery storage needs to have replacement cost factored into the advice given to the customer. Like every other part of any system there is a certain life expectancy dependant on the usage which for a battery system is governed by the depth of discharge and the number charge - discharge cycles. Lithium ion based battery storage systems are more durable than lead acid in this regard.

Should you not have refurbished the roof it seems that it has a lot of greens on it that might get you into trouble later on as it decrease the life of the tiles and thus you need to remove the panels with an extra cost to do the roof later on.

@petermontgomery85 2 роки тому

Is there a deterioration factor, with power output, over time and does it vary depending on type of panel. Why can't the electric meter be designed to clock in reverse as your system is generating. This to me seems a better solution to having storage batteries installed. It also benefits those people that cannot use power during the day, when at work and needing the power in the evening.

Suggesting that fitting solar panels to a roof can add value is not always the case. In fact they can actually be a seller's burden if there is still any debt outstanding on the fitting/service contract. Most mortgage lenders will require confirmation of such debt and this in turn can put people off buying. There have been cases where installation companies have gone bust and service contracts have been tied into specific suppliers which basically can create more hassle to sort out than buyers want to deal with from the start.
