This panel can put out close to 100 watts kzfaq.infoUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.

So jealous. I've just had solar panels installed along with a new roof - all contractors just didn't care and have just thrown the lot up. Love people who offer attention to detail and neatness

One of the most rounded descriptions of a solar system, I’ve found, much appreciated.

I was watching this video to ask about mounting board, perfect timing. Thank you 😁

Great presentation and also great work. Your install looked very neat and professional and the builders who built the garage did a good job too. Well done.

Very interesting, thanks for that! I have a small but unobstructed south-facing roof on a terraced property that i think i could squeeze five, maybe six panels onto, so it's reassuring to hear about similar-sized installs that can make a difference.

This is great and shows that matching PV size to house use works best. Too many installers throw as much on the roof as possible without the consideration for capital cost and daily usage.

Great little system well explained 👍 getting the kit is the only problem for the rest of the year😀

Excellent. I am watching for tips as I am going to fit myself but I must admit if I was looking for someone to supply and fit you come across great i would not hesitate to use you👍

Beautiful job lads - looks the business.

Cracking video again 🔥🔥

Excellent video, cheers lads 👍

great video keep them coming

Great job.

Superb video

Great video, great explanation, would love to get into this type of work myself

Great video and explanations

Great video, all the extra explanation on the build is appreciated. In the video I also noticed that the SolarEdge modbus has to be within a certain range of the Inverter, in this case it uses the RS-485 standard, which in it's self is not bad, but for case where there is either zero cabling or distance is still an issue... it appears this can easily be transported over regular Ethernet infrastructure with converters... since the majority of these installs also require Ethernet links to the internet, it stands to reason this may help solve communications issues where all the kit does not happen to be in the same place.

Nice job @oval renewables

Bet they'll want a bigger system in the future though 🤦‍♂great video though Sam 👌

I like that 1.5KW SolarEdge.....👍👍👍👍👍

I have dormer windows on a south facing roof so have limited roof area for panels. I had 6 x 375watt panels fitted plus a 5 kw Puredrive battery. In 6 months since install made 1700kW. 700kW has come from the battery storage. I am sure I will out perform the quoted generation estimate 2250kW. So far the panels are delivering 60% of house usage. I have a 2000 gallon pond that use 2.5 to 3 kW a day. Very happy with results. Pay back will be about 5 years at 52p electricity fixed rate

Great video again and very informative. Where is the best place to get yourself the knowledge you need to start selling and installing Solar PV

Great video and really helpful as I'm looking to install an in-roof system on my own property. Just wanted to know how you were getting your cables into the loft to each optimiser? We have used Dektite Multicable lead flashing kits to bring cables through, but doing this for each panel seems a faff so wondered how you did this as its not in the video, but totally agree that having the optimisers on the inside makes life much easier should they fail.

Love your vids. Been trying to find out how the power from the solar is controlled to supply the house power over the grid, assuming it’s voltage control?

Can't beleive you are asked where you buy the document holders. Seriously, if people can't work something like that out they shouldn't leave the house in the morning unattended...Great content as usual! Lovely little job

Can you use multiples of that optimiser on a larger setup, I like the idea of having the optimiser in the roof for maintenance? Loving the videos thanks.

Nice clear description of the instal, is there a video of how a diverter is installed

The amount of arguements I've had over the years regarding the need for a DC isolator is mad, too many seem to think that the DC switch on the inverter is enough, no way I'm having that.

I wish you did Lancashire !

Use the inline trays,the roof panels sit on them,then flashings on the side, you can see some fixings but doesnt look offensive,go for a tesla battery power bank 2, and with a 4kw solar array,you can qualify for 12p per kwh import and export

Really beautiful attention to aesthetics here! Any concern on heat dissipation? Maybe not an issue in the UK, but it's come to my understanding that heat reduces cell efficiency. Would be cool, ( pun intended) if those channels created by the lumber strips underneath could act as an airflow somehow.

A small project of 5 panels of 340w to help remove the basic needs? I live completely off-grid and run my house and small business on 1200w of solar. Sometimes it is not just the supply side that needs attention. The best energy saved it the energy not consumed.

Would love to know what sort of money this would be with battery storage?

Smart. As its effectively a new build you save on the cost of tiling underneath the PV modules. #solar

I have replaced loads of the lower flashings as they slip out because not fixings. Add more silicon CT1 under the lower flashings. Good luck guys.

Given how unreliable SE optimisers are (I've got about 20 warranty replacements sat here waiting to be fitted), putting the single optimiser somewhere accessible seems like a good idea. Although I can't help feeling you might have been better off just fitting a regular string inverter! 20% of our systems and 90% of our problems are SE. An entirely functional SE system does perform a percent or two better than a non optimised system but most of our systems have faults. Something like 1 optimiser failure per 50kW per year.

Hi, love your content! A comment though about the Viridian system. I’m looking at this myself but I’m staggered at the cost of the flashings. They’re up there with the price of the panels themselves, which considering the materials and technology of each, seems nothing less than a rip off. I’ve made the same comment on Viridian’s own channel, but funnily enough, they haven’t addressed it. Any thoughts?

Great installation Sam . I have 10 x 410 solar panels with 3.68 SolarEdge system recently fitted and they never advised me about a Modbus meter. I would like to update to include a Modbus is this an easy/simple upgrade to do? I am about to have my Consumer unit replaced (RCBO's & SPD) by my local Electrician and was wondering if the Modbus could be fitted on the din rails within the Consumer unit? ( is this allowed? ) of course I would ensure there was space for this to be installed. many thanks.

