If you're serious about getting solar, in this video, I'll take you through the major system components you'll be needing, together with a couple of optional ones, and provide some tips on how to find a good installer.

If you're getting a lot from my videos, and would like to support me in my efforts to help everyone, here are a couple of ways to do this:
1. You could www.buymeacoffee.com/GaryDoes... :-)
2. If you're thinking of switching energy supplier to Octopus Energy. If you call them and give them my referral code ("blue-wind-201") and my name ("Gary Waite") and we'll both get a £50 credit to our accounts as a result! share.octopus.energy/blue-win...
I believe Octopus Energy is doing more than any other energy company in the UK to take us forward to a bright renewable future, and I'll make making reference to them and their initiatives in future videos.
For UK viewers, this highly recommended Facebook Group is a great place to learn about solar, ask questions, and even get opinions from members on quotations you've received: / 2197329430289466

* NOTES SINCE PUBLICATION * 1. In the video I make reference to MCS, a certification scheme, normally required by energy providers before they can provide certain services like paid export. There are now other similar schemes, including FlexOrb that energy providers are accepting as well. Competition in this area is good as it will help keep the pricing of these schemes down. 2. Also in the video, I talk about the effect of shading on a single panel affecting all the other panels. In actual fact, it depends of the type of shading. If the shading is hard (for example, from a chimney or another building) then the panel is able to protect itself (via bypass diodes) without affecting any the other panels in the string. If the shading is diffuse or limited (for example, a TV antenna or cable) then this could well affect the other panels because that kind of shading is not sufficient to activate the bypass diodes in that panel. See this video for a more complete explanation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b62mm6eZqLmul6M.html

One of the companies I priced for Solar panels was $65,000 for my home, It would take me 36 years to pay for that at the cost of what I pay for my light bill now.

@AnthonyAlvarado78 6 ай бұрын

@docbrown6550 most states have rebates and SRECs available to reduce that burden. Most of my analysis came back at a 5 year pay for itself cost.

@docbrown6550 6 ай бұрын

@@AnthonyAlvarado78 My light bill is around $100 a month, at a cost of $65,000, it is not feasible in any form or fashion to buy solar. Our state does not help that much to make enough of a difference. It would actually take me more than 36 years to pay that off, at the cost of what I'm paying now for my light bill.

Really helpful video. I got quotes for a solar installation a couple of years ago and didn’t feel confident proceeding. I feel that after this video and others on this channel I could have another go.

Gary, Thank you so much for this video, I'm just starting on the solar/battery storage learning trail and I found this video remarkably comprehensive in explaining in, laymans terms, many of the questions I needed answered and the most surprising thing of all was I was expecting to find at the end of the video some sort of promotion for this or that particular equipment or that you were an installer, but no, just putting this info out there without looking for anything in return, quite a revelation in todays society, so again many thanks for your time and effort. best regards

Thanks Quintin - yeah, my driver for making the videos was primarily all about saving people tons of time wading through the minefield of information (and misinformation) about solar technology. If I can make any money on ad revenue etc. then that will go towards improving my recording setup (which is currently very basic). Feedback like this really makes it all worthwhile, so thank you for taking the time to comment! ❤️
