Dude, you are just the best. From diy hydrosystems to solar. I truly believe you should have more followers.

Took the Jump here and went off grid. Yeah just left the city life behind. In order to do this I watched 5 years of video's like this and learned Ohm's Law. I had to understand how battery chemistry worked. How temperature affects ALL power production and know the differences between real and fake equipment such as cheap high frequency modified sine inverters vs True low frequency Pure sine inverters. I agree there is minor differences in Mono and poly. We opted mostly for poly. I can live in a tent by my wife wants the normal luxury's. Fridge, microwave and coffee maker + the dredded Airfryer. 4,800w PV, 6,000 pure sine low frequency AIMS inverter ( 95 lbs

great vid.

Very interesting. Nice explanation 👍👍

great explanation. thanks

good channel. people will need your information as times get worse. I am glad we are ahead of the curve.

Very helpful....i just had one question....suppose several panels with open circuit voltage of 20 V were connected in parallel, due to shade cast over one of the panel, its open circuit voltage reduces to 15 V, my question is due to this drop in voltage from only one panel, will the voltage of entire system reduce to 15 V or remain 20 V ?

thank you man

Good job.

Good video for a newbie to solar. Do you have any solar mini splits on the property? Smart to be off grid 👍🏻

Trying to do a Solar DIY. Would like to charge EV. Not worried about home. Is there a way to make solar, store into battery, and go to EV? Trying to bypass DC AC conversion and simplify the build.

I live in a killing hot area of the US and am very "daunted" by all of this solar/electrical language. I wish I had somebody who could just tell me what product/products to buy for the simplest setup to plug in the smallest a/c window unit available for one 10x12 room if the power goes out this summer. I can't put anything on my roof.

Thank you for your explanations. I'm kind of a different duck (autistic 😂). Here's my approach: I run my entire house using one 12-volt panel. Not what you think. My panel runs a small 12-volt motor whenever there's enough sunshine. That motor runs an air compressor. I store compressed air in lieu of a battery and when I need electricity, my system runs compressed air through any of 3 air engines I designed and built, each one coupled to a generator. Easy peasy. Caveat: I still use mains power to run 5 freezers, but I'm working on a fix for that. My entire SOLAR cash outlay is $36 per panel. I have a few of them in the wings -- back-ups / extras.

Can anyone please explain why there is such a rush to find alternatives to the subterranean fuels we currently use to escape poverty, socialism and communism?. What do you fear from what we are doing now and in the past because if it is fear of warming the planet you can all relax because there is no melting of the polar regions to the extent most are told by supposed experts who always get things wrong. The December 2023 Arctic sea ice extent has been the highest it has been in over a decade and that happened during the hottest year on record which obviously could not occur if the planet has warmed as claimed by some. I would be very interested in finding answers to my simple questions and I hope the relevant experts will be able to answer them, thank you and Happy New Year to you.