Hi, I have an older system which has four sections of panels (250W) 2x 3 & 2 x 2, 10 in total could I have an optimiser fitted, I have two inverters a Solax and a Solis any ideas please.

It would be worth getting a battery and charging at low EV night time tariffs surely regardless of the small solar PV.

What other in roof systems would you recommend Sam?

21:32 Wonky mounting 🤮 I can’t unsee that!

Great Content - Quality workmanship also. Am I correct in thinking that where the panels are there are no roof-tiles underneath? It's just battens and Felt/membrane to the gutters - with tiles put around the edges against the Solar panels? Thanks Terry

Thanks for all the info. Can you fit these panels on top of existing roof tiles?

Great video 👍 quick question is there a reason why the optimizer can't be installed next to the inverter like would it be possible to extend the solar panel cables or is there a reason against this just curious . Thanks

What suction cups do you use?

Hello What size are those panels please and where to get them ? I got excited at a small off grid system from my garage roof.Hit full stop and market silence : Can you advise any information on a manual grid/solar power transfer switch Understood it was possible to select some existing house circuits: Switch them to solar as and when ? Many commercial manual power transfer devices in USA but UK appears silent ? Ms O

Interesting that the big disconnector/isolator is in the garage. Building regulations here require them to be outside and clearly labelled, so the fire brigade can easily turn them off for extra safety in case of fire.

my yearly usage is around 5500,6000kwh, so how big of a system would i need to completely remove this?

How much was this install roughly as I’m looking at almost an identical install to this?

Can the Solar Edge ModBus be installed as an independent energy monitor ahead of the installation of a P.V. system or does it need the connection of the inverter to work?

If the price/kwh for electricity goes to 50p and export is 5-7p then it would make sense to add a battery. That would seem to be on the AC side since the inverter does not have a battery input or when the customer gets their EV to really make use of excess solar during the middle of the day.

The panels are retained on the sides, but how do you stop them from sliding down?

I’ve got a garage with a supply to it and board ,do i need another cable going back to the house .?

Great video!!! The excess Energy that goes back to the grip!! Is It just lost energy to the home ?? Or does it come off on the energy you then use from the grid? Thanks

Just watched a Vlog from Blackbeltbarister, think he needs your expert help!

I've been looking to get a small system on my garage roof East/West with the very same solaredge inverter probably 7 panels. What is the orientation of this roof..

Great video. What would the basic cost of this system of 5 panel's?

Professional installation ! But there is no energy storage batteries?! See my info pls.

Can you provide a rough cost for this specific install? I imagine it might be "cheaper" as you had such nice access to the roof, and roofspace, due to it being built at the time. But would be nice to know how much a basic solar system would cost to install.

Does the modbus have to be hardwired to the inverter? Looking at a similar install but running a new cat6 would be challenging...

I'm considering solar panels but I live in an end terrace house with minimal internal space other than the loft,roof is south east facing. Would a system be worth installing, are there grants available?🤔 Thanks👍

Very interesting, cheers for this - just wondering but I've heard from people with less experience and knowledge than you, that recessed panels can be at risk of overheating and producing less power. Is there any truth in that? I'm more keen on recessed personally, less space for birds and insects to hide, and where a new roof is being built, no pointless tiles. Of course that could be a downer if for some reason the panels are removed. Cheers 👍

Yo your flying half done lol

I take it you realise you showed the properties full address in that video, despite going out of your way to cover up the serial number in the monitoring app...

I have 6 😁

Hello, I am looking to buy used solar panels in a very large quantities, do you know where I can get them in Australia?

Just a heads up, you can see the Reg Plate on that car if you stop the video in the right place.

Would this system be capable of charging an EV or would storage need to be added

Was interested to see a video from a a channel I'd not seen before, but immediately turned off after the drone footage at the beginning, showed an installer chancing it by shoving a length of metal trim, upwards directly on a panel. Shoddy work practice that.

is the solar generation meter required per regs ?

What is the model number for the optimiser?

Key question from me, what did it cost please?

Hi, one question: Without any air circulation underneath the modules, will they not get really hot, reducing the efficiency on hot summer days?

I wanted these fitted to my house but viridian said they were not taking on domestic costumers

They are going to overheat with no ventilation behind them, reducing their efficiency!

Laminate or make those One Line Diagrams and procedures into stickers . They are not going to last over time. If the owner sells the house it’s gonna be a pain for the next owner. Build things to be able to used 30 years from now without any intervention.

Ive been trying to get a small system just to reduce costs even something. Instaler told me dont waste your time. Its disapointing for small users they want you to take larger systems.

How much would a system like this cost?

The cement board on a brick wall is a bit of a waste of cement board, even if it looks nicer. Cement manufacture is terrible for the environment.

So the system needs an Internet connection, otherwise it's all guess work. Why can't the system have a visual display on site. Without the input of a third party the system could be rendered next to useless.

bypass your meter its cheaper 😅

Use concrete and make better houses 🙏🏼

Straight into adverts just so you know . KZfaq sucks

Sorry, but it doesn't look neater on the scruffy looking fire resistant board at all. Installing it all on that dirty looking board would irritate me if I were a customer.

That tune is appalling and had me stop the video.
