This video had so many personal touches and your love and appreciation for your kids shown through. Evan is so businesslike and Madelyn continues to add joy and beauty with her jewelry and lovely nails. You were so efficient in the way you used the grader and bucket to move all that dirt!!

That conduit is way undersized/overpacked for that many wires. Should have looked at code for packing factors on conduit. Should have been at least 1 1/2 “ conduit. All that labor to dig the trench only to cheap on conduit size is a foolish choice. To say nothing of the wood posts for the rack. 1,000 years. Not really

Great comment. Imagine taking time out of what I’m assuming is your VERY busy day to comment on things you don’t have the right info on. You can put 9 #8’s in 1 inch conduit. They only put 6. Also wood is pretty sturdy as long as it is built right. Ever heard of train bridges or wooden roller coaster.
@1KGoffgridhomestead Күн бұрын
Inch and a half conduit for sure would’ve been much much easier to pull 6-8 gauge wires through however my conduit scale according to code says I can put 9- 8AWG wires in a 1 inch rigid conduit. Next time I’ll use bigger conduit as to the wooden structure. It’s what we had budgeted i’m not claiming it will last 1000 generations, but it should last the 40 year lifespan of the solar panels

@@1KGoffgridhomestead I have 12.96kW of panels on two IronRidge ground mount arrays. 180 degree & 230 degree. Produce solar for 12 hours a day in spring - fall. 16 panels on each 8s2p. 2 Schneider XWPro (Master/Slave). 2 600/100 MPPT which are 600V VOC and 100 amps at up to 60 V. SOC control on 29.6kWh of Discover AES batteries. Having been on solar for years it’s interesting to see what choices people make when they are just starting out. DIY = Expensive Education for most people.

@@MargretSandover so when they need to add more solar, which they will need to, they can waste time digging another trench. Glad you took time out of your very busy day to read comments which don’t apply to you.

@ursodermatt8809 7 күн бұрын
@@1KGoffgridhomestead the ones between the solar panels and the mppt controllers. the + sign does not mean that side is the positive side, it means the Positive source is supposed to connected there. it means the direction of the current. so if the current goes in the wrong direction and the current limit setting is triggered or you manually turn it off, the arc suppression system does not work and it might catch fire or destroy the breaker. so in practical terms you need to feed in the negative wire from the panels to the positive side and vice versa. i know it might sound counter intuitive. just do some research on googles or youtube.
