Great video highlighting user scenarios that Victron equipment can be used for. Will love to see something like this from African countries especially rural electrification. Well done guys. 👍

Great video, Jono, keep them coming. Best wishes from Northern Canada.

The (automatically?) translated title from Dutch back to English: Farmer in Turkey switches over from a generator to solar power with Victron Energy. The text under it says: "Will has a farm in Turkey in the South-East of England."

i love victron i have that exact same server rack now being used for my solar setup with all victron products, pylon tech is the way forward for batteries but i wish they will come down in price soon and very hard to get hold of too.

I love victron equipments..

Whenever I see a large, flat shed or barn roof, I always wonder why it isn't covered in solar panels. That is a lot of wasted real estate that could be generating a lot of power.

Victron really has good solutions,...

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 03:12 ☀️ Will, the turkey farmer, needed an entirely off-grid solar system that could power his farm's welfare building, making it a reliable and cost-effective source of electricity. 04:18 🛠️ Will, with technical support from Energy Monkey, installed the solar system himself, even though unpacking and setting up the equipment was initially daunting. 05:02 🌞 The solar system comprises 20 solar panels, a 10kVA Quattro inverter-charger, and eight 2.4 kilowatt Pylontech Lithium batteries, providing Will with the power he needs. 06:00 🔄 Will plans to reverse the power source, using solar energy to run lights and low-power requirements in the brooding shed and barns, reducing the need for the costly generator. 07:27 🌱 The solar system is expected to bring numerous benefits to Will's farm, including cost savings, reduced noise, and a greener, cleaner energy source for his business's future growth.

I love it.

"Landwirt in der Türkei wechselt mit Victron Energy von Generator zu Solar" thanks, youtube. Now a turkey farmer is a farmer in Turkey.

Good luck Good job

The thing that jumps out at me about this video is the fact that prices were quoted for how expensive it would be to get connected to the grid, and I agree they were ridiculous, however NO prices at all were given for the solar system, and that is ignoring that it would have been even higher had he not done the install himself. There is a good reason for that isn't there, my guess would be that the batteries alone are likely to be at least £1200 each and I hate to think the cost of the inverter and control equipment. Solar is a great idea especially as once you have it, in effect the power is free, unfortunately getting the system itself certainly isn't cheap. I would be interested to know (A) how much the system parts were and (B) how long his payback period is even allowing for the high prices currently for grid electricity VS running the generator when required...

Yes 👍 ☀️⚡🔌💡🔋

At first glance at the title, i thought this was about a farmer in Turkey going to Solar.

Awesome, but should have more panels!!!!!

An interesting vido Jono. How is Molly?

Actually, despite the ridiculous cost of grid connection & given the huge amount of leftover rooftop space, not to mention a fair bit of leeway for ground mounted solar arrays, I think it could prove cost effective for him to grid connect anyway as a means of diversification for the farm. Bird flu is becoming increasingly common, not just in domestic flocks but in wild avian populations also. Should he have a particularly bad year with having to cull early due to bird flu, having income from either feed-in tariffs or an off-take agreement with a company such as Octopus, well, it might just save his bacon - or should that be turkey? Once people become accustomed to solar power & battery storage, they tend to want to go full eco geek if possible. 🤓 🤓

Contact me for help with systems in Cornwall. Experience in installing Victron grid tied and off grid systems of this scale, larger and smaller. We can offer advice right up to fully design, supply and install.

Lovely. There are 40 panels on the building but the gent says only 20 x 340W panels were installed. Were the other already there please?

Just a thought of having to take down that 10kVA inverter for service makes my back hurt. Why does every install has them hung high up? Nice system otherwise. Would be nice to have all his demand met by solar.

what chemistry are the batteries?

How efficient is the system run during the Winter Months?????... I'm from Australia, we have a climate that's more suitable for Solar Systems, BUT, in saying that, during the Winter months, a solar system is not quite up to the requirements of Winter Kwh usage.... Good video and well presented.. Cheers Fella's..

Hallo 🤗👍 Gut 👍🤗

The traditional festive meal in December is called Christmas. Not sure why you avoided saying that.

How does one plant a turkey? Does it need much direct sunlight?

Given the generator was sized for the refrigeration equipment (presumably), will the 10kVA quattro be enough to run it or will the generator still be required in the preparation season?

With the release of fogstar server rack batteries, pylon tech are screwed😂😂 £1050 for 5kwh is a no brainer compared to pylon tech

🦃🦃🦃

turkish farmer england narrator

See my victron install...on my channel love your kit by the way!!!

Why use 340W panels when there are 500W panels available?

Does Victron make and sell their own panels that are not made in China?

panels r wrong angle

so 30k for reliable power 24/7 power. no maintenance no hassle no interruptions . Or about 10k to 20k for solar that will be less reliable, requires huge amounts of maintenance compared to mains power, will lose efficiency over time, and will require replacing after 15 years ish, (a problem with solar tech as a whole). also having LI-ion batteries that will also degrade and require replacing too. A (problem with all Li-ion batteries whether in a phone, a car or in a power storage solution in a home) think i would rather pay the 30k
