@lastcenturyclassics

Thanks for showing us Eric, on how to do solar installation properly. 😁 Plus your extra time in documenting all the costs associated with such a project. 👍

@stephanied143

The little stuff adds up quick for sure .

@Electronzap

Good info. I used to work security at a lumber yard before I worked construction. A lot of times during the summer, I'd keep seeing some of the same people in nice vehicles, picking up random stuff week after week. After a month or 3, they'd tell me that I was never going to see them again. They decided to do some remodeling themselves, and when they were finished, realized they would have been better off hiring a professional. I'm guessing that if they spent the same amount of time working at their job so that they could pay a professional instead of DIYing it themselves, that they would have been better off financially, and definitely better off mentally.

@kristine778

Very helpful to bring this up and to give a cost breakdown.

@jab376

Amazing video! So many little things that really add up fast.

@jasperthomas8048

I really appreciate the detail. It had to be a pain to be put together. Thanks so much. Happy Labor Day to you and your family!

@Cowboy_Steve

This is some really good stuff to know! Thank you for taking the time to break it all down for us. 👍 🤠

@NewLightEnergy

Fantastic breakdown of what is actually involved to build your own. As we are building our system the knowledge and time to make everything right has a great value to it as well. Absolutely worth the build but it does take some dedication.

@dangoras9152

Good information brother .. The best thing to do is always shop around for deals.. Right now is the wrong time to buy everything is twice the price. Batteries and wires are the most expensive thing. Good information keep it up brother..

@rodneyross5282

Eric this is a much needed video for those starting in solar. My guess was $2000.00, I was close lol. Thanks for sharing this for all to learn from. I was there last weekend went to Signature Solar for some advice on a new system. They are awesome people. I so want to move back to East Texas. I really miss my home. Central Texas on Lake Whitney is nice, however, the beauty of East Texas is awesome.

@amsohn1

Great info!! Thanks so much.

@baselb80

Detailed and full of information thanks a lot

@jl9678

Excellent, excellent vid! Saving this to my solar playlist

@kcmgfarm2389

I know you have an entire play list for your solar setup but I think you should put a solar 101 course together. I think it would do really well and would generate a good forum for thoughts and ideas. Always love and am thankful for your solar content.

@arnoldreiter435

having finished a couple of smaller projects i can appreciate how the cost of completing all the details adds up. My dad told me many years ago the devil is in the details, might be this is what he was thinking about. I am glad you actually mentioned a dollar amount, too often u tubers neglect this important bit of information
